Publisher Description
Nancy and her friends need more than book smarts to get to the bottom of a literary mystery in this fourth book of the Nancy Drew Diaries, a new take on the classic series.
A rash of crimes in a neighboring town—a blazing fire at a bookstore, a boat that sinks in the harbor, and a valuable dog’s dognapping—are eerily similar to the plots from famous mystery writer Lacey O’Brien’s popular books. So who’s behind the crimes? Could it be Lacey looking for publicity? One of Lacey’s superfans? Or maybe it’s Paige Samuels, owner of the bookstore that burned. Nancy, Bess, and George will have to read between the lines as they dig deep into a dangerous mystery.

Once Upon a Thriller
It was a great book I thought. The mystery was well written, and you could actually try to figure the mystery by your self using the clues, information, hints and evadence. The crimes were nicely explained and at the end too, with all Nancy Drew’s process of detective work. A fact that I realy like about this book in particular, and in most of the other Nancy Drew diaries books is they aren’t that violent, sure there are sometimes people going to jail so a little bit of violence, but other then that not to much violence, no murder which is great and no magic. Some parts weren’t described as well as others, but still well. Maybe also a little more crime from Lacey O’Brien’s books and exlain why Alice Ann Marple was evesdropping on Nancy and Paige Samuel during the interview. Also maybe a little longer of a story, Bess and George could have stayed longer in Avondale for instance and the three friends could have had another adventure, maybe based one from one of Lacey’s books, then the cousins could leave. Besides all that I thought it was a great book, and I highly recomend it for ages 9 to 13, the vocabulairy is one of 9 to 13 or 14 year olds, and I think from 9 years of age it is a good book to try yourself to solve the mystery, but older than 13 or 14 it could be a little boring.
