The Case of the Artful Crime -Two Mysteries in One!

In this story, Nancy Drew must find a restaurant saboteur (more like a vandal). When Nancy goes to Arizona House, River Height's hottest restaurant, the manager, Shawn Morgan tells her about "problems" in the restaurant -things like the books being ruined, the kitchen being set on fire, and others. Nancy gets herself a job as a waitress in the restaurant to find out what's going on. It's not too long before Nancy finds one of the culprits - but the mystery isn't over yet. Why? Who else is involved? Could the restaurant staff have anything to do with it? Is there a connection with a valuable gem owned by some rich lady who lives nearby? You're going to have to read the book to find out! I love mystery books and I enjoyed this story very much. It is a children's book, but adults will definitely enjoy it too. Everybody loves a good, captivating mystery!

really good book

Weird happenings are starting to occur at River Heights's hottest restaurant. Nancy has been asked to go undercover as a waitress there so she can check them out. No one would have counted on things such as people's foods being poisoned, Nancy being drugged out, and other incedents. It is obvious that someone is deliberatly trying to get her off the case. Nancy is more than stumped when she realizes that all of this has something to do with art and a Dragon's Eye Ruby?? One of the main suspects confesses, but that is only part of the crime that is explained. There is still much more to find out!
