The Hardy Boys Books : The Mark on the Door (Hardy Boys, Book 13) Reviews
| 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful  An Entertaining Adventure, By A Customer This review is from: The Mark on the Door (Hardy Boys, Book 13) (Paperback) This review concerns the original 1934 edition. The search for a missing witness leads Frank, Joe and Mr. Hardy to Mexico. I'd more accurately give the book 3.5 stars. The book; although not quite as well written as earlier volumes, was loaded with action and adventure. Chapters 15-23 were very good; however the final two chapters were a major letdown, as the mystery was resolved much too soon. One thing that I did not like about the book was that after the first few of chapters, none of the Hardy's friends were included in the mystery. But still, it was a good book; definately worth reading. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful  A Mexican Adventure With The Hardy Boys, By HardyBoys.us (Long Island USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: The Mark on the Door (Hardy Boys, Book 13) (Hardcover) This review refers to the original 1934 version written by Leslie McFarlane.The Hardy Boys, Frank and Joe, along with their dad, Fenton, travel to Mexico to locate a missing witness in oil stock swindle.

All the threads come together as the Boys and their father are captured by the murderous Vincenzo and his band of cut-throats. There's plenty of action and adventure here as the Hardy Boys battle their way free and solve the case! 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful Danger South of the Border, By This review is from: The Mark on the Door (Hardy Boys #13) (Hardcover) Frank and Joe are out in their motor boat when they have a run in with a man in another boat driving recklessly. Searching for him again, they find the boat abandoned and spot what looks like a submarine. Meanwhile, there father has started a new case. A bookkeeper, the star witness in a stock [problem] case, has disappeared, and Mr. Hardy must find him. Soon, the trails lead the Hardys down to Mexico, where they must use all their skills to track the men into the wilderness. But what will they find when they get there?I always wanted to read this book as a kid (something about the name attracted me), but never got around to it. Finally reading it as an adult, I enjoyed being back in the Hardys' presence. Frank and Joe are still able to entertain, although I must admit they couldn't quite mystify as much as they did when I was a kid. Still, their fans will love this adventure with plenty of danger, excitement, and close calls. Not to mention a wonderful escape scene near... Read more |
