Pete Koslow, an ex-convict finds himself working for the FBI as an informer who has infiltrated a large Polish drug smuggling ring. When a delivery goes bad Pete finds that both the FBI and the Polish gang want him to go back to prison to do one last job.
I have to admit, I didn't really know what to expect from this film, I’d seen the trailer once but that was all, but I was bored and it was the only film I could get to on time so I’m happy to say that I really enjoyed this. The film runs at quite a fast pace with building tensions and emotional family scenes. The plot isn't overly complicated but is interesting enough to keep you entertained. The Informer also doesn't rely on lots of blood and gore. The only real downside was, due to the pacing, it's some times hard to keep track of how long something g has taken, for example I found it hard to tell how long the events in prison had taken.

It's taken me almost two weeks to read this, which could be down to one or two reasons: One, this is a hardback, and a thick bulky one at that, or Two, I wasn't ready to let this series go after reading books 5-13 back to back.

Either way, I kind of lost interest in the middle of this book somehow, and struggled to get back into it for quite a while. That being said, I was interested in how Rachel and the gang were going to save the world, or Cincinnati, at least.

That last chapter confused me a little, with it just being Chapter 31, think it should have been Epilogue or something because Ray calling Rachel Mom? I was like "huh?" and it took a little time to be explained but that was a nice touch. Especially the last page or two with the news of possible heirs. SQUEEE!!! I'd be super happy for Trent and Rachel if they did manage to have a bubba :D

Nighttime Crime

Frank and Joe Hardy are shocked when they get the new request from their father, famed detective Fenton Hardy. He wants them to break into a house and steal something. Of course, it is to keep an invention for his client safe. However, doing that puts the boys on the radar of a gang of smugglers. Will they be able to protect the invention and round up the smugglers?

I remember as a kid the title really intriguing me. Yes, several scenes take place at midnight, but the title isn’t as relevant to the story as it might be. That hardly matters since the story is so action packed that it is hard to put it down. Coincidence rules quite a bit, and the characters are thin. Elements are also very dated today. So in other words, it’s a typical Hardy Boys book. Still, I take that into account when I pick up one of these books, and I enjoy the nostalgia I get from revisiting these old friends.
