Mrs. Squire is noted to have unusual tastes in plot devices, and this is evident in the unusual action, chapter climaxes, and various other events in the book. In a humorous but uncharacteristic, Nancy and George are drugged by inhalants at a downtown restaurant. In the climax, Nancy is captured, and left bound inside the cabin of a large boat. She taps Morse code with her high-heeled oxfords to seek aid, before revealing the mystery's solution. It is this scene which is illustrated in the book's frontispiece.
