    Nancy Drew Book Series

    About the Book

    The television series "Nancy Drew" is based on the book series of the same name, which was originally created by Carolyn Keene. The series follows the adventures of a young amateur detective, Nancy Drew, who solves mysteries in her hometown and beyond.

    Author

    The name Carolyn Keene is actually a pseudonym used by various authors who contributed to the Nancy Drew series. The original books were created by publisher Edward Stratemeyer and were written by a number of ghostwriters, with Carolyn Keene being the most recognized name associated with the series.

    Book Series Overview

      • Genre: Mystery, Detective Fiction

      • First Published: 1930

      • Main Character: Nancy Drew

      • Setting: Various locations, primarily in the fictional town of River Heights

    Adaptation and Correspondence to the Book

    The 2019 television adaptation of "Nancy Drew" takes creative liberties with the original book series. While the core character of Nancy Drew remains a young, intelligent detective, the show introduces new elements and modernizes the setting to appeal to contemporary audiences. The series incorporates supernatural and horror elements that are not present in the original books, offering a fresh take on the classic character.

    Premise

    After putting off applying to Columbia to deal with the loss of her mother, eighteen year old Nancy Drew gets entangled in the investigation of town socialite Tiffany Hudson's murder. Alongside the employees of the Claw, the restaurant she works at — prickly manager George Fan, worldly and polished waitress Bess Marvin, laidback dishwasher Ace, and mechanic Ned "Nick" Nickerson, whom she is having a no strings attached fling with — they reluctantly ally to clear their names of suspicion. With secrets they're all determined to keep hidden, not only is Nancy determined to unveil them in order to trust them, she unearths a connection to Tiffany's homicide to a decade-long cold case turned urban legend.
