I do think the teacher with a villain fiancee/friend has already been done in the Phantom Grasshopper though. I was reading this thinking that the fiancee wouldn't be the villain because they already did that, and presto! He turns out to be the bad guy after all!<br /><br />Schools have REALLY changed though! Even the husband of a teacher wouldn't be allowed to interact with the kids today without some MAJOR checking (and I mean fingerprinting, and other things that would definitely turn off a bad guy like Peter!<br /><br />I agree about them not telling how the play went. It's like Di is such a nobody character (in the author's mind) that the author felt we just wouldn't care how her moment of spotlight went! I said this before, if they don't want to use Di and Dan, why bother making them Bob-Whites in the first place?<br /><br />Such a shame you didn't do more of these reviews! I'm reading the Whispering Witch (#32), and it's my favourite one of the later third of the series so far!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08582845368766619225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887611976174504593.post-38571901381603541822016-05-17T03:56:27.871-05:002016-05-17T03:56:27.871-05:00I can understand about life throwing curve balls. ...I can understand about life throwing curve balls.

This one had me guessing-i actually thought as Brian did that Eric and Carl were the crooks. Never suspected the two sea merchants! No honour among thieves too since the big one popped the little one. Good to see action Jim again! That 15 year old is stronger than many of the adults! I'm disappointed that Dan was left out again! If they weren't going to use him, why didn't they just make him a one book character?

Actually, i like reading the books, and then your reviews (it's a shame you didn't write more)<br /><br />I did figure out that Miss Ryks and her nephew were the same person, but for some reason, i didn't associate him with the comic. I didn't think Dan was involved, but frankly with the way Dan and Di are sometimey Bob-Whites, i wouldn't have been surprised if he wasn't written out of the series.<br /><br />I also like that Jim and Brian can be action heroes of the group. Growing up, i read the "new" Bobbsey Twins mysteries from the 80s, and the earlier Wanderer Bobbsey Twins mystery series from the 80s (these were way more interesting than the original series that went from 1904-1979), and always wanted the older twins to be more action oriented. But then again, they were 12 and the older Bob-Whites are 16/17.<br /><br />I like the character of Hallie-she actually reminds me of the character of Allie from a couple of the Three Investigators series in that she is spunky and also kind of an honourary part of the team.<br /><br />I'm going to start the next book in the series "The Phantom Grasshopper", so please do a review of that next.

I am rereading the series at a ripe old 37 years old, and to be honest, as i have been rejected by many girls when i expressed a desire to date them, i HATE this book!

Eventually I owned the entire series (up to book 34, I think). But I agree with you...this is one of the better books in the series. I like #14 also (Mystery of the Emeralds) partly because it takes place in Virginia (Born there).
