Summary: The Hardys Search For Their Missing Friends
Review: Written in 1928, Aunt Gertrude makes her debut in this volume. The plot is an excellent one, never quite equaled by the other volumes. The book begins in innocence and coasts through the first 10 chapters. From page 110 onward it is difficult to put it down if you are reading it for the first time. The Sleuth plays a prominent role and the mood is tense throughout the latter chapters. The revision in my mind was excellent. I truly loved both books and although the revisions lost the appeal and liesurly pace that the originals had, the revision of this book excedes the early chapters of the original. The latter chapters of the original were better than the revision. Both were excellent. Original: Rated A. Revision: Rated A
