Beverly Gray is a series of mystery stories comprising 26 novels, and published between 1934 and 1955, by Clair Blank, the pen name of Clarissa Mabel Blank Moyer.[1] The novels began as a series of school stories, following the progress of Beverly, its main character, through college, various romances, and a career as a reporter, before evolving strictly into a mystery series.

Beverly is portrayed as an extraordinarily determined individual, with "a driving ambition in her heart that would not let her idle her life away."[2] Across 26 books, she leads "such a life of adventure as would tax the resources of any soap opera heroine".[3]
