The Case of the Good-For-Nothing Girlfriend

“America’s two greatest girl detectives as lovers? Could anything in the history of pop culture be more irreverent?” — New York Newsday

“Maney flawlessly lampoons the torpid style of both children’s books and lesbian mysteries where similarly nothing happens without at least three changes of clothing and a good, hot meal.” — SF Weekly

“This is good satire, done with love and nostalgia.… It’s what we’ve been waiting for: Nancy goes butch. We always knew she was.” — Lambda Book Report
