Meet Frank and Joe Hardy, the Hardy brothers. They are the sons of Fenton Hardy, a famous retired private detective in New York. Now, his sons are keen to follow his footsteps. They work together to tackle the most difficult cases, and always get the job done. They are assisted by their school-mates Chet Morton, Biff Hooper, and the like. Chet's love for food provides some comic relief in grave situations. Another peak of the series is the Boys' Aunt Gertrude, who despite her acid outward appearances, has a deep appreciation for the Hardys.
Here I'll be briefly reviewing the series, and then providing some download links.

| Edward Stratemeyer, the creator |
This series was created way back in 1927, and is still going strong, i.e. new books are still being released. This makes it one of the longest running book series in the world! This alone should be good enough reason to read these books. On top of that, there are a huge number of books in the series. As per my counting, there are a total of 420 Hardy Boys books across all series. This is huge! It would be a great challenge to try and read all those books. (Actually more challenging than you might think, because only a few of these books are available as eBooks...)
Now for the eBook links. Regrettably, only a very few e-books are available.
Books are in HTML format. Convert using DocsPal and/or CoolUtils. eBooks courtesy goanwap.com, which is, as far as I know, the only site having so many eBooks in this series. More eBooks are constantly being added, so the gaps in the table are gradually filled up.
The Original Series contains 190 books. Here is a list of the available books among them.

This post was suggested by 'Hannah' who used the 'Request a Book' page on Book Shades to suggest the Hardy Boys. You too can suggest any books series for me to review and post download links, by using the Request a Book tab above.
Special thanks to goanwap.com for being such an excellent source of eBooks.
