About book The Hooded Hawk Mystery (1955)

I used to be a fan of the Hardy Boys, though I've only read a couple of books from the series. This might be my third or fourth one. Though the plot points seem logical, I can't help but think outside a PG-13 setting were criminals are more ruthless and cold-blooded than normally depicted in the series. The boys occasionally get kidnapped and LIVE because all these men can do is tie them up and gag them. Why can't they plant a bullet in their heads and get it over with? I also cringe at the fact that these criminals easily let these boys shove them around, beat them up, and give in easily to questioning. For top international smugglers, that really doesn't sit well with me.

The classic boy detectives by Frank Dixon--I read ALL of them in my younger years, one I ran out of Nancy Drew books. The Hardy Boys are brother amateur detectives, aspiring to follow in their famous father's footsteps.The two boys live in the fictional city of Bayport (on Barmet Bay) with their famous father, Fenton Hardy, a private detective formerly with the New York Police Department, their mother Laura Hardy (erroneously called Mildred in The Flying Express), and their Aunt Gertrude, a character often used for comic relief.
