Nancy Drew

Solving Crimes for Nearly a Century

Who is Nancy Drew? 🕵️‍♀️

Nancy Drew is a fictional detective, brought to life by Carolyn Keene (fun fact - Carolyn Keene was a collective pseudonym, and many different authors wrote under her name over the years!). Nancy is a high school girl in River Heights, and uses her free time to solve crimes, sometimes joined by her best friends, Bess and George, and boyfriend, Ned. The first Nancy Drew novel appeared in 1930, but her cultural relevance hasn't declined.

Many more modern devotees of Nancy Drew were introduced to the sleuth by the HeR Interactive games. The first game, Secrets Can Kill, was released in 1998, and as of this writing, 33 games have been released. My recommendations would be Treasure in the Royal Tower, Secret at Shadow Ranch, and Ghost of Thornton Hall.
