Book Summary

Bad Times, Big Crimes is a mystery-adventure from the Nancy Drew Girl Detective series, written under the Carolyn Keene pseudonym. In this time-travel-themed installment, Nancy Drew finds herself transported back to the 1930s while investigating a case in her hometown of River Heights. Suddenly in a different era—with vintage cars, flapper dresses, and Prohibition-era tension—Nancy must solve a mystery involving stolen money, suspicious characters, and a city caught between progress and crime. As she navigates the unfamiliar past, Nancy uses her wit, courage, and detective instincts to uncover the truth and find her way back to the present. The story combines classic detective elements with historical fiction, offering readers a fresh twist on Nancy’s traditional sleuthing.

About the Author – 

Carolyn Keene is the pen name used by a series of ghostwriters who have written the Nancy Drew books since the character’s creation in 1930. The original Nancy Drew stories were outlined by the Stratemeyer Syndicate and written primarily by Mildred Wirt Benson, one of the earliest ghostwriters behind the Keene name. Over the years, many authors contributed to the series, ensuring continuity in Nancy’s character and mystery-solving adventures. The Girl Detective series, including Bad Times, Big Crimes, is a modern reimagining of the classic sleuth, bringing her into contemporary settings with updated plots, though still bearing the familiar Carolyn Keene byline. This tradition maintains the spirit of Nancy Drew while adapting her stories for new generations of readers.
