I love the Nancy Drew Diaries! These modern retellings are far more realistic than the classics, albeit I love those, too. I love that Nancy relies more on her friends, understands and acknowledges her weaknesses, and listens to her friends and family. I loved Beth in this story, showing her many strengths and unique abilities. I also appreciated George's contributions.
In Famous Mistakes, a comedian, Brady, plans to perform at the new art complex in River Heights. He hires Nancy when his room is trashed at the urging of Ned, who is interviewing Brady for his new podcast. There is a lot of intrigue and layers of mystery in Famous Mistakes. Overall a fun mystery that I recommend to fans of Nancy Drew.
