Nancy Drew 27: The Deadly Device Hints
What good is Deirdre?
1 of 7: Sometime during the first couple of day/night cycles, you'll start getting phone calls from Deirdre, whom we met for the first time in Nancy Drew 25, "Alibi in Ashes."
2 of 7: In the first call she's just obnoxious, but in the second call she's also unethical and phony. She offers to help Nancy with her case because she got caught plagiarizing. So what possible good is she?
3 of 7: Well, actually, once you get past the attitude, which is considerable, she's actually very helpful. In a limited sort of way, of course.
4 of 7: When Deirdre calls Nancy, ask everything you can. Some questions (a request to check 911 calls or to get some background information on the suspects, among others) will send her off immediately, and she'll then call back when she has answers for you.
5 of 7: Deirdre's information is always worth paying attention to. Late in the game, in fact, she'll call with compelling evidence that one of the suspects is completely in the clear. Nice!
6 of 7: When that happens, make sure you let everyone know, since the suspect in question was everyone's favorite suspect. In particular, make sure you tell --
7 of 7: -- Victor and Ryan. This will trigger all sorts of interesting events.
