Mystery in the Apple Orchard is too young for me. It reads like a book for very young children. It's cute and would be fun to read to a child. It's not so good when read by an adult.
Mystery in the Pirate Oak is better. The story is still pretty simple, but the book is interesting.
The Mystery of the Lost Letter is the best of these three books. The story includes a search through a library full of books and a secret passage that leads to a nearby hillside. The story is quite interesting.
This book was published in 1946, right after World War II. Miss Wayne has the library full of books. Everyone considers Miss Wayne selfish for not loaning out her books. I can see that viewpoint, especially for the time period in which the book is set. However, no matter what a person possesses, it is their decision whether to loan out the items. They shouldn't be considered selfish for keeping their belongings for their own use.
