Not as diversity-loving, and the amount of times that Nancy and friends endured car accidents, being hit in the head with blunt objects, or being attacked by water is startling and a bit worrisome. But the novels are meant to be that sort of historically-intrinsic version of drama, which means something so outrageous and consistently “out there” has to happen at each twist and turn. Still an enjoyable ride, a pleasing palette-cleanser, when taken at face-value for what they're meant to be. A team of women, all of whom have a wide set of skills and help each other, solving cases, is also nice to read.
