Product Description

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
DOESN'T PROVE THE IDENTITY
OF CRAFTY THIEVES!

Nancy's friend Bess has been hired by Special Effects, a River Heights company, to decorate Albemarle's department store for the holidays. When Bess discovers that her friend Ali Marie is now working at the store, she's thrilled -- the two of them can have lunch and try on clothes for fun! But when some dresses are swiped, Ali is accused of stealing, and the party's over.

Sure of her friend's innocence, Bess calls in Nancy to help find the real thief. With all the suspects and misleading clues, Nancy and her friends are running in circles -- and the holiday shopping rush isn't helping! Can they figure out the identity of a clothes-hungry kleptomaniac before the holiday season turns sour?

5.0 out of 5 stars The Mistletoe Mystery (Nancy Drew, 169), January 9, 2003

By	TigerZahn "TigerZahn" (Texas) - See all my reviews

Bess Marvin ends up working as part of a decorating group at a mall/department store thing and one of her friends gets fired for a crime she didn't commit. (surprise surprise) Naturally here comes Detective Drew and Detective George Fayne. After a few more crimes happen Nancy gets an oppertunity to join the decorating committee and then a few somethings really really really...really dangerous happens. If you want to find out more read the book already!

In short it is an awesome book that you should have atleast some fun reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun-filled holiday treat!, March 21, 2003

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas -- with the help of Bess Marvin! Bess has taken a job at Albemarle's department store to decorate it for the holidays. When Bess's friend is accused of stealing expensive evening gowns, Nancy Drew is called in to crack the case. This is a good paperback, but a little predictable. I'd say that the best thing about this book was the chapter titles, like, "The Weather Outside is Frightning," "Deck the Halls," and others. But hey, it's a great book to read at Christmas time!
