Thriller Diller (The 3 Investigators Crimebusters #6)
Grade 5-7-- Pete Crenshaw has assisted his friends Jupiter Jones and Bob Andrews on so many cases as a junior detective that he's sure he can single-handedly solve the mystery of Diller Rourke, a horror-film star who fails to report to : the set of his latest picture. When the film's producer finally receives a ransom note, Pete welcomes his friends' involvement. As in previous "Three Investigators" mysteries, this case abounds with suspicious characters, red-herring clues, dangerous situations, and cliff-hanger chapter endings. The routinely satisfying solution results in the bad guys being exposed, the detectives' skills being recognized, and the feeling that all is once again right in southern California. --Ann G.
