About the Series
The synopsis reads: “When a socialite is murdered, Nancy finds herself a prime suspect in the crime, along with a group of other teens present at the scene; the teens must team up to clear their own names.”
The series begins with Nancy dealing with her mother’s tragic death and trying to get her life back on track. Then she’s pulled into investigating a socialite’s murder, and she won’t be able to stay away from sleuthing for long.
