This book was published in March of 2005, so it is reallly recent. In it, there is a new spa opening in river heights, and the owner is Nnacy's father's client. Mr. Drew got free all day V.I.P passes to the grand-opening, and Nancy and Bess can't wait to go, although George is really reluctant. When they get there, though, there's a mystery: someone's trying to sabotage the spa. But, who? Nancy wants to find out, and like usual, NOTHING'S going to stop her. The sabotages include heat turned way up in the sauna room, meat in the all vegetarian menu, and cockroaches in the mud bath. I bought this book as soon as it came out, and I don't regret spending the money. I give this book 5 stars.

There's a new spa in town, and Nancy's father, Carson Drew, got Nancy, Bess, and George V.I.P. passes! There's trouble on the home front, however, and the spa is sabatoged. Nancy is on the case! There's another problem, though, and that's that George has been acting pretty strange lately...

This book was great! There was a good and intense plot. Nancy, as always, is very astute. I really enjoyed this. 5 stars out of 5.

Somebody is sabotaging the new luxury spa that's just opened in town, and the owner is a client of Carson Drew's. Everyone would sure like to be there for the big opening, and Nancy has tickets for herself and her best friends.

With the heat being turned way up, meat being added to the vegetarian food, and uggggh -- bugs -- this sure isn't the luxury that customers are expecting. It looks like the spa will be driven out of business, that is, until Nancy Drew is on the case.

But Nancy has to wonder -- why is her dear friend, George, acting so very strangely? Could she be at the bottom of all this trouble?

Secret of the Spa is a fun read that will readers turning the pages 'till the very end!

I bought this for my 8-year-old daughter, expecting another winner in the great Nancy Drew series. Be warned that this ain't one of them. This book is a modernized version of Nancy, and not a very nice modernization. If you're wondering how the same author, Carolyn Keene, can keep cranking out new novels after 70 years, she can't; it's a committee of authors. This one is so "modern" that it's really a turn-off. It's not the Nancy we all know and love and grew up with.
