It's book #50 - - time to celebrate our half-tennial! But before talking about Nancy Drew & The Double Jinx Mystery, Karen wants to be a psychic as anxiety treatment, Kelly wants the Goldilocks amount of information, and we need your super sleuth recs! Also, Karen has amazing personal banter (check out her crochet skills @NevermoreKnots), and Kelly is in the midst of autumnal joy. We learn about the etymology of the word "jinx", Nancy hunts down Slick Fingers O'Mayley with to her clever forensic artistry skills, Merv Marvel is a Joker-style leaper, there's a Robin Cook style outbreak, there's a last-minute barn cult, and Nancy can identify a land mine at a great distance with high accuracy.

Whelp, I guess it’s time to discuss Nancy Drew & the Secret of Mirror Bay. If we have to. First, would you rather have a treehouse lair or a bunker? We get an email from Dr. Quicksand! Karen is in a season of tears, and Kelly has a bucket of margs. Flashlight arms returns, George uses judo early and often, Mansplainer Matt makes his entrance, and has anyone ever heard of a cola stop?

In the our kickoff of Season 4, we delve into Nancy Drew & the Crooked Banister! Kelly wants a robot that will rub her back. Karen wants a robot that provides a “spontaneous bring”. We are both big Robby the Robot fans, we loved the cool clues but hated they went nowhere, and we love a flaming moat but hate a loose birch tree bridge. Also - Rawley totally faked his own death right?
