I just checked out a couple of Nancy Drew e-books. I bope I'm not disappointed.
But I've been reading "The Lineup, by Otto Penzler. Otto owns The Mysterious Bookshop in NY & got famous authors to write about how they created their characters as a way to keep his treasured brick & mortar store open. He is also a mystery editor.
Outstanding read!
I've read about Reacher & Harry Bosch so far. Fascinating & helpful to an aspiring novelist such as myself.
I'm enjoying reading how they used their own life experiences in consciously creating & naming their characters.
I'd love to visit Otto's bookstore! 
Let me know how she likes hour selections! I agree, it's great the choices kids have now!
