  The Case of the Good-for-Nothing Girlfriend continues Mabel Maney's romp into the gosh-golly world of the girl detective novels of the '50s. Readers join Cherry Aimless and Nancy Clue in River Depths, Illinois, where Nancy's housekeeper Hannah Gruel stands accused of murdering a famous attorney. Like all good parody, Maney's novels are jammed with the genre's delights while protesting its cultural fallings.
