Wreck and Roll: 185

By Franklin W. Dixon

WITH THIS BAND, MUSIC AND MAYHEM GO HAND IN HAND. Vette Smash, one of the hottest new rock bands in Bayport, is playing a gig -- and thanks to their friend Phil's backstage passes, Frank and Joe are in the center of the action But within minutes of meeting the band members, the stage lights short-circuit and a threatening message is left on the band's answering machine. Soon it's clear that someone is trying to crash Vette Smash. Frank and Joe start hunting down suspects. Is it Vette Smash's rival band, Green Machine? Could it be the jealous agents competing for the band's attention? Or is a member of Vette Smash behind the mess? One thing's certain: Time's running out. The band's threatening to break up. Can the Hardys root out the culprit before the final number?

Another Great Read!

Another great entry in the Hardy Boys canon. I really loved the cover art for this one! This was another good story, full of twists and turns and lots of suspects. If you pay close enough attention you could figure out who the culprit is(I didn't though!) Anyway I don't want to give anything away. Good characterization and realistic dialogue and action. It was also nice to catch up with another character from the old books, Phil Cohen, who is dating a member of a local rock band. It seems someone is making trouble for her band, sabotaging equipment and doing other nasty stuff. All in all, a great mystery, I highly recommend it for Hardy Boys fans.
