Summary: The Dark and Deadly Pool
Review: Most every sixteen year-old girl wants to be independent from their parents, right? and what better way to prove your independence than getting (and carrying out) a summer job? Mary Elizabeth Ratterfy [Liz] did just this. When she took a job as a pool maintennence janitor at a fancy hotel, she was in store for more than she bargained for, for in the past few weeks, priceless antiques had been stolen from the hotel. She and her best friend Fran decided that someone was conducting all of these seemingly unrelated thefts, and with the clues she finds, and the murderes that are happening, this possibility seems more and more plausible.
The first clue she finds is a gap between two walls, leading to the outside. This gap (covered by ivy) is the only escape route possible for the theives. The second clue was found by Fran: a cavity in the base of a fake tree gives them the idea that the stolen items were placed there untill a safe getaway was possible.
In her last hours of her shift, she is confronted by her boss, Art Mart, and is forced to give him information. After she gives him the information Art needs, Art attempts to drown her by throwing her in the pool, but in the process, falls in himself and gets knocked unconsious by Liz's big feet. The police soon come and put Art Mart behind bars.
My absolute favorite part in the book was all the chararcters. Nixon makes believable chararters with believable lives. You can vividly picture them in your head.
I liked this book because it had a lot of mystery, action and description, all the elements needed to make a good book of this genre.

Summary: Laurie review of The Dark and Deadly Pool
Review: The Dark and Deadly Pool wasn't a very good book, and I expected it to be since Joan Lowery Nixon had written it. Most of her other books were very well written and went into great detail, but this book didn't have any of these. It also lacked at other places like it didn't have a interesting plot and it would always jump around and half the time it would not make any since. In my opinion this book was a boring, and was a waste of my time. It was about a teenage girl, who was very tall and could never find any one who liked her,until she met a boy named Fran. Fran worked with her at a Country Club, and things are getting stolen, and someone it going swimming and hanging around after closing time! So I would not recommend this book, en less you like to waste your time. I also feel that Joan Lowery Nixon could of done a way better job.

Summary: I LOVED it!!!!
Review: This book is one of the best I've ever read. It is an absolutely great book for anyone who likes murder mysteries. It is so freaky, that you jump at the slightest noise while reading it. I reccommend you read this and other of Joan Lowery Nixon's books.

Summary: the dark and deadly
Review: This book si full of mystery and you well never guess who the person is behind the crimes. The story is interesting and exciting a real thriller. Girls ages 12-16 will like this book.This book is about a teenager named Mary Elizabeth, a tall, clumsy girl, gets a great job at the Ridley Hotel as an assistant at their health club. On her second day Liz sees a figure in the pool. The figure swims up to her and grabs her shoe, then swims away. Ever since then things have gone missing. Things like meats, sliver, furniture, paintings, and vases seem to disapear. Liz now knows a lot of people at the hotel but is any of them the person behind the crimes? The person I thought who was behind the crimes was Lamar, the head of security but it really was... oh I can't tell that. You will have to read "The Dark ad Deadly Pool" to find out.
