When Nancy Drew goes undercover at the FBI Academy to protect a trainee, she has no idea that Frank and Joe Hardy are there as well. Nancy has been asked to be a 'guardian angel' for Judy Noll, the senator's daughter. An unknown assasin has already tried to kill Judy once, and the FBI needs some help. Soon after she arrives, Nancy meets Frank and Joe, who are also posing as trainees. They are working 'to expose a corrupt FBI agent in an industrial espionage scheme.' All is normal at first. Then Judy's roomate, Erin, is found murdered on a jogging trail. The hypothesis is that the killer mistaked her for Judy. Nancy decides that the only way she can save Judy is to pretend to be Judy. Set herself up as the target. Both girls look alike. Then Nancy stumbles upon a dark secret which changes the whole situation. The question isn't "Who wants Judy murdered?" but it's "Who wants Erin killed?"

Meanwhile, Frank and Joe are on their own assignment. Though I personally think Nancy's part is the more exciting one, F and J have big parts in the book as well. A good mystery for anyone, with a special twist at the end. I loved Spies and Lies! It's one of my favorite Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys books!

This is an excellent book which happens to be the first one of the series which I read.It led to my reading each and every book of that series.Nancy Drew & Frank and Joe are undercover there.Nancy- hired by special agent Burr,to act as a bodyguard to Judy Noll but ends up solving the case as you guess.Frank & Joe-undercover too hired by the Network to solve the case of the watchdog which they do. The book's great.It's super thrilling all right.There's murder,there's suspence and everything a good book needs.Though it needs some romance

i really liked this nancy drew and hardy boys super mystery. it was intriuging and suspenseful. i especially liked the ending of it because it was hard to guess who the culprit of the crime was. joe and frank's mystery was not as good as nancy's in the story though. which is okay because a lot of times their mystery is a lot more suspenseful. as for the romance aspect a different guy other then frank liked nancy and i really want nancy and frank to hook up so i was disappointed but overall it was a smashing book.

Nancy Drew is at an F.B.I. training camp to be a bodyguard for agent Judy Noll. She runs into Frank and Joe Hardy who are there on an top secret case for the Network. One night Nancy and Frank are caught talking about the case and say they are dating as a cover. In the end after many exciting events they catch the REAL bad guy and everyone is o.k.

This is the best book! in the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys uper Mystery. Although it does have some questions such as how did Nancy get in the FBI? I don't know. If you put that all aside, its and action packed aventure. Betrayl, adventure, and..... murder are all in this one book. This is a must read! (if you have read this already, read Evil in Amsterdam. That's the second best Nancy Drew and Hardy boys Super Mystery. ALMOST came in first but Spies and Lies pulled through!)

This is not one of Keene's (or whoever writes these books) best storys. It features Nancy body gaurding a person who seems(looks can be decieving)like a nice girl. Nancy (as always) gets threatened in various ways, and like in most of her books, she is tied romantically with Frank. In this one she is seen with him, talking about the case, when someone catches them. Nancy fibs and says that Frank and her are going out as a coverup

I really enjoyed this Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Super Mystery! Now, I'm one of those people who just can't resist peeking at the end of a mystery, and I have to say, had I not peeked I would have been really surprised! This book had an unusual twist to it that isn't typical of mysteries (they were guilty? Really?? How'd I miss that???). While I wasn't on the edge of my seat, it certainly was exciting! The used copy I have has such yellowed pages to it that it was a little difficult to read, but I quickly got over that once the story kicked in. I suspect that by the time of the NC&HBSM that the publisher was having authors write under Carolyn Keene's name as the books were turned out quite quickly, but it's nice to know that a mystery from 1992 can still hold its own against - and even beat some of - the mysteries of today. Way to go Nancy, Joe, and Frank!

To enjoy a work of fiction, you have to be able to suspend your disbelief. That is, the author has to give you a setting that you think could be plausible in this or some other world.

But, really, people, do you think that Nancy Drew, age 18, can pass herself off in FBI spy school as having not only completed college, but also having a master's degree in French?

And Frank and Joe, posing as college graduates and computer whizzes, are once again working for the mysterious Network, who apparently doesn't have any high school graduates who are capable of doing anything.

The guilty characters are... well, let's just say that was beyond belief as well. Not surprising, exactly, but still beyond belief.

While it's definitely action-packed (which boys will like, whereas I believe they'll hate most of the books in this series), and the FBI school setting is interesting, I think this might have been the worst book qua book in the Supermystery series.
