I'm normally a big fan of this series, but this book just didn't work for me. A lot of the draw of this series if the investigator's super col base, which we hardly get to see. I don't like the whole fictional rustic European country thing that they have going on here. I also would have liked to see a lot more interactions with the prince as they were sparse and didn't really give you a good feel for their relationship.
Finally, the boys did next to nothing in this story. All of the action has been taken out of their hands by local rebels, and the u.s. government.

Total abstruser Inhalt, sowohl im Original mit dem ausgedachten europäischen Königsstaat in dem
Noch in einer Folterkammer gefoltert wird, Als auch die deutsche Version in einer schwedischen Stadt in Texas. Ich kann den Kniff wirklich, gerade für europäische Leser, verstehen, Aber dadurch ergeben sicher dann wieder plotholes und Logikfehler.
Und trotzdem mochte ich das Buch. Einmal weil es einigermaßen spannend ist aber vor allem Aus Nostalgie. Ich hab als Kunde hol keine Folge öfter gehört und das obwohl (oder weil ?) ich einige nie so richtig verstanden habe- im Nachhinein auch nicht verwunderlich. Für mich ist und bleibt es DER Bob Ohnmacht Fall und der, in dem er so schön schreit (im Buch natürlich nur im Kopf zu hören ).

This could have easily been titled: The Three Investigators European Adventure. Other than the exotic location, a more forgettable entry with a rather anticlimactic resolution.

it's a kids' book and you can tell, but has a cute twist and overall not bad!

The boys are off to Europe to go undercover. It's as ridiculous as you might expect.
Lame plot about Jupe, Bob, and Pete who inexplicably make friends with a young Prince in a near-miss fender bender. They bond immediately and are invited to the coronation festivities, compliments of our dues ex machina, Mr. Hitchcock. Lots of silliness, climbing up and down the sides of buildings, hiding out, and silver spiders. Throw in a dose of 1970's amnesia as a plot device and you've got a hot mess of a stew going, baby.
I usually love these books but this one misses the mark for me. I'll continue reading through the series so you don't have to. Only 2 stars but I still love you, boys.
