The most boring Trixie I've read, maybe because she and Honey were the only two Bob-Whites in the book, or because unlike on their previous trips, they didn't meet any kids their age or interesting adults in Saratoga, or at least not any that weren't also main characters.

The 24th adventure in the Trixie Belden series, and I don’t think I’ve read this one before. This was not one of my favourite Trixie books, even though it was great to finally unravel a bit more of Reagan’s history. Much like the Arizona adventure, this one spent a lot of time on “facts” about the area – which a lot of the books do, this just more than its fair share and I just didn’t think the mystery had a lot to it. An okay read.

This is one of the more nuanced/character-driven books, and is still one of my favourites. Accidentally hilarious to be rereading this while watching the Leverage ep with a horse-racing plotline, too.
