Book Review of A Ghost in the Closet (Nancy Clue, Hardly Boys)

A Ghost in the Closet  (Nancy Clue, Hardly Boys)
reviewed on


Full of sexual puns and innuendo, this is a nudge-nudge takeoff on the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series of juvenile detective books from the early 20th century. Despite the appearance of two young men on the cover, the story is mostly about Nancy Drew and her circle of lesbian friends. (The Hardly brothers, after figuring in the one-page Prologue, do not enter the story proper until page 59.) And it's all not nearly as funny as the reviewer quotes on the cover would lead one to believe.
