SuperMystery combine Nancy's unique brand of sleuthing with the Hardys' allaction approacha dynamic combination that has fueled the series' rise to more than three and onehalf million copies in print.
" There's not much Frank/Nancy to speak of, outside of the almost obligatory we have a connection stuff, but the mystery in this one was SO much more readable than the last entry in this series and there was at least a lot of overlap.
I can't remember if I read this one back in the dayI know I had at least one with this style of cover, but I'll be darned if I can remember which and nothing about it pinged my memory.

It's been forever since I last picked up a Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew super mystery, and I'm glad I finally did after it's been sitting on my shelf for so long, unread.
This is my first time reading the old version of the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew super mystery, I'm used to the updated versions such as the Girl Detective and the Undercover Brothers super mystery,
Okay, so where do I begin, . .
Nancy was in Saratoga meeting up with a friend while the Hardys were assigned to protect a foal for the auction.
Then the fiance of the friend goes missing and Nancy's on the case, and then that murder that took place at the party.
. .
The mystery was interesting with a lot of twists, You feel suspicious on one person, then think "Oh no that person is innocent" then you feel suspicious on the next, I really enjoyed it but there were only a few things that bothered me,
Overall, I really liked it and would recommend it to Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew fans and for those who are horse crazy.
