*Content Warning: There are some offensive things done to Native American remains in this book, along with jokes about the culture. There is also a word that is very offensive to members of the gay community. The word has changed its meaning over the years and originally meant "a bundle of twigs", which is how it is used in this book, but I just wanted to let people know!*

October 17, 2024 Episode #54: The Crooked Banister
Hi, True Drews!
Well, today, we are going to discuss one of the most unhinged Nancy Drew mysteries in the original 56 books, #48 The Crooked Banister.
Nancy and Carson set out to solve a case involving some of his clients, the Melodys, who were sold a piece of property that turns out to be a Native American reservation. They also figure out that a man named Rawley Banister is involved in this scam and he has the craziest house I've ever heard of. (There are robots, poison, trap doors, a fiery moat...you get the picture.)
Nancy and Carson have to solve who is also behind exploiting Native American children on the reservation. This is a very WEIRD book. *TRIGGER WARNING: A group of Native American people are exploited very unfairly in this book, which I did not like!*
