Mystery

Started out enjoyable, but the last quarter of the book dragged. Initially Frank, Joe and Nancy are called to NYC on a case of a cat burglar duo out to snag the Crown Jewels of (fictional country) Sarconne. But the book than took a turn and focused more on crown prince Jean-Claude of Sarconne and his flirtations with Bess and the escapades around a kidnapping. The cat burglar mystery was left in the dust for most of the book, until it returned with a quick mop-up that took up a paragraph or two. I wanted more cat-burglar action! ( )
