The Be Like Nancy Drew Spread

The Be Like Nancy Drew Spread (13) by Glass Owl

Here is a spread that I created which I hope captures a bit of the excitement, adventure, intrigue, and the fun of reading a mystery book. (My favorite type of book!)

This spread could be used to work through a real life mystery or even used as a creative writing tool. I designed this spread to look like a book and it has 13 cards--the perfect number for a "spooky" spread!

1. The Detective
You, The Super Sleuth

Who you should be interviewing, the questions you should be asking, where you should go next

4. The Hunt For Clues
Who/what your flashlight casts a light on

5. The Overlooked Clue
Who/what turns out to be more important than you first thought, what you should be using your magnifying glass on

6. Obstacles/Stumbling blocks
People or problems that impede your investigation

7. The Red Herring/Diversion
Who/what sends you off onto the wrong path

8. Danger/Surprise/Unexpected Twist

oh glass owl, I love the looks of this spread, and kind think of many instances it'll be good to use for a read! I still have another new one thought up here this past week for mothers day that I haven't had time to try out, but will do my best to try both of these out this week.

I always loved the Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boy mysteries as a kid, and still love today to read/watch mysteries. Agatha Christie and such are among my top favorites today. Can't wait to try your spread out and let you know how it works for me!
 

Nevermore

That is a wicked spread. I will try it out soon!

Glass Owl, this spread is so fascinating! I would love to see it in action, if any of you thinking of trying it out want to post in your readings . . . :)

I keep meaning to try this with my Deviant Moon (or maybe the Fantastic Menagerie). :)
