I liked this better than the last one, which isn’t saying much. On the plus side, there were fewer exclamation points (or I’ve just become blind to them). On the downside, there were so many adverbs. So. Many. As for the plot, it’s the standard ND mystery - suspicious looking characters, odd encounters that intrigue Nancy, physical danger as a consequence of her snooping, and the successful resolution where Nancy gets heaps of praise from an impressed law enforcement organization. We get Feds in this one!
