Fans of this series will LOVE this addition! I'm so thankful that the author trusts me with their book baby!
A fun romp through Zurich and Mexico to look for some missing gold. Add some dangerous animals and a mysterious stranger and you've got a really good time with the Hardy Boys and their friends.
This one lost it's thread about half way through. While the witchcraft angle was interesting and the descriptions of England and Ireland were charming, the mysteries were muddled and the ending was too convenient.
I'm not quite sure what to make of this one. Reading the front flap it sounds like this is a mystery/thriller, yet in reading it, it wasn't really thrilling and there was no real mystery. It was however, beautifully written, endlessly fascinating and the characters are interesting and really well drawn. I enjoyed it, I'm just not sure why.
Where else, but a Hardy Boys Mystery could you get hot air balloons, chess champions, a life size chess king and a trip to Hong Kong?! While VERY dated, this one was great fun!
If you're looking for a kick-ass heroine and intense action, then Russo's latest thriller is your best best! Ophelia finds herself on the wrong end of the agency she used to work for and is running for her life. This quietly intense cat and mouse game will have you on the edge of your seat as you keep checking behind you to make sure no one is getting the drop on you. Russo writes with an efficiency of words that manages to ratchet up the thrills and the danger. A great read!
The Hardy Boys return to form in the Shattered Helmet. (apparently #51 was an aberration). A summer course in film leads to a friendship with a young Greek boy, travels across the US and to Greece all in search of a helmet that had been used in an early film. Dangerous situations ensue.
