The Phantom of Nantucket

I liked the setting of the story the most of anything in it. For the first time in this series, I really felt like the crew was at a real place that was unique and fun. Early on, there's a decent amount of the area to give it a sense of place. It also deals some with the history of Nantucket, which I thought was nice and I enjoyed that.

The mystery was...typical of this series. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that the one person Nancy never suspects is likely to be the culprit. Which is a way to handle the mystery that I do not like.

Finally, I wish the titles of this series had more bearing to the actual case. It's like, the case takes place in Nantucket and what's a cool word to go with that. snaps fingers Let's just call a thief and a rash of threatening overtures a ‘phantom'. (I had hoped that this would be more ‘creepy lighthouse, phantom keeper' because of the cover and the title, so I was a little disappointed.) (Usually we have a 50/50 shot of the title actually having bearing on the case an that is too low of a ratio, in my opinion.)
