The Case of the Not-So-Nice Nurse

Valley Gay Press Book Reviewer: Liz Bradbury Here's what it would have been like if Carolyn Keene had written Nancy Drew stories set in a 1950's gay and lesbian world, where the all the unattractive people were far right heterosexual bigots and all the heroes were GLBT. Read this series of three hilarious books that match nurse Cherry Aimless with Nancy Clue, discovering mysteries in caves, convents and under the sheets, when you need to escape. The Hardy boys even make a flaming appearance in the third book. Funny, even if you haven't read the old series, but best if you have.

Mabel Maney is a legend! All the Nancy Clue mysterious are so enjoyable to read and are all so camp. All my friends keep borrowing my books now. It's really annoying because I want to re-read and re-read.

I read this book a few years ago after seeing an article about Maney in the SF Bay Times. I thought she was kinda cute so I bought her book. I read a few Nancy Drew mysteries in my younger days, but nothing as interesting as this! Very funny and clever.

I remember reading TOO many Nancy DREW books when I was a young girl. Now that I'm all grown up, have a cynical mind and like my humor sarcastic I read Nancy CLUE!! Get a CLUE and read this one!

This is one of the funniest works of lesbian fiction I have ever read. I could not stop laughing. I've loaned it to friends and given it as a gift. Not only is the content hysterical, the style is hilarious as well.
