The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma by Trenton Lee Stewart
3.0
Love this series. Quirky, old fashioned fun.
One thing I missed in this third volume was the absence of an exotic location. The first one, they explore the house, and spend much time on the island. The second, they go on a cruise and end up on a very different island. I really can't figure out how the image of a bus on the cover came from the story. A bus appears, but primarily in a memory. So I missed a grand double decker bus road trip. But maybe I wouldn't have noticed that if I hadn't seen the cover. Great stories, reminds me of E. Nesbit tales. One of the few series I continue to read.
