The Mystery Series Collection (Books 1-3) by Paul Moxham
Three stories in this book
...
The Mystery of Smuggler's Cove by Paul Moxham
What I like about this book is that there is one brother and two sisters and they meet Will who knows a lot about the locale.
He shows them the caves and one day Joe goes by himself to investigate. Lucky the girls help rescue him later in the day..
When they go with Will another day they go far into the caves-reminds me a bit about game of thrones as they have caves and tunnels under the castles.
This one they learn is where men meet and bring boxes in and will go during night hours to bring the goods to the boats to sell to others.
Very scary that they are only kids. Almost like a Hardy Boys mystery so am enjoying it.
Reminds me also of our local rum runner smugglers off the beach via the drain pipes that are big enough to walk through.
Brave kids and like what they find out and where...
...
Mystery of Adventure Island by Paul Moxham
This longer story is about the kids and how they are given instructions on how to sail a boat and are given one for themselves to use.
They sail to an island and don't expect to be gone long but things happen that prevent them from getting off the island.
Their boat gets damaged on rocks, they find caves, the find a house and are able to put a few clues together to realize they are in big trouble.
A woman officer comes to the island impersonating herself so the kids help her out.
They are able to put a raft together and the men chase them and the raft falls apart but they are saved from that disaster.
They put more clues together as the cops swarm the island.

The Mystery of Hidden Valley by Paul Moxham
This book starts out with series listings of the authors works and praise for his writing.
Kids are all going to travel with Will and his dad and all they care about are adventures. They meet up with Tom, a most helpful teen who gives them clues as to where the hidden valley is, through a tunnel.
There are many ways to get there, some not so convenient and the kids have a grand ole time in the lake and riding on the ponies. Tom is to return the next day as he has other work obligations.
Kids find so many things and end up in trouble and I love how they reason with what's there to find a way to escape. They go above and beyond in this one. Every book I read I keep saying to myself, this is the best ever and every time I read another it's the best book ever.
Just when you think they are doomed, they stop and think and look and it's right in front of their eyes. Liked other new characters introduced in this book and their jobs as well.
Can't wait to read more about the adventures!
Authors listing of latest works and just released are summarized along with buy links. Except for Claw Mountain is included.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
