Mystery of the Desert Giant (Hardy Boys Mystery Stories)

Rating:
Summary: Great Plot, But It Needs More Action
Review: Frank, Joe and Chet fly off to the California desertland to search for a man who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Did he leave by his own choice or was he kidnapped? Also, Mr. Hardy investigates a group of criminals who are counterfeiting government checks. I thought that this book had a very good plot, it was fairly well-written, the events moved along quite well and there was quite a bit of interaction between the Hardys and the criminals during the course of the book. However, I found that the book could have used a bit more action and that, while I did enjoy the book, it never completely grabbed my interest to the point where I didn't want to put it down. I would recommend reading this book, but while most fans would probably like it, few probably would say that they absolutely loved it.

Summary: Packed With Adventure
Review: This mystery takes the brothers west into the desert in search of the missing Willard Grafton. This volume has remained one of my favorite higher volumes. The brothers have a great amount of interaction with the criminals, especially Caeser and Ringer. I especially liked the middle of the book when they are lost in the desert and hop aboard first an old antique motorized car of sorts and a freight car after that. This book flows along effortlessly while keeping the reader interested with very little suspense. RATED B+
