After reading the short story, It Had to Be Murder, I decided to pair it with another short book before switching over to a nonfiction book. I picked this one, since it's the last public domain Hardy Boys I have left to read at present.
In this book, counterfeit bills are appearing in town. The boys are affected, along with one of their friends, and even their mother! An outing with their chums raises suspicions of an abandoned mill that's recently been reopened. There's a lot of danger and risk, but the boys are on the case! I always read these and wonder why Joe and Frank seem more hardcore than Nancy Drew...
I got a chuckle at the end when the book asked if I enjoyed the adventures of the Hardy Boys. Then it answered with this sentence. "It's probably because the Hardy Boys, Joe and Frank, are fellows like yourself." Well, I'm not a fellow, but I enjoy them. They're a nice break from serious books, and I always like them. Good Book!
