Sabotage at Willow Woods

Sabotage at Willow Woods

I didn't like this one very much. The man reasons are the mystery itself and Nancy.

So, the mystery is a campaigning politician is getting threats sent to her. She want's to bulldoze half of Willow Woods hundred year old forest - destroying the ecosystem - and build a football field (complete with new bleachers and a ‘special' athletics building) atop it.

While I don't agree with using threats and harassment to get your point across, I also do agree with the ‘green' high school group that Nancy infiltrates as her main suspects. Nancy has a thread she follows for over half this very short book where she's convinced of certain things that...I mean...without spoilers...Nancy doesn't solve the case so much as have the culprit over play their hand and fall into her lap. (Though once I realized where Nancy's thread lead, I did solve the case. The who and the why were exactly as I suspected at 65% through this, once again very short book.)

Finally, I did not like Nancy's actions in this book, where I really feel that she let her morality slip and ... Her choices pertaining to certain things ... I just really disagreed with here.

(Edit: After checking the page count, this book is actually longer than the previous one in the series. I've been listening to them as audio books, though, and this one is significantly shorter than the previous one in the series. ... Confused now.)
