Customer Reviews

This is a great book!!!!! :-)

I think that this is a great book to read around Christmas time. The book is about when Bess's aunt gives her 2 20 dollar bills and when Bess goes to spend them, she is almost arrested for spending counterfeit money. Nancy clears her, but soon, she finds herself locked in a case to find the counterfieters before anyone else is killed, just like her first main suspect. Nancy soon finds herself liking one of her main suspects, and that causes her to start worrying about what Ned would think.

EXCELLENT BOOK!!! CHECK YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bess is about to spend the two twenties her aunt gave her on X-mas presents when the holiday cheer takes a terrible turn. Bess is accused of forgery because the twenties are counterfeit. Fortuneately, Bess is cleared, but the mystery of who made those twenties still remains. One of the main suspects is Marco, a person in high school that made counterfeit money; but before Nancy can find anything out Marco is murdered. Nancy recieves many threatening letters telling her to get off the case. It isn't making it easier because of the fact that Nancy finds herself being drawn to irresistable , Stuart Teal, who is a main suspect! She seems to be forgetting about the possible dangers of dating Stuart, and what about her longtime boyfriend Ned? I couldn't keep this book down for one second!
