N is for Nancy Drew

If you know me, you already know that I love mysteries. My first brush with mysteries was with Enid Blyton's Famous Five. Then I read the complete collection of Sherlock Holmes mysteries. I loved Sherlock Holmes so much that I read other books by Conan Doyle which includes The Lost World. Then I read Moonstone by Wilkie Collins and went on to read his other books. It was much later that I discovered Agatha Christie. From then on I was a devoted mystery reader. Ruth Rendell, Val McDermid, P D James, Harlan Coben, Sue Grafton are some of my favourite writers.

Where does Nancy Drew come in all this? She doesn't. I have never read a Nancy Drew mystery. As a teen, I did not have an opportunity to read Nancy Drew mysteries. Now I feel, I may find them childish. I love a fair play whodunit.

Have you read a Nancy Drew mystery? Do you think I should give it a try?
