Excerpt/First Sentence(s):
George Fayne woke up with a start as her friend Nancy Drew slowed the car. "Are we there yet?" George asked hopefully. "I mean, it's been hours since we left Heathrow Airport."
Eighteen-year-old Nancy rounded a curve in the narrow road, then shot George a quick grin. "How would you know how long it's been? You've been sleeping the whole time."
George yawned, then peered impatiently out the window at the steep green hills rushing by. "Give me a break, Drew. After that marathon flight from Chicago to London, I'm allowed some shut-eye." She paused, then added, "Anyway, it seems like this whole trip has taken forever. I can't wait to see Moorsea Manor."
Nancy smiled. "I'm eager to get there, too. From Aunt Eloise's description, the place sounds awesome - a luxury inn on a four-hundred-acre sheep farm with tennis courts and four-star cooking. The Petersons grow all their own vegetables and herbs. And the picture in Aunt Eloise's brochure shows a cool-looking gray-stone manor house on a bluff above the sea."
"I guess that's why the place is called Moorsea," George broke in. "Because it's between the sea and the moors."
Publisher Description:
"No room at the inn" means someone wants Nancy to check out - permanently!
There's nothing like riding a horse across the beautiful English countryside, and Nancy has been looking forward to this vacation. But the danger begins even before she arrives at stately Moorsea Manor. Someone steals a road sign, sending Nancy down a dark, twisting road to nowhere. When she finally finds the inn, she's almost killed by a bronze statue dropped from a second-story window!
The owners tell her that there have been other "pranks" as well. But someone's going to get hurt - and that means Moorsea Manor will be out of business. Now it's up to Nancy to find the culprit, before the guest list becomes a casualty list!
