 One of my beefs with Nancy Drew is her perfectness and the absolute adoration from her admirers which stretch to numbers nearing infinity. Nancy beating a professional golfer and setting a new course record with a hurt wrist is neither realistic or an expectation I want my niece to have. Goodness. Another beef I have is that the bad guys are typically so obvious in their disagreeable natures that it's easy to figure out who the nefarious person will be early on. This one was different but with the unexpected presence of a red herring came a bad guy that was completely absent from the story until the absolute end.
