Nancy Drew, undercover working girl! Interesting art-themed mystery. Also, Dick the Yacht Club Employee deserves Employee of the Month and MVP for this case. Though, at the same time, dude. What the heck? Sure, just let these three rando girls you've never met before but are staying at your place of employment run around with your car and take out one of the nicest boats the club has. What could possibly go wrong? You're way too trusting, Dick. For a book featuring swindlers, you could very easily have been a victim yourself.

Oh, and this is probably my favorite Bess quote to date: "Will it be a nice straight mystery, or one that's going to scare the wits out of me?" I feel like this summarizes Bess' character way better than any of the eye-roll worthy ones about food and dieting.
