( ) When Frank and Joe Hardy are asked by Jonathan Kimball at the State Department to impersonate the sons of a wealthy New Yorker, and go on their Egyptian honeymoon, the Hardys agree. Posing as the Hardys' wives are Nancy and Bess. But shortly after arriving in Egypt, the group discover that their mission is not as straightforward as it initially appeared. As they try to figure out just why Kimball brought them to Egypt in the first place, their search for answers may be more deadly than anyone expected. I loved this book as a kid. I borrowed it from the library so many times, my mom eventually just bought me my own copy so I could re-read it at my leisure. Reading it as an adult, it holds up relatively well. It took me about forty pages before I remembered where the mystery was going. However, I was amused at childhood me and the moments between Frank and Nancy that I found SO swoony when I was 8. I also cracked up at the cliffhangers at the end of every chapter. The age of the book shows and as an adult the suspension of disbelief required to believe that the State Department would ever hire a group of teenagers (to pretend to be twenty-somethings) was difficult. But my fondness for the book remains and an adult re-read didn't ruin the book for me. If you're a fan of Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys double mysteries, I will always recommend this one. no reviews | add a review
