The final public domain Hardy Boys for 2024 was redeemed by this little gem.
When Jack and his father are falsely accused of stealing cars, the Hardy Boys are ready to help. Suspicion falls on a former farmhand, and the boys start to investigate. They get their own car and try to trap the real criminals.
I mean, they still rehashed all the previous cases and added more background by telling me about their friends. But! The boys also weren't completely stupid. They did get themselves sneakily "kidnaped" (seriously it was spelled that way multiple times in the version I read), but it was for a purpose. They weren't spotted at first, so they evaluated the situation and decided to get help. It actually wasn't their fault they had issues this time, so I'll give them some credit for that.
We're back to the good stuff with this book. I was getting a bit worried since the last two were questionable. I liked this one. It was quick to read and fun. Good Book!
