Certainly, it’s not as sensational as the other stories and sticks resolutely close to home (coming off of the Varania trip), but it’s a solid mystery, showing the boys detecting skills perfectly, though the story itself relies quite heavily on chance. moreĢ009 review - I had it in my head that this and “Talking Skull” are the weakest Arthur books but, upon re-reading this as an adult, I don’t think that’s the case. The series still has some surprises left, and I look forward to future volumes!. (One threatens them with a blowtorch for example.) We also see the return of a familiar villain, which was a pleasant surprise. Also, the villains are amped up a bit, just a little more dangerous than before. We do have another teenage boy introduced, but this time hes from Cali just like the other boys, so no exotic cultures this time. This puzzles the boys, and it goes on from there. Rather than an alarm sounding, this clock screams. However, about halfway through it picked up and turned into one of the better Three Investigator novels.Ī "screaming clock" is brought into the junkyard. It started out really slow, and very formulaic.
