Footprints Under the Window (Hardy Boys, Book 12)

Always enjoy the Hardy boys books and this was know exception. I am 66 and am enjoying them all over again. Many I never read when I was a teenager, and found I still enjoy them even though I am older. As long as the story is good it doesn't matter to me.

This story has been updated to include modern technology that didn't exist when the story was first written. The new material wells integrated and is seamless. The Hardy Boys demonstrate their resourcefulness in this enjoyable tale.

'Footprints' is my favourite Hardy Boys book, and is one of the very best Leslie McFarlane wrote. The story is more complex than usual, since the villain, Orrin North, initially seems to be more sinned against than sinning: he approaches the great investigator Fenton Hardy for help; but in the mysterious absence of their father Frank and Joe gradually discover what they are up against. Whose are the footprints under the window? The question is delightfully posed, and answered, on the last page - a perfect ending to a splendid mystery story. J Clemens Gretta, whose orange end-papers graced all the original Hardy Boys stories, here does the dust-jacket illustration as well. What a superb artist he is!

Liked that they were hard back almost vintage looking. Bought them for gift for grandson and he was very excited

I really enjoy the Hardy Boys series, and Footprints Under the Window is another homerun. The story takes you beyond the shores of the United States. Frank and Joe get involved in chilling events that nearly spell their doom. I highly recommend this mystery and adventure.

Great book arrived on time

Where is Fenten Hardy, who are the men with the machetes and who is behind it all? Just a few of the questions that the Hardy Boys are asked.This is a riveting mystery.
