Episode 76 is all about "Nancy Drew & the Mystery of Crocodile Island", in which the Clue Crew heads back to the Everglades for another Floridian adventure. Join your hosts Rose and Shelley as they discuss near-chompings, the ins-and-outs of owning a joke shop, the probability of snakes falling from the ceiling, how to infiltrate a Boy Scout tour, and why it's important to fire your crocodiles. In better news, Nancy leaves a note, there's nearly an impromptu submarine trip to Mexico, and a new PGA pro golfer is discovered during the course of crime.

In Episode 75, we discuss Nancy Drew & The Strange Message In The Parchment. Whelp, it was definitely strange, and is currently holding the lead for one of our least favorite books yet. The reason, you ask? In this episode:

- Nancy full-on re-kidnaps a child

- “The bank in Deadwood runs a tighter ship than this.”

- The reformation of Sid Zikes

- A biblical shepherd who may be in the wrong field (pun extremely intended)

- There’s a bug! IRL

- Robotic attack birds

- And most of all: ad hoc sheep poetry. Or, sheep trauma poems. Or, slaughterhouse limericks.

To quote Kelly: What in the Hannibal Lector was this book?

To quote Karen: Is Harriet Stratemeyer Adams OK?

In other news, Karen is hunting a librarian, and Kelly has a new jar of pickles.

Rated (an extremely generous) 5 out of 12 baby lambs.

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 'dometers
• secret societies shouldn't have membership lists
• Nancy needs to establish a risk assessment plan with an operational mindset

Also, Bess almost breaks up the Clue Crew.

Rated 9 out of 12 mysterious clouds.

• Death at Morning House by Maureen Johnson
