Sixteen-year-old Marigold "Goldie" Vance lives at a Florida resort with her dad, who manages the place. Her mom, who divorced her dad years ago, works as a live mermaid at a club downtown. Goldie has an insatiable curiosity, which explains her dream to one day become the hotel's in-house detective. When Charles, the current detective, encounters a case he can't crack, he agrees to mentor Goldie in exchange for her help solving the mystery. Eisner Award-winning writer Hope Larson (A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel) and artist Brittney Williams (Patsy Walker, A.K.A Hellcat!) present the newest gal sleuth on the block with Goldie Vance, an exciting, whodunnit adventure.

This was a cute detective story! Real rating 3.5 stars.

This graphic novel was a quick, fun read, but I expected more from it. I guess I'll continue reading to see if it becomes better.
By the way, I LOVED the art style! It's so beautiful.

HELL YES!!! This was SUPER adorable and fun and bright and funny and cute and a good mystery that's not immediately obvious.

I NEED more Goldie Vance in my life. The black lesbian Nancy Drew working at a hotel with her Dad while her Mom is a mermaid. Her best friend is training to be an astronaut. This is fucking brilliant.

Diane and the racing punk Skunk are like woah. 💙💙

Too bad Sugar hates Goldie so much, but someone's gotta be the bad guy, and a rich white girl with family issues makes sense.
