Quote from: MysteryFan89 on October 16, 2024, 11:44:41 AMCabin Island, what about it?Page 101 has the Hardy's finding a notebook with a date of "October, 1917" and then Frank immediately saying that was "eleven years ago" and dating the theft to sometime in 1913, which was 15 years before the setting of the book in December 1928 (the book finishes on the afternoon of December 31, 1928). Because of this, "The Shore Road Mystery" (1928) is also dated to sometime prior to December 1928.
Quote from: tomswift2002 on October 15, 2024, 05:42:19 PMYes. So the book was outdated very quickly. That's why "Strategic Moves" and "Castle Fear" are products of that 2 year period and can only take place then (I don't recall a mention of East Germany specifically, just the wall coming down). They are like the original 1929 "The Mystery of Cabin Island".Cabin Island, what about it?
