This review is from: The Mystery of the Singing Serpent : Alfred Hitchock & The Three Investigators #17 (Paperback)

I read these books to my 10 year old son and he absolutely loves them. The characters are great and all the books have the right blend of "spooky" happenings and suspense. Lots of creeping around at night. This one has a secret society with mysterious rituals. Fun all around for the mystery lover!

I love how the series is set in the Los Angeles area in its Hitchock heydey. All the place and street names add a nostalgic mood. Plus as you read the series, you get to know and love the characters of the three investigators, Jupiter Jones, Pete Crenshaw and Bob Andrews along with all the characters at the Jones Salvage yard - Aunt Mathilda, the Bavarian brothers Hans and Konrad.

This review is from: The Mystery of the Singing Serpent (The Three Investigators Mystery Series, 17) (Paperback)

This is one of the best books in the series not written by the original author, Arthur, at least from the books I've read (1-17), for moments there it seemed a genuine Arthur original. There are some spooky moments and also action, and the plot revolves around a secret cult. Also there's a girl in the story as a main character which is the first time it happens in the series so far, if I remember correctly.
