Book description
America's favorite girl detective is back to set the record straight.
According to our titian-haired heroine, she was not in fact a fictional
character, but an intrepid real-life sleuth who investigated some of the
twentieth century's biggest mysteries. And the famous series she starred
in was not cooked up by a team of writers, but plagiarized from her
exploits by her nosy college roommate Carolyn-who, not surprisingly, got
a whole lot wrong.
Here are the daring escapes, brilliant hunches, and dependable stock
characters, including interlopers from numerous other beloved series,
that have delighted generations of fans. And here, also, are the details
of teen-sleuth life that you never saw: the secret romances, reckless
driving, minor drinking problems, political action, and domestic drama
that have, up till now, remained hidden from these brave detectives'
adoring public.
Chelsea Cain is a longtime teen sleuth
enthusiast and the author of The Hippie Handbook, the memoir
Dharma Girl, and the forthcoming thriller Heartsick.
She edited the anthology Wild Child, about daughters of the
counterculture. She has written for a wide variety of
publications and is currently a humor columnist for the Oregonian.
She lives with her family in Portland, Oregon.
