Laura Lemay reviewed MARY LOUISE (Annotated) by Edith Van Dyne
Review of "Mary Louise" on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
"Edith Van Dyne” is a pseudonym for L. Frank Baum, of Oz fame, and this book was part of a series that was in turn part of a craze in the 1910’s for girl detective stories. It’s…eh. The writing is breathless and melodramatic and the titular main character is kind of dull. There are ten books in this series but I think I got enough of a taste.
