A review by sonofthunder
The Shore Road Mystery by Franklin W. Dixon, Walter S. Rogers

3.0

I'm not sure how long this has been on my shelf, but it's been a while. I picked this up at some point in the past few years, fondly remembering this as one of my favourite Hardy Boys books when I was young. Finally recently felt in the mood for a light read and picked this up. Definitely kind of strange reading this after a removal of so many years! And frankly, confess that I remembered almost none of it and was surprised that it really didn't feel all that familiar to me! I did remember one key plot point and eagerly awaited for it to come, but my other memories of this book had faded through the years. Was it a good book? Well, yes? But fairly simplistic and not super engrossing. If it hadn't been for the nostalgia factor, don't think I would have enjoyed reading this one. As it is, I'm glad I read it again, but probably not going to seek out any more Hardy Boys anytime soon. The best part about this book was the old-fashioned vibe and reading of a time that seems now like it was so long ago...
