Diamond Deceit

By Carolyn Keene and Yaongyi

Book Overview

Searching for missing jewels, Nancy finds the perfect setting for murder. An urgent message from Bess draws Nancy to beautiful Carmel, California. Fading movie star Joanna Burton has accused jeweler Marcia Cheung of replacing the diamonds in her necklace with fakes. But the case of the missing stones turns even more sinister when Ms. Burton ends up on the rocks -- at the bottom of a cliff! What led the actress to such a tragic final scene? Who pushed her over the edge? For Nancy, it's a murder mystery with more twists and turns than the Pacific Coast Highway, and she knows she's in a race against time. She must find the stolen diamonds before the killer strikes again -- perhaps to put her on ice!

Diamond Days

I would recommend this book to anyone who is 12 years old and up because there is a lot of information to remember. "There are so many people I have met I have no idea who has done the crime Nancy says." This means that they met so many people; you would need a good memory to remember all the details and suspects. Anyone who enjoys reading mysteries will probably enjoy reading a Nancy Drew novel. This book from her series would be a good choice to read. "Hello is anyone in here Stephanie? Are you in here?" Nancy says this. In this scene Nancy goes to the star's house and gets blindfolded, and there are a lot of people talking. She can't tell who is talking. Even though the book is confusing at times, it is a great book.
