The Bike Tour Mystery

Nancy Drew #168. In this story Nancy and the girls are on a bike tour in Ireland. Two of the girls are major riders but one of them seems to be scared of someone she sees. From the start things start to go wrong on the tour with a tire slashed, George almost hit by a car, and a rock nearly killing Nancy.

One of the girls gets kidnapped and, somewhere along the line, Nancy has learned karate. (About time.) More background is given on the girls before the villain is caught.

I admit I haven't read all the Nancy Drew books (yet) but I can recall Nancy having such a devotion to bike riding that she would go all the way to Ireland for a bike tour. It just seems a little unusual. Also Nancy's sudden use of karate when nothing I've read (so far) indicates she has had any training at all in the martial arts.

A somewhat average book.
