A compendium of recently published mystery news articles:
• In a press release, Her Interactive has officially announced the title of the 18th installment in the Nancy Drew PC game series, Nancy Drew: The Phantom of Venice. The game is expected to be available this July for purchase. A short (40 second) trailer for the game is also available on the Her Interactive website. [MBN note: All of the current Nancy Drew PC games are available on the Games of Mystery website, including the new Nancy Drew DS game released earlier this year. Also available are Nancy Drew Strategy Guides for many of the games.]
• Reuters is reporting that one of Britain's best-known children's book series, the Famous Five by Enid Blyton, is being turned into a 21st century cartoon for Disney. "The Famous Five themes of adventure, mystery and friendship are as relevant and appealing to kids today as they were 70 years ago," said the Disney Channel's Steve Aranguren in a statement. [MBN note: The original Famous Five series books are available on the First Clues: Mysteries for Kids website.]
• Time Magazine interviews Rita Mae Brown who, they say, is nothing if not versatile: feminist activist, mystery writer, lesbian pioneer, fox hunter, screenwriter, novelist, animal rescuer.
• The New York Times has brief overviews and reviews of half a dozen or so recently published mysteries and thrillers.
