So that being said, we're going to jump into the book that we're discussing today.
It was first published in 1993.
But it looks like there's a storm going on around them and there's a tagline on this book cover and it says, a rising tide of crime leads Nancy into treacherous waters.
Ooh.
So I mentioned this last week, but this book takes place up in New England and Nancy and George are actually just at this place as a coincidence.
Like they're not actually there to improve their boating skills.
They're just there for a mystery.
So there's a lot of coastal vibes, but not quite as many as this other book we read.
Number 92, The Ghost of Craven Cove.
I thought that that book captured the essence of the sea, the ocean, the coast a lot better than this one did.
This book, though, has no shortage of crotchety, bitter old sailors, though.
So when it comes to a funny cover spoof for this book, I said, George, I think we're taking on some water, and I don't mean a case of Evian.
I kept waiting for it and waiting for it, and it never happened.
There's plenty of other mishaps, though.
Also, Bess is not in this book, and I think I wrote down why that was, but we'll get to that.
When it comes to giving this book cover a rating, I would give it three magnifying glasses.
I like that Nancy and George are together on the cover, but it's not a very standout, amazing cover to me.
Okay, so now I'll go ahead and read off the names of the characters that we meet in The Secret Lost at Sea.
She is the seaport director in Bridgehaven.
I think she knows Carson.
Vincent Silvio, a master shipbuilder.
