The Hardy Brothers head away from home again to help investigate something fairly forgettable at a ski resort film set. Meanwhile they get involved in a class war between the locals and the rich landowners, without acknowledging it as such.

What’s most notable about this book is that it’s the first time Chet seems actively upset about his friends’ bullying and body shaming. This doesn’t get picked up by the otherwise perfect-in-every-way main characters, and Chet continues to be referred to as alternatively fat and chubby throughout.

As plots go, this one is fairly bland.
