Showing results for "the girlfriend" in Mystery

The sequel to The Case of the Not-So-Nice Nurse is another hoot, a lampooning of girls' fiction of the past full of hapless, do-gooding detectives with "keen sleuthing abilities, up-to-the-minute fashion sense, and gracious finishing-school manners". Girlfriend finds our hapless heroine, Nancy Clue, racing home to River Depths, Illinois, to confess the murder of her father, prominent attorney Carson Clue; expose the terrible truth about him; and free Hannah Gruel, the selfless housekeeper who has shouldered the blame.

It’s another "street fight on a chessboard" as Criminal Justice leads a coin-toss, exploring the flip sides of Pretty Penny, Lucky Penny, and Penny Saver. One prosecutor believes just one Penny makes "sense". With her defense attorneys, Miles Ahead and The Jury Whisperer, it's a courtroom war sure to collect every penny and "make change".
