   • The Ghost of Blackwood Hall (Book #25) The Ghost of Blackwood Hall has everything — séances, hoaxes, an abandoned mansion occupied by an organ-playing ghoul, scam artists, hypnotized girls who give their hard-earned money to a fake orphanage, a trip to New Orleans, abductions, quicksand!
   • The Password to Larkspur Lane (Book #10) A strange carrier pigeon delivering an even stranger message ("Blue Bells now Singing Horses") kicks off The Password to Larkspur Lane, one of the all-time Nancy Drew greats.
   • The Secret of Red Gate Farm (Book #6) Any book that features a cult instantly shoots up to the top of my list. In The Secret of Red Gate Farm, the cult in question wears white hooded robes (yikes) and calls itself the Black Snake Colony.
   • The Secret in the Old Attic (Book #21) Everyone knows that the attic is the spookiest part of the house (basements are just terrifying). In this case, Nancy must help a very old, very sad man find missing sheet music that could make him rich, all while dealing with some romantic drama with Ned Nickerson.
