Nancy Drew (All New) Girl Detective
In the early 2000s, Simon & Schuster, created the Nancy Drew (All New) Girl Detective series. During the late ’90s and early 2000s, Nancy was beginning to see a slump in sales. Therefore, decisions were made to end the Nancy Drew digest series and give the ol’ girl a reboot; hence, the “(All New)” in the title. Nancy, her sleuthing pals, and the entire Nancy Drew world were all updated and rounded out with more descriptive (filler/background) information, including why River Heights seems to be such a hotbed for mysteries to solve. The series also takes on a different point-of-view, relaying the story in first-person narration from Nancy’s perspective.
The series began in 2004 with Without a Trace and ended in 2012 with Stalk, Don’t Run. From 2004-2008 (Books 1-29), the books were single, stand-alone stories. Beginning with Book 30 (Pageant Perfect Crime), in mid-2008, and running through Book 47 (Stalk, Don’t Run), the stories were told in trilogies — three-book groupings. This series has also produced a three-book Super Mystery series, Nancy Drew Ghost Stories, and six Super Mysteries with the Hardy Boys.
