" This is one of my favorite Nancy books. They dress up as members of a cult and go join the dancing just to see what's up! This is also one of the most random ones that I can recall. No one asks her to investigate anything, she's just nosy. She sees a guy write down some numbers, decides they must be code and uncovers the Hale Syndicate! It's genius, really. This story also contains some of the most unlikely coincidences. I'll admit that many of the books rely on Nancy stumbling over fifteen different conveniently knowledgeable people who all have a connection to her case, but this is never more blatant or hilarious than in The Secret of Red Gate farm.
