In episode 74, we delve into Nancy Drew & The Sky Phantom. We need to know - what are YOU wearing to a last-minute masquerade? In addition to the titular "Skyjinx"(TM), there were too many crash landings for Karen's liking, and not enough duels for Kelly's. There are many lessons learned, including:magnetized clouds are rough on 'dometerssecret societies shouldn't have membership listsNancy needs to establish a risk assessment plan with an operational mindsetAlso, Bess almost breaks up the Clue Crew. Rated 9 out of 12 mysterious clouds.

Episode 73: Nancy Drew & No One Gets A Scorpion Sting
In this episode of It’s A Clue, we discuss Nancy Drew & The Secret of the Forgotten City! But first, we crash elaborate field trips, Karen learns why vacation is a thing, Kelly heeds the PSA, and we fangirl over The Residence. Otherwise, this book was pretty “whelp”, but there were some (unintentionally) funny moments that put the shine back on our apple. In this book, George grabs a car snake by the face, everyone's terrible at archaeology, there are lots of overly complicated codes, Nancy completes a truly epic craft project, and a dude named Archie has strong “well actually” vibes while contributing nothing to the plot. That said, we both have some feedback for Harriet on this one...Rated 6 out of 12 forged relicsRecommendations:TV Show: The ResidenceBook: Sunrise on the Reaping (new Hunger Games book by Suzanne Collins)Support the showhttps://www.instagram.com/itsacluepodcast/

Let's talk about how cool Pippa is, her similarities and differences to Nancy Drew, and the neat things the book (and audiobook!) did to help immerse the reader into the solve.

Episode 70: Nancy Drew Has Competition
Whelp folks, we loved this weird eyeball book! Nancy has competition in the sleuthing space, Carson's got an unrequested new workplace boo, Nancy subverts her jealousy into soil samples, Ned is 'napped again, we have a legit psycho killer (insert song here), and most importantly, the boyfriend bracket is BACK!
