The Mystery of the Purple Pirate

These mystery stories had been my favourite during my school days and now I find that though the stories are meant for the young readers their simple style has an appeal that entertains readers of mysteries of all ages. Nostalgic memories seemed to cloud the mind as I went thru the exciting adventures and more than once it reminded me of the enjoyable reading moments during my younger days. The three investigators penned by several authors throughout the series and introduced by some famous men always had a storehouse for wonder for us. The mystery lovers who were not satisfied with adventures but longed for unabridged uncensored whodunits for the young used to find the same here.
This time the case, thirty third in the series, presented itself in the form of an odd advertisement and an even odder interview that followed. The respondents included Jupiter Jones, Peter Crenshaw and Robert Andrews. Smelling something fishy in the entire business the detectives right off started enquiry of their own. With gadgets developed by the leader of the trio what followed was yet another exciting turn of events that led to unmasking of villains no less than the infamous pirate whose legacy seemed to have reappeared.
