The Missing Bachelor Farmer: A Nancy Keene Mystery
The husband and wife writing team of Louise Hathaway are at it again in their latest homage to the Nancy Drew series. The opening scene of this book has Nancy Keene, a teenage sleuth, longing for the change in seasons since she and her father moved to Santa Ana, California from their home in upstate New York. She tries to prepare for an outside Halloween party in the 90 degree weather of Southern California, with ashes from a nearby brush fire raining down on her while she tries to paint headstones. She and father listen to “A Prairie Home Companion” that night, just as they do together every Saturday at 6:00 PM. Nancy talks her father into taking her on a pilgrimage to Minnesota in search of the fictional town of Lake Wobegon and they end up as members of a search party when a bachelor farmer goes missing. You don’t have to be a Nancy Drew fan to enjoy this book: it is also a travelogue that takes you on a tour of the Twin Cities’ landmarks and also the real towns that Garrison Keillor partly bases his “Lake Wobegon” upon.
