The Shore Road Mystery

Surprisingly complex plot for a Hardy Boys adventure but they still manage to solve a case of stolen cars, smugglers, and a mysterious "spider man" with help from their friends Chet and Biff (Chet? Biff? LOL!).

When the Hardy Boys eagerly agree to assist their friend Jack Dodd and his father in locating a family treasure, the two young detectives are unaware of the baffling complications that will arise. Deadly road traps, aerial ambush, a spider man and a suspect who carries a menacing cane harass the young detectives as they seek the triple solution to this perplexing and exciting mystery.

What really is summer without our dynamic coastal duo, the Hardy Boys?? Finished a book yesterday and had a day before leaving on a trip.....so what better way to spend a summer Sunday in Maine than ready another adventure. This one involved almost all of the friends...unusual.....Chet, Iola, Callie, Tony, Biff and Jack Dodd. Our boys got shot at in a plane, Callie was trapped in a net under water, both boys crashed their motorcycles when a net was put across the road......and Aunt Gertrude brought the boys pie when the grenade was thrown thru the window.....just another normal summer week or two with the Hardys....cannot explain it, but i love it! Next??

Hunting for a group of car thieves, the Hardys are intrigued when a friend tells them of a lost family treasure. They're even more intrigued when the friend and his father are framed for the car thefts and subsequently kidnapped! Peril abounds again as the boys are attacked on their motorbikes, have a car rolled off an overhang at them and Frank has to rescue his girlfriend, Callie Shaw, from an underwater trap!
Still exciting despite being my least favourite of the Hardy's early adventures. I feel the quality of the writing dips a little toward the start, but once the action starts, things pick up again. Still great fun!

I absolutely loved Nancy Drew growing up. This was a series I latched on to for dear life and never let go. So after my obsession with Nancy Drew started to dwindle (mostly because I had read all the ones I could get my hands on), I moved on to The Hardy Boys because that was the natural next step, duh. Love the Hardy Boys (though they weren't quite as amazing and Nancy Drew and her friends).
