Bookroo's summary
Nancy Drew faces a puzzling case when crimes mirror the plots of Lacey O’Brien’s novels. A bookstore fire, a sunken boat, and a dognapping raise questions. Is it the author seeking attention, a devoted fan, or the bookstore owner? Nancy, Bess, and George must unravel the truth hidden within the pages of fiction. Can they solve the mystery before it’s too late?
From the publisher
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.
