In their 23rd adventure, the Three Investigators are hired to look into the theft of a small statue, but very quickly get drawn into a bigger and spookier set of mysteries.
I liked that there was a lot going on, and it needs real investigation work. However it must be a sign of the changing times (this is 1975 and the series is now 11 years in) that the teenage protagonists now have guns drawn on them by police several times, which didn’t feel right to me.
The paranormal elements of the plot are more prevalent than in others, and felt presented quite differently to before, which again I’m not sure felt right for my perception of the series.
The mystery is a good one, and it was only as the climax approached that I remembered from when I read as a child what was about to happen. Otherwise the plot has entirely left my brain, so it was fun to revisit.
