Synopsis
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.

Review
"America's two greatest girl detectives as lovers? Could anything in the history of pop culture be more irreverent?" - New York Newsday "Maney flawlessly lampoons the torpid style of both children's books and lesbian mysteries where similarly nothing happens without at least three changes of clothing and a good, hot meal." - SF Weekly "This is good satire, done with love and nostalgia.... It's what we've been waiting for: Nancy goes butch. We always knew she was." - Lambda Book Report"
Synopsis
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.
