Jupiter Jones, Pete Crenshaw, and Bob Andrews fly to Skeleton Island at Alfred Hitchcock's request to help Pete's father with a motion picture and secretly find out why their equipment is being sabotaged. No more do they step off the plane than they encounter trouble. The Three Investigators are stranded on an island in a storm, a phantom rides on the carousel of the abandoned amusement park, and gold doubloons on the bottom of the sea bed hint at lost pirate treasure never found by the superstitious fishing village. Can Jupiter battle a cold and still deduce who is causing trouble in time to save the show? Can The Three Investigators find the real Secret of Skeleton Island before it's too late? Find out in this installment of The Three Investigators!

Review of 'The Secret of Skeleton Island' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

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.
