I read a lot of The Three Investigator books when I grew up, and really loved them. Now I have been re-reading a few of them for the nostalgia value. This one has several good ingredients: a scary mystery (a whispering mummy!), mysterious "accidents" and some good "chases". However, it does not have enough of Jupiter solving problems, and the central mystery has a rather disappointing explanation.

Jupe figures it out, but not like he expected. I figured it out from the jump. Jupe - 0, me - 1.

We have a mysterious mummy that whispers, but only at the professor. Suspicious, no? Then crazy Jupiter disguises himself as the professor (what?) and the mummy whispers to him, too. And we have a crazy side plot about a missing cat that, of course, ties right into the story. The boys escape danger several times and if Aunt Matilda knew what they were up to they would never leave the salvage yard again.

You get a happy ending with a few loose ends tied up by Mr. Hitchcock. Classic Three Investigators - 3 stars.
