Sometimes you read a few lines of the reviews on Goodreads before you read the book and it taints your experience. This kind of happened here. The number one review of this book says it's the worst of the series.
I will agree it's the worst so far. The set-up is more out of a Hardy Boys novel and the too-large cast of characters makes the read confusing.
"Don and Timmy Hardy get caught in a chain of deceit when an old newspaper man tries to swindle them out of dough. Thrill as they dodge a skidoo on a cabin lake! Will the old curmudgeon get his way, or will his plot be foiled once again by those rotten kids? Tune in to find out!"

The new MLR Press editions, at least the ebook versions, have a disappointing number of typographical problems, both minor and major.

An intricate plot involving a very dysfunctional family. Timmy getting hurt and Donald following one strange leads after another. Not the strongest book of the series but still very enjoyable if only for the banter between Timmy and Dale.
