Ich glaube am besten hat mir gefallen, dass Justus erkältet ist und sich ärgert, an den meisten Spaßigen Sachen nicht teilnehmen zu können. Interessant fand ich auch noch, wie unsympathisch Peters Vater dargestellt wird, auch wenn das wahrscheinlich einfach unter klassische elterliche Strenge fallen sollte. Oh, und natürlich die ganzen vielen viel zu altmodischen Ausdrücke die sich durch die ganzen alten Bücher ziehen.
Den Fall selbst fand ich nicht so spannend, er hat mich irgendwie nicht so richtig mitgenommen. Natürlich kannte ich ihn ja schon durchs Hörspiel aber auch so ist einem eben die ganze Zeit klar, dass der griechische Junge, den alle außer den drei Detektiven verdächtigen, nicht der Schuldige sein kann.

this is my childhood in one book.
anyways, this book is the perfect one if you are looking for a mystery for children, perfect being the keyword.

Jupe, Pete, and Bob are on their way to a movie set to catch a ghost and search for treasure. Oh, and do a little scuba diving, too. Why can't I be one of the Three Investigators?
Pete's dad is connected. I think that's how they met Alfred Hitchcock, right? Anyway, these boys have a pretty decent life regardless. They are headed from sunny California to the East Coast to play in the Atlantic, the land of the pirates. Gar! Throw in some period-appropriate racism, an armored car heist, and some general villainy, and you've got yourselves a mystery, folks.
The mystery is a little loose, as usual, but I enjoyed it. Someday I will finish reviewing all of these books so you don't have to. 3 stars.
