ferrisscottr's review against another edition
4.0
I read 10 or so of this series when I was a kid and at a book sale a few years ago I was about to pick up another 10-15 of them (for nostalgia sake). When I'm between books, want something light, want something quick then I'll pick one up and give it a read.
This was better than average.
Kooky old rich guy dies - leaves a note with a riddle that will lead whoever is smart enough to the place where he buried all his money - enter The Three Investigators! Of course they teach us that three boy detectives are smarter than adults and have the coolest HQ/fort in the world. Makes me jealous of their childhood (many a day I wanted to be one of them when I was younger).
I've always been partial to Brains Benton but The Three Investigators hit the spot when the mood strikes.
