Price Gauging

Whomever is choosing to sell this book at such outrageous prices is scum and I hope you end up stuck with it.

TAKE MY WORD> THIS BOOK IS GOOD

i loved this book a lot. BEsides the nancy and frank aspect, there was a lot of action, bombs, knives, terrorsits etc..of course the nancy frank thing convinced me to buy the book, but i enjoyed the mystery a lot too. I also likes how nancy is portrayed in this book, not like in Operation titanic or royal revenge, she is very clever. also Unlke all other super mysteries, Frank's thoughts and feelings are portrayed deeper than all other characthers. And there are some funnny things and comments going on between the brothers.

The Best of Them All

This is the best Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Supermystery that I've read. Even though I haven't read it in a long time (because my copy was stolen!!) I know the entire story by heart. I'm trying to collect as many ND/HB Supermysteries as I can and this one is at the top of my list. I agree with everyone else that Nancy and Frank make a great couple. They should drop Ned and Callie and go for each other. They'd make a great detective pair, especially with Joe at their sides. One thing that bothers me sometimes though, is that Nancy's feelings are always expressed about Frank yet Frank's feelings are hardly ever mentioned about Nancy...except maybe in Danger Down Under. But that's another story! Hope you all have a great time reading Nancy Drew!

This is the best book in the whole series!

Secrets of the Nile is great! In this book, Frank calls Nancy and asks if her and Bess will help them by posing as their wives. He says that him and Joe were contacted by a State Department official, Johnathan Kimball. Kimball said that two wealthy banker's sons, the Addisons, were getting married and going to Egypt for their honeymoon. Kimball wanted the Hardys to pose as the newlyweds, because it was suspected that a new terrorist group, the Hajji, would kidnap them. Frank needs Nancy to pose as his wife, and Bess as Joe's. Soon after they arrive in Egypt, their rooms are ransacked! Why? I'm not going to give away anymore, or it won't be any fun when you read it. Frank and Nancy's relationship in this book is beautiful, and Joe is always trying to impress girls, and Bess is trying to stop him. This book is a must have!!!...

Romantic

I recommend this book to any book lover! It has mystery & suspense, action & adventure and romance. I love the Nancy and Frank story. He notices every little thing about her. Like how good he thought she looked when they were in the airplane and how beautiful she seemed in front of an exotic sunset backdrop. I love the part when Frank was trapped in a coffin and all his regrets and hopes all washed down on him. And when he saw all the times he could have told her how he felt. I also love the scene in the cab and they were about to kiss.And when the case ended and Frank and Nancy went out to the hotel's balcony and it was Nancy's turn to feel regret. That she was gonna go back to the States the next day. How she would leave the fantasy of playing Frank's wife and feeling his closeness. And how Frank sort of read her mind, turned her around and kissed her. And how she pulled back because she felt guilty. and the funny part when Bess walked in on their intimate and serious conversation about how they could never be and Frank's reluctantly agreeing with her. It was such a beautiful scene, the Egyptian desert in the background and the sun rising. And how he hugged her. They are meant to be. They shouldn't have left each other! They should've stayed together!

Got to read It!

Secrets of the Nile is the best book of the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy Mysteries. Frank and Joe are asked by a State Department agent to impersonate a couple who just got married. So they ask Nancy Drew and Bess Marvin to be the wives. They fly to Egypt and They relize that the State Department agent really isn't a State Department agent. At the end Frank and Nancy kiss once almost, and the second time they did! I can't believe it but Nancy admits she loves Ned Nickerson and Frank admits he love Callie Shaw (yeah right).
