Halloween Horror

Halloween has now become very real. Not in costumes but horror and murder. Joe's new friend Vanessa is killed just as Iola Morton was and the dead have come to haunt Bayport! When Vanessa's boat blows up with Vanessa in it the horror begins. After experiencing Iola's murder, Joe can't believe when she comes back to get him. Seeing the death of his girlfriend and his mother, Joe is the target for death in this book. Going to the cemetary where Iola is remembered, Joe sees all his worst nightmares come true! All the criminals he has fought are back from the dead. If you are into action, this is the book for you!

GREAT BOOK!!

I thought it was a great book. I started reading it last night and finished it this morning. I liked all of it. I think that all readers of all ages would like it alot. The book has alot of sadness and mystery/suspense. I started reading Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy books 2 year ago and I still love them. My recommendation is to make more Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy Super Mysterys and to put one (or more) in Bayport. Keep on writing Ms. Keene and Mr. Dixon!

On Halloween the dead walk free-the living pay the price!

This book was a very good book. It was very sad when Vanessa died and Joe was sitting in the van crying, but trying not to show Frank. It was really sad though, when he was the only one that saw his mother, dead. But I think that the most tearful part was when Iola came and joe just fell to his knees and tears just started to run down his face. I felt really sorry for him.

Franklin W. Dixon at his best!!!!

I always enjoyed collecting Hardy Boys novels and this one is my absolute favourite! Whenever I finish a chapter on a Hardy Boys book I usually put it down and wait for another time to read the next chapter when I'm in the mood, but I just wanted to keep reading this one! Joe gets haunted by spirits of a recent death from a girl and another haunting from his old girlfriend Iola Morton(who died from a bombing in the first Casefiles novel). This is full of suspense with plenty of unsolved mysteries! A definite book for Hardy Boys readers!

One of those non-stop, edge of your seat, kinda books

I read this book not very long ago, and I have to say it was one of those non-stop, edge of your seat, kinda books. It was origional, emotional, spine tingling and pretty much incredible! The brothers are really put to the test this time. Joe suffers through the death of the girl he loves once again when a bomb blows up Vanessa's boat - with her on it. The harsh reality of what Joe has and is going through hit's Frank when Callie is killed also. The surprising turn of events in this novel are astounding, and it's one book I HAVE to read again. I recomend it to anyone, Hardy Boy fan or not
