Hello True Drews! On this week's episode, we discuss book #86 The Mystery of Misty Canyon, which is honestly, Secret of Shadow Ranch 2.0. (I think I also compared book #62 The Kachina Doll Mystery to classic mystery #5 and I still stand by that too!) Nancy, Bess and George head to the Calloway Ranch in Montana to help out a friend, but find mystery instead! Renegade, a Bronco on the ranch, seems set on causing nothing but problems, causing tension with people who work at the ranch, and Tammy, the owner, may lose the ranch because of some prior financial investments her father made before he passed. It's all up to Nancy, Bess and George to solve the case! I hope you all enjoy this episode!

Hello True Drews! For this week's episode, we explore spooky cemeteries and mausoleums in book #85 The Secret of Shady Glen! Nancy and Bess primarily team up in this mystery--George makes some brief appearances--as River Heights is racked by burglaries and home invasions. Expensive things are going missing--are the Rollinses, a recently released couple of thieves, guilty of the robberies? Or is something else going on? And can Nancy help Joanna and Josh Williams, a single mother and son whom Bess occasionally babysits for? Only time will tell! I hope you all will enjoy this mystery that felt kind of like it could easily fit in with the classic 56 stories!

Hello True Drews! On this week's episode, Nancy, Bess and George get to go undercover at a department store, Danner and Bishop, where pranks are becoming a daily occurrence in book #84 The Joker's Revenge.

Holy Matrimony, True Drews! We're jumping into another Nancy Drew book, this time, book #83 The Case of the Vanishing Veil! Nancy and Bess tag along with George to Boston for Meredith Brody's wedding, but the bride won't go down the aisle temporarily when her grandmother's antique bridal veil goes missing! Is it just a case of cold feet and pre-wedding jitters or is something else at play here? Nancy finds herself in the center of yet another mystery where family inheritances, sinister characters and fun sleuthing all come to a head in a historic American city! I hope you all will enjoy this episode!

Hello, True Drews! On today's episode we discuss book #79 The Double Horror of Fenley Place--which is less of a Christmas-y book and definitely heavy on the horror movie tropes! Nancy, Bess and George get in on the fun when a horror movie, Terror Weekend, is being filmed in River Heights on location! The movie is sure to be a scream, but odd things keep happening--whenever things are written in the script, they start playing out in real life at the creepy mansion across the street, Fenley Place!
