Frank and Joe are hired by a wealthy businessman to find his missing adult son. A clue leads Frank and Joe to Brazil where their lives are threatened on numerous occasions by a gang determined to prevent the Hardys from finding the missing man. This is a very good book, it is filled with excitement, action and suspence from the first page to the last. I'd recommend this book to any fan of the series and am confident that no one would be disappointed with this book.

This book is one of my favorites!I finished it in only two days!My favorite part was when Frank was stuck in the voodoo dance.This is a must for Hardy Boys fans.

This is the best book ever. In this story Joe and Frank go to Brazil to find a missing person. There are 6 people trying to kill Joe and Frank to stop them from finding the person. It's worth every penny I promise!

For some reason of all the pathetic cover arts drawn after The Secret Agent on Flight 101, this one does not bother me. The Monkey is bulleted in the dead center of the cover and captures the eye. The story was action packed and keeps the reader's interest. The brothers are hired by a local man to solve a case for them which takes them to Brazil where they encounter many adventures. Lots of action - but little suspense I found, coupled with a moderate amount of mystery. The book is worth reading but ranks among the set's inferiors. RATED C

A review by my 8-year-old son:

In The Masked Monkey Mystery, by Franklin W. Dixon, we find the Hardys trying to find a rich man's son who disappeared. While on the case they are almost eaten by a man-eating fish and much more. They go from around their hometown to South America. In South America, they come face to face with a killer of a monkey. The Masked Monkey is a true excitement tale!

I think that this book was awesome. Really I read this book in two days because on the first day I read to chapter nine and a few days later, when I noticed that I was behind, I read from chapter nine to chapter twenty. That is how good of a book it is, I could barley put the book down. If you want mystery, intrigue, and international excitement, read "The Masked Monkey". The story is action packed and keeps the reader's interest. The theme of the book is to not get use to trusting people until you have learned a lot about them. I reccomand this book to, mostly boys, people who like excitement and mystery books; and to people of all ages. It is a great great great book!
