So I found this novel at a street library and though I had ready the likes of the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden, I could not recall reading Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators. I figured why not give it a go.
The book starts off with a bang 'The Clock Screamed. It was the scream of a woman in mortal terror."
From there the book is off and racing as our three investigators Jupiter, Pete and Bob try to figure why a clock has been set up to scream. As they try to figure out a bigger mystery comes to the fore. There is danger, there is puzzles, there is humour and there is a resolution.
It was a great short read, that was a nice distraction.

This was the first I read of many in this series of books, which I greatly enjoyed. Just thinking about the fictional world of Jupiter, Bob, and Pete takes me back to the bright expansiveness of youth.
