Description

Jupiter, Pete and Bob are asked to retrieve the missing possessions of a dead artist. It seems like a simple assignment, but the Three Investigators are soon propelled into a mysterious adventure.

Reviewed on 29th July 2023

This classic 3 Investigators mystery sees the friends clearing out the possessions of a deceased artist, then hired to track them back down.

It’s incredibly readable for a kids book from the early 1970s, and the mystery really holds up. It certainly feels like a lot more effort went into crafting this series than into Hardy Boys adventures.

It’s full of the quirky elements that make this series fun, a bunch of the series regular elements, and some proper puzzles which you can try to solve along with the team.

A solid entry and one that really represents the series well.
