Nancy heads into a new case where a little flirting could lead to big trouble. When a string of suspicious incidents puts someone she cares about at risk, she goes undercover and follows the clues through parties, dates, and dangerous deceptions. Fast pacing, romance, and twists keep readers turning pages as Nancy balances her instincts with matters of the heart. Great for middle school and early high school mystery fans who like sleuthing with a dash of drama.
