If you crave the nostalgia of classic detective tales, "The Hidden Harbor Mystery" will take you back to a simpler time of sleuthing. As the Hardy Boys unravel the twists of a Southern feud, you'll be immersed in the charm of 1930s America and the sharp-minded Hardy Boys at their best. It's a delightful throwback for the young at heart.
