3/30/18 review of Nancy Drew novel The Mystery at Lilac Inn


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the Nancy Drew novel The Mystery at Lilac Inn, by Carolyn Keene, aka Mildred Wirt Benson and Harriet Stratemeyer Adams.

The thread gives a summary of the novel and some context on the novel, the Nancy Drew series in its various iterations, and the authorship of the series and this particular novel. The thread discusses the novel's plot and structure, Nancy's personality in the story, the story's sense of action and suspense, and some kind of annoying racism in the story. The thread also examines some of the queer, femsocial, and campy aspects of the story.

The tweets in some of my threads have been twisted out of chronological order by Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is moderately affected. My apologies.
