Very Deadly Yours — Carolyn Keene

Personal: Slightly psycho sweetheart seeks teen detective for date with death -- wear white.

When Bess ignores Nancy's advice and answers a romantic personal ad in the River Heights Newspaper, she becomes the victim of a deadly mistake. It seems her date, Steve Beldon, was hunting someone else, and Bess walked into the trap. Now Steve is threatening her, and Bess has no idea why.

Nancy takes the case, but as soon as she begins to investigate, a hit-and-run driver seriously injures her boyfriend, Ned. Unless Nancy runs down Bess' blind date fast, the teen detective will be next on his hit list.
