I needed something a little on the lighter side, so I picked up the next book in the Hardy Boys series. I read The Tower Treasure in April, and I liked it.
Again, we have a serious mystery to solve. I mean, it doesn't start out that way. At first, it's just a haunted house and some missing tools. But then, suspicions of smuggling lead the boys back to the house. I don't want to say too much about the plot. These aren't long books, and I don't want to sap the fun out of it for a future reader.
I got the impression the stakes were higher than when I would read Nancy Drew, but I may just be remembering things a bit differently. Overall, this book is quick to read, in the public domain and the writing (minus a few bits where the language is outdated) holds up. I've got one more that went public this year, The Secret of the Old Mill. I'm sure I'll be getting to it some time in the near future! Giving this one a Good Book! review.
