Episode #156: The Search for the Silver Persian

Okay, so we're going to jump into the book that we're discussing today.

This is book 114, The Search for the Silver Persian, and it was first published in 1993.

So this is a very cat-centric book, and we haven't seen a book that's dealing with cats this much since way back to The Clue of the Tapping Heels, book number 16.

That book is so crazy.

Nancy ends up going into the gymnasium rafters at this cat show.

She's trying to save this Persian cat named Abatha.

That's Abatha with a B, not Agatha.

Very strange name.

And there's tap dancing in Morse code, and it's a wild one.

If you haven't read that one, I highly suggest that you do.

It'll make you laugh a lot.

I know it made me laugh.

But in this book, there is a cat show.

There are Persian cats.

Silver Persian cats.

And Bess and George are present for this one.

Ned is still not around.

He has not been around for like at least 10 plus books now.

I'm a little concerned.

If he's at a football conference, it's been like the most abnormally long football conference ever.

Or maybe he's off being a camp counselor somewhere or selling insurance, but I'm kind of like Team Nancy, you need to go check on Ned.

See what's going on with Ned Nickerson right about now.

But yeah, when I saw that this was the next book in the lineup to read, I kind of wondered if it would be similar at all to The Clue of the Tapping Heels.

Other than the cats, there's really not that many similarities.

Of course, there's no tap dancing in Morse code, like, That is very specific to the Clue of the Tapping Heels mystery.
