It feels like no one knows how to write a mystery or a story about women without involving their abuse and murder. We don’t need the constant reminders from the media. We are most likely to be killed by a man we know, love and trust. Women see a lot of female peril in the media and we live our real lives in a lot of fear of being stalked, assaulted, raped and attacked. As a woman raising daughters, I can’t help but notice that most crimes in our media revolve around the sexual assault and murder of women. The police – more often than not a man – begin investigating her death. Scene: a woman is running nude and barefoot (through a forest, on a beach, down a dark street, the setting doesn’t matter) and she is bleeding and in peril. We started three and only watched about the first 15 minutes because they all started the same. Several weekends ago the girls and I sat down and tried to find a new mystery thriller to binge watch.

And yes, I understand how comic books work.ĭon’t get me wrong, although both of my kids love mysteries and thrillers, I live in the world of science fiction and fantasy where no one stays dead. kill her? And have the Hardy Boys investigate her death? So for the 90th year celebration of Nancy Drew, we are going to learn more about Nancy Drew by killing her off and letting two male characters investigate her death? I’m going to give this a no. Which brings us to Friday, where I stumbled across the news that for the 90th anniversary of Nancy Drew comic book writers decided to.
