What are your thoughts on this installment? I got about 50 pages left and so far I am like "huh". Not as good as #6 but OK I guess.

I thought it was great! But then- I think they're all great!

Just finished. It was ok I guess, but I don't get why they called it "See no Evil". Nobody was blind. Maybe it was because they couldn't see that Lisa was a traitor?

I think the title was referring to how the City Hall officials were turning a "blind eye" to the corruption going on in the City government.

But this is only Part 1 of a 3-Part story.

But I think "See No Evil" is way better than "Countdown To Terror". SNE is #16 on my list, while CTT is at #33.

Really? Countdown to Terror I remember even more and I remember it as a favourite as a kid. But it's been a long while since I've read any Hardy Boys book actually.

Part 1 of 3? What are the other two??

I just re-read the OP's first post, and he meant "The Crowning Terror". But either way, "The Crowning Terror" is only #100 on my list.

As for "See No Evil", it is #1 in the Bayport Corruption storyline. https://hardyboys.fandom.com/wiki/Bayport_Corruption_Storyline

I liked See No Evil, but I think I liked Line of Fire better. I've never read Beyond the Law, but I do remember it being in the Meadowview Public School library in Navan, Ontario when I was in grade 3, they tore the school down the following year.

Beyond the Law is awesome!!! I've read it many times- this is definitely a favourite.

(It's also one I got taken away from me for a year by a teacher when I got busted reading it in class as a kid.

I was very glad to finally get it back at the end of the year.)

Lol, I used to get caught reading in class as well, a least mine were always school library books though. Then I came to college in 2013 and everybody was on their phones during class
