The Case of the Good-for-Nothing Girlfriend: A Nancy Clue and Cherry Aimless Mystery

Maney’s playful series parodying the 50s’ girl adventure books continues in this raucous sequel. Nancy Clue and her gay chums embark 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-hells in love 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 here 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.
