This story is absolutely fabulous! Vacation with mystery the way Nancy and Bess always experienced, adult responsibilities, mature themes as well as possible Francy romancewhat more can I ask for in a story? How about a sequel?

Fantastic story and thanks for writing.

WOW what an awesome story! I think you had the characters down to a T... Especially Frank and his guilt and I loved the relationship between him and Nancy! I was totally not expecting such a great piece of fiction! I'd love to see you take this into another story! It was extremely well written and exciting/ thought provoking! Great job!

Wonderful story.

Great story. Wow, Bess and Joe have a strange relationship! I had no idea that Alexa was behind it all. Her grief over Terry's death destroyed her. I am glad however that Frank and Nancy are reunited.

hmm. having never read the aforementioned Super Mystery, I thought I'd be lost completely, but you did a good enough job weaving bits of backstory in.

with the exception of the open marriage bits( kinda trite and not really relevant to the plot and could have been dropped completely without the story suffering one iota) I think you captured the subtle nuances very well, especially Frank's guilt and grief and Joe's regret. and I do agree that Nancy is career driven and would make a lousy parent.

Good God, that was amazing! I clicked in just expecting an intro to a story and curious about the premise, and then got totally hooked in 2 seconds. I wish I remembered the plot for Islands of Intrigue, because I'm sure it would have made this whole thing that more poignant, but it stood on its own wonderfully. I LOVE your vision of the future for Nancy, Bess, Joe and Frank! Not really the conventional take- and not what I've generally imagined- but it all still felt true to the characters. And I'm now convinced that Bess needs to be a therapist of some kind! Anyway, beautifully imagined and written and I definitely hope to see more from you!

What a treat to find a complete story! Very well written. All of the characters seem so life like. Nice job with the characterizations. One thing I was wondering, why did you bring in the polyamorous relationships bit? Just thinking that it did not need to be there for the story to work. Y'have other stories int eh offing that need that set up?

BTW That's a hint that I'd love to read more:)

What a great, well-written story! Though Islands of Intrigue was never one of my favorite SMs, this follow-up to it is such a cool idea and you carried it off excellently. I loved the scenes with Frank and Nan; you wrote the chemistry between them, even after all those years, so well, and they were positively lovable. Bess and Joe's unconventional relationship was too funny, but sweet at the same time. The scene with Alexa, after Nancy and Joe were knocked out, was my favorite. You really managed to keep up the tension throughout, and the villain was so compelling because she was wronged... it's not often the reader sees the actions of the Hardy boys from a perspective like that.

I would definitely love to read more from you... perhaps a sequel, or maybe a follow-up story for one of the other Supermysteries? Again, really nice job.

Fantastic story! Loved it, and complete too!

Wow! I opened this up and startled to find an entire story in one chapter! I guess I better make this a long review then!
The writing was very excellent and easy to follow. I was a tad surprised to find that Nancy and Ned were married and divorced, but I could definitely see that happening! Also surprised to see Bess and Joe together! They made such a cute couple :) I also thought Frank's situation was sooo realistic! As well as Nancy's.
Wow that was such a plot twist! Totally not expecting that!
Overall, a very enjoyable story! It was fun to read through all at once! Thanks for sharing!
