Naples, FL 2023 #3 - Another roller-coaster ride with these teen sleuths......and once again a collision of what i am living and experiencing colliding with a 'random' book i choose to read! I always try to read a Hardy Boys book on vacation....this was next in line and packed and shipped it weeks ago. The day prior to reading this, I was fortunate to visit the Edison/Ford estates in Fort Myers, FL, and was schooled extensively in Edison's long-term quest for a domestic source of rubber. And what do you think our eccentric scientist outside of Bayport was secretly working on when he engaged the Hardy Boys help in 'The Flickering Torch Mystery' the very next day???? I'll bet you have guessed. ( )

Two pilots die in a mysterious crash. The Hardy Boys are asked by there father to help figure out why the pilots died. The Boys pull in all of their friends to help solve the mystery. Some of the chapter headings give away what to expect but the author throws a twist here and there to keep you hooked to the end. ( )
