Nancy Drew Diaries #1 Curse of the Arctic Star by Carolyn Keene

Nancy's friend Becca asks her to travel on the Arctic Star cruise ship when it embarks on its maiden voyage to Alaska.  Threats have been made and suspicious events have been occurring.  Can Nancy along with George and Bess figure out who the culprit is before the Arctic Star has a bad reputation?
This mystery was not as well developed as other ones I have read recently.  I found myself becoming frustrated at all of the interruptions that prevented Nancy and her friends from solving the case.
By the end of the book the major crime is solved but there are still loose ends.  To find out the answers to other mishaps, the reader will have to read book number two, Strangers on a Train.
Point to discuss: Bess' boyfriend Alan is along.  The foursome share a suite but not bedrooms.  Bess and Alan do not "do" anything inappropriate-just hold hands or a kiss on the cheek.  This relationship is consistent to the Nancy Drew series first written in the 1930's.
