    A sweet taste of nostalgia. I used to devour this series when I was in junior high. I remember one night, when I was visiting my dad in Oregon, and we were staying in this new house. It was raining, and I was camped out on the second floor with my brother and sister (no beds in the house), and I probably read three of these books that night while sitting next to the space heater. Good times, good times ...Now, I have to admit these books aren't really that good. They're very formulaic, with every chapter ending on some kind of cliffhanger, even though most of these are contrived and resolved without any problems in the first paragraph of the next chapter. The characters never change or progress: Nancy is the spunky and curious one, George has the common sense, Bess is a flirt worried about her looks. I think the publishers might even have had a rule about how long they could be, because each one ends on page 150. But I like these books! It doesn't bother me that the characters are flat, because I like who they are. The mysteries aren't complex, but they're such a quick read. It's probably just because I read them when I was young, but poor quality notwithstanding, I still like them, so I'm giving them three stars, even if they don't deserve that many. Oh, and what was this book actually about? Well, Nancy is called on by a fashion mogul for help with some threatening letters. Turns out more than dangerous pranks are afoot, as a little dog is killed and several attempts are made on the not-so-nice designer's life. Right, and Nancy is poisoned on accident and needs to find the bad guy in time to find an antidote before she expires. Such excitement! Heh. I had fun reading it.
