Review: Nancy Drew meet Encyclopedia Brown
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 14, 2012
At present there are three titles in this series.Mandy Dru - The Clue in the Mini-Fridge (Mandy Dru Mysteries, #1),Mandy Dru - The Zumba Mystery (Mandy Dru Mysteries, #2),Mandy Dru - The Secret of the Mismarked Grave (Mandy Dru Mysteries, #3).When I was a kid I inhaled the Nancy Drew Mystery Books, Encyclopedia Brown and the Two Minute Mystery series.  I will now add the Mandy Dru series to the list and it has the benefit of being written for adults.  They are short little mysteries that make you go hmmm and voila you know the answer (without having to turn the book upside down).While hard core mystery buffs may find this very light and the answers obvious, I found it just right for an in between read while traveling.  I didn't have to invest heavily into the story, just enjoy the development of a new character that I would like to meet again and again.Although I thought I might give this series a 3 rating as the character development is spread over the 3 books, and the mysteries were fairly obvious, I decided that as the book descriptions are for light mystery and each short story can stand alone then they deserved the 4.
