About the book
Nancy Drew is in New Orleans to celebrate the opening of an ultrachic Creole restaurant. The idea of the Royal Creole was cooked up by Nancy's friend Shelley and Shelley's new husband, chef Remy Maspero. They're so sure the restaurant will be a hit that they've committed every penny they have to its success. But while they've gambled their savings, it may be up to Nancy to save them. Because someone is determined to sabotage the Royal Creole and turn it into a royal disaster!
