This is an adorable, light-hearted mystery where all the important characters are lesbians. It’s so cute and silly and gay, I love it. Despite the 1950s setting, it’s refreshingly lacking in homophobia - it never even comes up as a plot point, the closest thing is the way one of the butch girls in the gang keeps getting mistaken for a man. no reviews | add a review

If you know the specific gravity of gold, travel with the Nurses' Guide to Snakes, or can get a raisin pie stain out of a pink poplin frock, you'll fit right in with Nancy Clue and her gay chums on a road trip from sleepy Pleasantville, Idaho, to sparkling River Depths, Illinois, where Hannah, Nancy's beloved housekeeper, stands wrongfully accused of murder! Nurse Cherry Aimless, who fell head-over-penny-loafers for the world-famous girl detective in The Case of the Not-So-Nice Nurse, must help her new sweetheart clear Hannah's name - and her own - and restore her sterling reputation. But does Nancy deserve her devotion? Troubling discoveries force Cherry to do some sleuthing of her own to see if Nancy is really the sweet, upstanding girl she seems to be - or a shameless flirt! Mabel Maney's playful parody of 1950s girl adventure books continues in The Case of the Good-for-Nothing Girlfriend. This raucous sequel also stands on its own as a swell introduction to Cherry and her pals, and a food and fashion guide to the glamorous Eisenhower years. No library descriptions found. |

If you ever read any of the pulps you'll love these books. As I kid I had many books of The Rover Boys, The Bobbsey Twins, and Tom Swift series, never had any ND or HB. But I just love the nostalgia factor along with the wicked twist Maney has for her characters and the laughs her descriptions and the characters inexplicable actions produce. ( )
