Product Description:
America's hottest teen detectives team up to defuse an explosive scheme.
Nancy Drew and her friend Bess are vacationing in Greece, land of romance, history, and mystery. They befriend Alexis Constantine, daughter of a famous shipping magnate, and are invited to sail on the family's yacht in the Greek islands. But Nancy and Bess soon discover that they are headed into some dangerous waters. Alexis is kidnapped, and after a caller threatens to kill her if the police are notified, Nancy realizes that the young woman's fate is in her hands.
Meanwhile...
Frank and Joe Hardy have come to Greece at the behest of the ultrasecret Network. Their mission: Pursue a renegade American operative suspected of stealing a dozen superpowerful Phoenix missiles from a U.S. military base. Together with Nancy, the Hardys set off on a spine-tingling Greek odyssey across a sea of duplicity, danger, and imminent destruction...

Among the rocky coasts, shimmering turquoise waters and ancient ruins of Greece you can rest assured that a mystery lies in wait for Nancy Drew and the Hardy brothers.
In Islands of Intrigue, Nancy Drew, Bess Marvin and the Hardys meet up in Greece by chance. For the girls, this Grecian vacation is nothing but a pleasure trip, but for the Hardys -- it's work. A dozen Phoenix missiles disappeared from a military base near Athens, along with an undercover agent. The Network is convinced that the agent, Terry Brodsky, is going to sell the missiles to another country.
At a smart cafe in Athens, Nancy Drew overhears a man threatening to kill a girl. Nancy offers her help to the young woman, Alexis Constantine, who is the daughter of one of the richest men in the world. Suddenly, Alexis disappears.
Nancy and the Hardys find that their cases are starting to connect...
Islands of Intrigue is one of the better books of the later Super Mysteries. It comes before the series jumped the shark with a bunch of enviromental and animal rights issues in books like "At All Costs," and "Murder on the Fourth of July."
True, you won't find the "Nancy/Frank" stuff in this book, but too much of the attraction actually takes away from the mystery.

As a big Nancy Drew fan I found this book exciting and one of the best books in the Super Mystery series. It has excitment and suspence, not to mention mystery! As Nancy finds herself and Bess( Nancy's best friend) in the romantic islands of Greece she also finds herself a mystery as a new friend of hers,Alexis Canstantine, is kidnapped. Well just as she always does, Nancy sees this as a chance for a much enjoyable mystery. Meanwhile the famous brothers, Frank and Joe Hardy, also find them selves in Greece but for a different reason. They are there to follow a man accused of stealing a dozen of U.S. super powered misiles. I give this book two thumbs up! It was an exciting page turner, you won't be able to put it down!

When are ya'll people gonna learn that the whole Nancy and Frank thing is utterly and completely over. They kissed how many times two thats right only TWO. Then after that they admitted that it felt very very wrong and very awkward. I mean they say that they LOVE Ned and Callie they just don't love other people they love Callie and Ned. So get out of your head that there is ever gonna be a thang going on between Nancy and Frank!
I loved this book but I do hate it that Nancy ALWAYS DOES get the stupid and almost worthless case. It's been a while since I've read this book so I don't know whats going on but I know she has a crapy case. Like the one where she's in Memphis and she has recover a stolen guitar Puh-leeze!!! Where "The Hardy Boys" are tracking international spies, assassins, terroists etc. etc. It always seems that way no wait it is always that way! Other than all that "other stuff" it was a pretty good book ;)

Don't waste your money! This book was so boring. It had nothing good about it. The plot was confusing and dull, there was no Nancy/Frank stuff, and once again, Nancy got the small potatoes case while the Hardys were chasing international spies or whatever. Huge disappointment. I had to force myself to read it so that my money wouldn't go to waste with the book just sitting on my shelf.

This book was very cool - and is a good read if you're the type of person who is into "international mysteries/James Bond-ish" stuff. I found it to be one of the better of the Super Mysteries. It is fast paced and the literary style is especially remarkable. However, the frequent shifts in the narrative voice, characteristic of all Supermysteries, is quite annoying.
