Nancy Drew in California Dreaming, Part 5
Geoff Summers went running most mornings and worked out in the local gym, but he was no match for Nancy. The girl sleuth, used to pursuing bad guys no matter what the weather or terrain, swiftly overtook the art dealer fugitive. Before Geoff had even cleared his own street, he found himself suddenly seized from behind and hurled against the fence, only just stoping himself from tumbling over. An angry red haired detective stood looking at the young man as he tried to regain his breath, her arms folded. “Now are you going to talk to me, Mr Summers?” she demanded.
“Sure,sure..” stammered the breathless and nervous-looking man. “I don’t know what you think you have discovered, Miss Drew,” Geoff told the young woman earnestly, “but I promise you it won’t be what it seems!” Nancy looked at Summers as he leaned into her conspiratorially. “I’m all ears.” she replied.
To be continued.

#ARC #CharlotteIllesIsNotADetective by #KatieSiegel #NetGalley #CozyMystery #LGBT #Humor #Contemporary #BookReview #KensingtonBooks
Imagine being a teen sleuth like #NancyDrew but grow up and want to move past that? For #CharlotteIlles, it's not that easy. #KatieSiegel #NetGalley #BookReview #kensingtonbooks #cozymystery #teensleuth #teendetective #June2023Books #newbooks #ARCReview
As a kid, Charlotte Illes’ uncanny sleuthing abilities made her a minor celebrity. But in high school, she hung up her detective’s hat and stashed away the signature blue landline in her “office”—aka garage—convinced that finding her adult purpose would be as easy as tracking down missing pudding cups or locating stolen diamonds. Now twenty-five, Charlotte has a nagging fear that she hit her peak…

The Mystery of the 99 Steps, The Nancy Drew Mystery Stories #43 (1966). Source: Alamy Stock Photos
Nancy and her companions travel to Paris and the Loire Valley in France, to see if they can solve the mystery of a staircase that appears in a friend’s frightening and recurring dream by locating the set of steps. Although this starts as a light hearted investigation, it becomes more serious when Nancy links it to a possible blackmail plot against Monsieur Leblanc, a financier friend of her father’s who is inexplicably selling stock in his company. As Nancy, George and Bess pursue their investigations, the 99 steps become more and more key to solving both the mystery of the dream and to catching Monsieur Leblanc’s possible blackmailer. The chief suspect is a Monsieur Neuf who warns Nancy not to investigate the steps and to stay out of Paris. Monsieur Neuf is eventually revealed to be a Louis Aubert, a scientist dabbling in alchemy who has persuaded Leblanc he can convert any substance into gold. The motive for this is eventually revealed when the girls do indeed discover the 99 steps and the fact that at the bottom of the stairs, Aubert/Neuf has hidden a cache of stolen gold to pass to Leblanc in exchange for a controlling interest in his company.
This is one of of the 1960s reboot stories and, with its foreign locations, mysterious villains with fake names, dream sequences and pursuits, clearly takes its cue from the camp espionage films of the time. It probably crams too much in for its own good and although the girls’ search for the steps throughout Paris until finally locating the real stairs in a Loire Valley country chateau is fun, the discovery of the gold and the unmasking of Aubert is a little tame.

Digimon Cyber Sleuth never got the credit it deserved. Easily one of my all time favorite games, and with mods it's even more fun! Final fantasy-esque 3 on 3 battles, interesting damage system, three of your digimon follow you (!!) Wish the game got more credit/accolades because I really wanted them to make more, but even just as Cyber Sleuth and Hackers Memory it's 11/10.

The Clue Of The Stone Seat by Andrew G Paul (2024)
Chapter 15: The Stone Seat’s Secret Revealed!
“…and so you see, Mr Rogers,” Kannika explained, “the Stone Seat of Mahakala was never the hiding place of the treasure. That was the Temple of Nargarjuna, twenty miles from here. If you knew your Siamese history, you would know King Sanphet I transferred the jewels there in 1568, shortly before his death. You have been digging in the wrong place!”
Rogers glared the Chailai Academy sixth former, inwardly fuming at the girl detective’s precocious arrogance. “Don’t patronise me, young lady.” he said sourly. “The Pakrett Scrolls clearly identify the Seat of Mahakala as the hiding place. Sanphet was bluffing!” Kannika shook her head solemnly. “The university have already been to the Temple and retrieved the artefacts.” she told the exasperated man. “Your attempt to steal this vital part of my country’s heritage is over! The Antiques Division of the Bangkok police department wish to speak to you - especially after seeing the evidence of your wrong doing I sent them this morning.” The schoolgirl sleuth stood up then. “I suggest you confess your crimes to me, sir. It will go easier for you if you do.” The crooked archaeologist stared at the young woman, resentment blazing from his eyes. “Curse you, you interfering little wench!” he blurted out bitterly.
***
A broken man, Rogers confessed everything to Kannika, implicating not only himself but also the crooked dealers and researchers who had aided his theft attempt. After he had finished, the girl tied Rogers’ wrists together securely behind him with the length of rope she had brought for that very purpose, and then sat him down on the Stone of Mahakala. As the sound of wailing sirens drew closer, the Chailai Academy Detective folded her arms and looked down on her unhappy bound captive, who remained in miserable silence, staring at the ground. “This is as close as you will ever get to Sanphet’s treasure, Mr Rogers.” she told the captured man, a note of proud satisfaction in her voice.
