This will be the last Hardy Boy Mystery that I collect. I had wanted to get the original canon, which is comprised of books 1-58, but being anal, I needed to have a whole number in the collection, so bumped it up to includes numbers 59 & 60. The Mystery of the Samurai Sword made me nervous, considering how racist previous books in the series were, but this one surprised me. There were hardly any stereotypes pointed out in this book. The mystery was pretty well done, and the "Agatha Christie, everyone in one room big reveal" type ending actually worked and didn't feel too pat.
