Check out Susan Kandel's second installment in her Cece Caruso gumshoe series, Not a Girl Detective. The Nancy Drew Sleuths and their 2003 NYC convention provided inspired research for Susan's book and the hilarious fictional Nancy Drew® fan group, the Nancy Drew Society of Chums. Cece writes biographies of dead mystery writers and manages to stumble upon mysteries while researching. She's also a vintage clothing aficionado. Susan's first novel in the series, I dreamed I married Perry Mason, was a Los Angeles Times bestseller. Not a Girl Detective was published in June 2005 and it was followed by several more Cece Caruso novels. Visit Susan's website for more information and vintage clothing tips!

Synopsis of Not a Girl Detective: Cece Caruso spent her youth idolizing teenage super-sleuth Nancy Drew, a fantasy that surely influenced her grown-up job writing biographies of deceased mystery writers. And before she knows it, Cece gets a shot at imitating the beloved girl detective. Researching the life of pseudonymous author Carolyn Keene, she meets a fascinating collector of "Blue Nancys," the early books with blue covers. The collector even offers her the use of his Palm Springs vacation house when Cece attends a wacky fan convention to meet more Nancy-holics. But amid the fun, Cece discovers her patron stone-cold dead, and now she has to unmask a very sly killer before a dangerous enemy comes after her.
