More About the Author

Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon are the pseudonyms under which many ghostwriters penned the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series, respectively. Both series were created by Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate book packaging firm, in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Stratemeyer's daughter, Harriet, and syndicate writer Mildred Wirt Benson were the two people primarily responsible for bringing the iconic character of Nancy Drew to life in the minds and hearts of millions of readers around the world.

4.0 out of 5 stars No rest for detectives; Nancy's on another case!, June 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Smile and Say Murder (Nancy Drew Casefiles, Case 4) (Paperback)

Nancy's new case takes her to Chicago, where Yvonne Verdi, editor and co - owner of a new teen magazine called Flash, is getting death threats. Yvonne claims that the culprit is Mick Swanson, her partner, and she just wants Nancy to prove it. Nancy isn't so sure until she's the victim of one of Mick's sick practical jokes. Nancy's working under cover, but Mick has branded her as Yvonne's spy, so half the office is giving her the cold shoulder. When Nancy's boyfriend, Ned, comes to help her with her detective work he falls for Mick's sister, Sondra. Now Nancy has two jobs; find out who the poison pen writer is and keep Sondra away from Ned. I loved this Nancy Drew because Ned finally gets a little fed up with tagging along on all of Nancy's cases, and Nancy realises how much she takes Ned for granted.
