Publisher's summary

Brother detectives Frank and Joe go full-steam ahead to find the truth in the 23rd book in the thrilling Hardy Boys Adventures series.

The Hardys and some of their friends hop aboard an old train that’s been restored and turned into a murder mystery experience. A cast of actors will perform an immersive theatrical production while passengers dine in style, assume roles in the game, and ultimately try their hand at solving the case. This should be a cakewalk for Joe and Frank!

The production is a mess. The actors are lousy, fumbling their lines and spelling out obvious clues. At least the food is pretty good. But just as the Hardy Boys are trying to make the most of a disappointing situation, one of the cast members goes missing. At first, the audience thinks that the show is taking a turn for the better, but it quickly becomes clear that this is not part of the act. For the Hardys, the mystery has gone from good fun to deadly serious. And trapped on a train full of people who aren’t who they say they are, everyone is a suspect.

Will Frank and Joe be able to figure out how someone can vanish into thin air on a moving train before this case goes completely off the rails?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Pretty good

Not as hooking as the other books but a good idea. I like the mystery of it all.

Hardy Boys Mystery on the Mayhem is Fantastic!

My entire family really enjoyed listening to this book during our car ride during the Fourth of July! It was very enjoyable to listen to the narration. The plot is cute, easy to understand, and relevant to 2021! Clean, wholesome entertainment with a modern flair to keep the kids interested. I give this book 5 big stars!

It was horrible me and my family listened to this book and I am disgusted how they bring adult topics and same gender couples in this book.

Not the same

Same gender couple, nothing like OG Hardy boys that really hook you with an interesting story and characters.

Same Sex Couples

We were very disappointed with this book! Why do we need to bring same sex couples into a children's mystery story. I will be more cautious before I purchase more Audible Hardy Boys stories.

References and Includes Same Sex couples

Parents, be careful about just downloading these for your kids. They are not the original hardy boys and should be carefully screened. I know the day we live in puts a lot in front of our kids but even with the parental controls in place these "kids" books provide way too much content.
