Minette's House of Design is located in an old moulin (windmill) in the Montmartre district of Paris, and it's not long before Nancy is digging into the past of the previous owner and uncovering a trail of romance and intrigue involving the French Resistance and rumours of missing treasure. Will Minette's Spring Collection be ready on time, and what about her couture projects? She's woefully behind in her work and Nancy is charged with investigating the matter. Well that's the 'official' reason for taking up the position, the real reason is to keep an eye on Minette herself as she's been acting strangely lately: sacking staff willy nilly, throwing temper tantrums, not to mention wearing a white face mask all day long. She's been asked by Amy Grunhild to join the team at Minette's House of Design as an assistant. Once again Ms Drew is on a case, and she's off to Paris this time. There's a lot more that's familiar in this game too, maybe a bit too much of some bits and not enough of others, but it all adds up to another mostly enjoyable adventure. The music ought to be familiar by now as Nancy Drew: Danger by Design is the 14th game in the Nancy Drew series. That familiar Nancy Drew theme rings out and I smile on cue. Review by Rosemary Young (September, 2006) When I click on the Nancy Drew icon to start yet another Nancy Drew mystery I feel a bit like Pavlov's dog these days.
