This book was in new condition as advertised. I received it quickly, and securely packaged. Absolutely no complaints with this purchase. I would absolutely buy from this seller again.

I received the book within the advertised time frame and it was in very good condition as described. Thank you.

I loved the Hardy Boys mysteries since watching the Mickey Mouse Club on TV in the 50s. My favorite book was “while the Clock Ticked. I noticed on an Amazon listing and ordered it. And, enjoyed it immensely.

A Fantastic Story! Adventurous,Non-Stop Action. A High-Powered Detective Novel. Nothing To Dislike Here. I Use It For A Really Good Read.

In the eleventh blue hardback Hardy Boys novel, Frank and Joe encounter a mystery involving a secret room with a time lock. The mystery is how someone is managing to place death threats within the locked room. To complicate the mystery, the boys keep running afoul of a group of harbor thieves who are stealing high priced articles and evading capture.Once again, the boys are given their case because their father is out of town and unable to be contacted. They immediately set out to inspect the house where the secret room is and keep running into bad guys on the premises. I think it took them an awfully long time to come to the conclusion that the bad guys were always at the old house because they were using it (it had until recently been totally abandoned) but I suppose the book would have been much shorter if they had figured that out immediately.The first of two nice surprises in the book was the return of Herb Applegate from the first Hardy Boys Adventure. He has had an expensive collection of jade pieces stolen from him and once again he turns to the Hardy Boys to help him recover it. Herb was a difficult man in his first appearance, but the loss of his jade has nearly broken him and has him begging for the Hardys’ help as if they were guardian angels. The second nice surprise was Hardy chum, Chet Morton, who gets a pretty big role in the novel and acts impressively at a pivotal moment in the story.The blue hardback has a beautiful cover, but unfortunately, it gives away an important secret of the novel.Overall, this was one of the better Hardy Boys adventures.

I don't know how Franklin W. Dixon does it, but you just have to finish a Hardy Boys book no matter what. They are brilliantly written and there is absolutely no way anybody can stop in the middle and wait to finish the rest the next day. Every book in the Hardy Boys series follows that criteria. No better books in the market than the Hardy Boys series. Three cheers for Hardy Boys!!!

My 10yr old daughter loves the Hardy boys and I did too when I was young. These are new hardback books that she gets lost in. The only issue I have is that she reads them too fast. I'm going to go broke buying her the whole set

One of the best Hardy Boys mysteries. This is the second time I've read it as an adult. As a youngster, I loved it.

I read these avidly when I was young, along with The Three Investigators and the Adventures series by Willard Price, sure they're really dated now (and occasionally quite non-PC) but I love them

Many of the pages heavily soiled

More good stuff from the hardy boys.

good

An amazing suspense thriller that jabs you constantly for attention until you finish it off. Spectacularly detailed moves bring the boys to life and you feel the sensation of unsolved mystery tingling your spine.This is a must book for a collector. It takes you through a complete journey of sleuthing! Enjoy Detecting...
