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 isnโ€™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, itโ€™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.

Another good Harry Hole story
I'd be lying if I said this was the best Harry Hole book I've read. It's not even as good as the last Hole book I read,The Devil's Star, which is the book immediately preceding this one. However there's something about the Harry Hole series that you can't help but enjoy.

Hole himself is your typical tortured detective who sits on the borderline of breaking the law but for his own moral reasons. He reminds me a lot of Luther in a way. The story in this is interesting and has a lot of twists and turns, although it does come across as slightly convoluted at times. I do like Nesbo's writing style and how despite featuring chapters from what you think are the killer or offender, he seems very adept at changing your perceptions completely. Whilst I enjoyed this book, there was something about it that dragged and felt a bit off, which is why it isnt as highly marked as it's predecessor.

Really enjoyed this book! Loved the combination of Druids and Gypsies not something I have come across much! Characters are brilliant all really easy to get along with!
I have already found myself halfway through book 2 without noticing ๐Ÿ˜
