About this audiobook
Brother detectives Frank and Joe go full-steam ahead to find the truth in the twenty-third book in the thrilling Hardy Boys Adventures series.
The Hardys and some of their friends hop aboard an old train that’s been restored and turned into a murder mystery experience. A cast of actors will perform an immersive theatrical production while passengers dine in style, assume roles in the game, and ultimately try their hand at solving the case. This should be a cakewalk for Joe and Frank!
The production is a mess. The actors are lousy, fumbling their lines and spelling out obvious clues. At least the food is pretty good. But just as the Hardy Boys are trying to make the most of a disappointing situation, one of the cast members goes missing. At first, the audience thinks that the show is taking a turn for the better, but it quickly becomes clear that this is not part of the act. For the Hardys, the mystery has gone from good fun to deadly serious. And trapped on a train full of people who aren’t who they say they are, everyone is a suspect.
Will Frank and Joe be able to figure out how someone can vanish into thin air on a moving train before this case goes completely off the rails?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It is so well writing. Love it. You should read this.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Woke. (Uggh)
Such a wholesome and timeless series goes off the rails in this book. Multiple references to guys and their boyfriends’. Needless to the storyline - just an attempt to ruin by interjecting someone’s social commentary. So sad. I hope this is not the trend moving forward in this series.
Franklin W Dixion’s - please don’t politicize a classic that was been going for almost 100 years. Just stick with great fun and story telling without an agenda from any side.
A HB fan for 50+ years. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Good to BAD. It got derailed kinda fast. I like the hardy boys but this one is just... I don,t no what to say.?.
