In this episode Janelle and Becky come back together after their solo episodes to take a close look at Nancy Drew through the lens of the Enneagram.
______
The opening quote used in this episode was from a memo sent from Edward Stratemeyer to Grosset & Dunlap to sell this series of stories about the girl sleuth. It can be found in box 320 of the New York Public Library, or it can be found the way we found it in the Edgar Award Winning book: Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her by Melanie Rehak (Harcourt Books, 2005). https://www.melanierehak.com/girl-sleuth/
Read the book for yourself: The Secret of the Old Clock

In this solo episode, Becky takes a close look at the dark and seedy world of the Private Detective and Femme Fatale using Raymond Chandler’s novel, The Big Sleep.
______
Most of the facts and information about Hard-boiled fiction and Film Noir came from extensive research. The sources I depend on most heavily is Eddie Muller’s 2 seminal and really fun works: Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir and Dark City Dames: The Wicked Women of Film Noir
Raymond Chandler’s influential essay about detective and crime writing: The Simple Art of Murder
The greatest Hard-Boiled novel, and the text of this episode: The Big Sleep
As promised, my Film Noir recommendations:
“Double Indemnity”
“The Maltese Falcon”
“Out of the Past”
“Sunset Boulevard”
“The Big Heat”

In this solo episode Janelle takes a close look at Dame Agatha Christie’s most famous detectives: Monsieur Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple, through the lens of the Enneagram
______
Unless stated otherwise, most of the facts about Christie, Poirot, and Marple come from this most helpful website: https://www.agathachristie.com/
The texts I consulted to type these characters:
Poirot: https://www.agathachristie.com/stories/the-mysterious-affair-at-styles
Marple: https://www.agathachristie.com/stories/the-thirteen-problems
Here’s that link to the “10 Commandments”: https://www.writingclasses.com/toolbox/tips-masters/ronald-knox-10-commandments-of-detective-fiction
And finally, if you’re really interested and feel like you want to wade through some murky narratological waters, here’s a link to Janelle’s master’s dissertation on Agatha Christie’s use of narrative focalisation: https://www.academia.edu/3569914/Concealing_the_Story_A_Study_of_Agatha_Christies_Use_of_Narrative_Focalisation

In this episode we take a close look at Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s dynamic detecting duo Sherlock Holmes and John Watson through the lens of the Enneagram
______
Edgar Allan Poe changing the focus from a “detective story” to a “tale of detection” specifically comes from Charles J. Rzepka’s book Detective Fiction, (Cambridge: Polity Press, 2010)
I am grateful to the incomparable Richard Lancelyn Green, the foremost Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle scholar who has done immense work on all of the rumors, stories and truths about this story that we shared. Additionally the fantastic introduction to the Barnes and Noble to The Complete Sherlock Holmes: Volume I is a great, and completely accessible source! Check it out: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/complete-sherlock-holmes-volume-i-arthur-conan-doyle/1100318390#/
If you want to read the story we used to type these characters, in a really lovely (and affordable) version: https://www.amazon.com/Study-Scarlet-1891-Illustrated-Anniversary/dp/1949460568/ref=sr_1_13?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1547701472&sr=1-13&keywords=a+study+in+scarlet
Because these are always so fun, here’s a quiz to tell you if you’re more like Sherlock Holmes or John Watson: https://www.buzzfeed.com/keelyflaherty/are-you-more-like-sherlock-holmes-or-john-watson

There are so many adaptations of this, but some of the best are:
“Hook”
“Finding Neverland”
If you can find it, the cheesy and magical stage adaptation starring Mary Martin.
And, of course, the classic Disney adaptation.
For your enjoyment, here is the song from the Disney adaptation that is consistently stuck in my head as I read this, “Second Star to the Right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kReGp7v4vG4
