The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is finally here and we DEVOURED it! The sequel to the Inheritance Games, this book doubles down on the puzzles, teen drama, and thrillery goodness we have all come to cherish. Karen does an impromptu William Blake poetry recitation and Kelly blows it out of the water with her theories for the conclusion of the trilogy. Our sisterhood becomes divided over allegiances to competing Hawthorne brothers, but we forge a truce in our devotion to Libby, the...
More from It's A Clue
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 ...
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: a...
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 break...
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 code...
In episode 72 of It's A Clue, we talk about our new favorite sleuth-y book, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson! First though, Karen loves Annie Oakley and people singing with gusto, and Kelly was a life-sized paper doll and is chasing happy. Then, on to AGGG2M, which we loved! 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. Also, don't drink suspicious t...
