More About the Author

Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon are the pseudonyms under which many ghostwriters penned the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series, respectively. Both series were created by Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate book packaging firm, in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Stratemeyer's daughter, Harriet, and syndicate writer Mildred Wirt Benson were the two people primarily responsible for bringing the iconic character of Nancy Drew to life in the minds and hearts of millions of readers around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Double Crossing on the S.S Duchess, October 20, 2002

By 

Stacey Love (Chester, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Double Crossing (Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Super Mystery #1) (Hardcover)

Double Crossing is a great book! I'd recommend this to whoever loves mystery. This book is mainly about Nancy Drew who is on vacation on the S.S Duchess and meets her friend George aboard the ship. She bumps into Frank Hardy (or the so called photographer of the ship) and Joe Hardy (the so called waiter who works in the kitchen of the ship). They are both under cover because Captain Helgesan (I think that's what his name was) found out that there was a thief on the ship and so he hired them to track the thief down. Meanwhile... Nancy overhears a couple of people talking about CIA agents and so forth.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Double Crossing (Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Super Mystery #1) (Paperback)

When my mum told that there was a Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series where they actually were in the same book, I was really excited! I was so desperate just to get hold of a tiny snipit of atleast one of these supermysteries! I managed to get hold of a load of the first chapters. AND IN PRACTICALLY EVERYONE i read where Nancy and the boys meet at the beginning is a small paragraph near the top on how Nancy can't be with Frank (even though it is obvious to us fans that they are MADE for each other!!!!!!!)because she has Ned and Frank has Callie. This is pure torture to people who desperately want these to young people to be together!!!!!!!!! Anyway I read this book and it was great as usual!!! Another fantastic book from a fantastic author! I totally recommend it to anyone who has good taste in books!Also if you like the Nancy and Frank side of the book read 'The Last Resort' where they get trapped in a cabin and 'Screts of the Nile' which is the best book ever and nancy and Frank kiss! PLEASE ms Keene can you write atleast one last book where nancy and Frank get together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Double Crossing well I love any Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Supermystery well for that matter I love any Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys mysterys period ,Anyway in Double Crossing Nan is all set to get aboard a cruise ship for a little fun in the sun vacation,but as she gets aboard she runs into Frank Hardy undercover as the S.S.Duchess's photographer,and finds out that he and Joe are working undercover,Oh and Joe's working as 1 of the kitchen's busboys,but when Nan overhears a plan to sell CIA secrets to another country, her vacation turns into a high-risk hunt for a deadly secret agent,but when murder comes aboard the slueths find they're in the same boat- facing death on all sides. there is some romantic parts with Nan and Frank but nothing big,I wish there was some more romance between them though ,thats always my favorite parts in the book.
