Blood Relations
Leslie McFarlane
- Reading
- You could read together and pause when the boys encounter new clues or make a risky choice. This gives your reader space to weigh their theories and reactions as the mystery unfolds.
- Themes
- A mystery built on conflicting clues: Greg and Mike suspect Walter, while he is presented as an upstanding citizen and a longtime friend of Fenton Hardy. The brothers investigate the conflicting picture. The contrast between Walter’s reputation and the boys’ suspicions makes testing appearances and weighing evidence part of the detective structure.
- Worth knowing
- The mystery involves suspected murder, a kidnapping and the Hardy brothers putting themselves in danger as bait. Consider whether these threats might feel tense for your reader.
