this was the most extreme mystery yet!!!! I was deeply concerned to the physical and emotional state of Nancy's friend, George. You see, George was abducted by thieves, drugged, and threatened. I was concerned because Nancy and Bess didn't really seem to care, Nancy was more focused on solving the mystery than being there for her friend. There were also several times in this book (i feel more so than others) that Nancy put herself in really sketchy situations, practically looking to be bound and gagged.
Nancy was out to catch a gang of thieves who wore black velvet masks, "The Velvet Gang" and stole things from really extravagant parties. Nancy was determined to figure out who the gang was made up of. Usually in her mysteries, there are multiple cases she is trying to solve that eventually all tie in, but this one only focused on the masked thieves. I did enjoy this mystery, because there were a lot of things I was not expecting in the book.
This book mentions several of Nancy's friends from school, Gloria Hendrick, Linda Seeley, and Alice Tompson. I find this interesting because there isn't much talk of Nancy's schooling. She reference Chemistry class in one of her earliest books and talk of her taking art classes has also been mentioned. Ned and friends go to college, I guess since all of her time is devoted to sleuthing, she doesn't really have time for higher education.
