The Case of the Not-So-Nice Nurse (A Nancy Clue Mystery) - Softcover
When nurse Cherry Aimless lands in San Francisco in search of Nancy Clue and a flock of missing nuns, the earnest white-girl 1950s meet the oh-so-queer 1990s in a parody of both girl detective novels and lesbian romantic fiction. This latest edition has a new introduction by the author.

About the Author:
Mabel Maney is the author of the three books in the Nancy Clue series: The Case of the Not-So-Nice Nurse, The Case of the Good-for-Nothing Girlfriend, and A Ghost in the Closet (all available from Turnaround). She is also the author of two parodles featuring Jane Bond (James's lesbian twin sister): Kiss the Girls and Make Them Spy and The Girl with the Golden Bouffant. She lives in San Francisco.
From Booklist:
In this artful, hilarious send-up of girls' fiction of the past, innocent, naive recent nursing school graduate Cherry Aimless is drawn into pursuing a "case" when a beautiful patient in her psych ward mysteriously disappears after a visit by a nun. Cherry seeks the aid of forthright, courageous Nancy Clue, whose attorney-father has lately been done in by his housekeeper of 30 years. What is the clue in the book the missing patient gave Cherry? What happened to the conventful of nuns, presumed kidnapped, from which the visiting sister came? Where is Aunt Gertrude? Will our heroines escape the midnight prowler? the ticking time-bomb? And then there's the murder: will goody-good Cherry and her chums triumph? You bet, but along the way guileless Cherry has many peculiar things happen to her, all made shriekingly funny by her inability to distinguish drag queens and dykes from ordinary mortals. Many a fan of the (Cherry) Ames and (Nancy) Drew series will be delighted by this wonderfully wry parody--and rewarded by a not-bad mystery, too. Marie Kuda
