Customer Reviews

Standard Hardy Boys action.

a threat and a disappearance take Frank and Joe to England. This is a good book for kids, it has plenty of action.

A perfect medevial setting.

This is probably my favorite book by Franklin Dixon. The book is a complete hoot, except for the lack of murders. That would have kept you up the whole night until you finish Castle Fear, which takes place in London. Jillian Seabright disappears and along with her perhaps, maybe?, the emeralds belonging to heiress Emily Cornwall, who has also disappeared. I'm not telling why, that you'll have to find out yourself. Jed Shannon has got Frank and Joe looking for Jill when he also disappear. Searching for answers, Joe gets involved with an American reporter. That's as much as I'm going to tell you so read the book yourself.

Up to par

While this book may not have been up to the caliber of some ofthe other books, it is still a very worthwhile read. The part inside the castle is best. The only way this could have been better really is if a murder had taken place. Oh well.
