Children’s Books Young Adult Crime & Mystery
The Three Investigators in The Mystery of the Silver Spider sends Alfred Hitchcock’s teen sleuths—Jupiter, Pete and Bob—into a chilling new case where a silver spider holds the key to an eerie European castle and a looming political coup. This vintage 1972 Armada paperback keeps the classic mystery adventure vibe alive for readers aged 9-12 and nostalgic adults alike.
The book carries gentle signs of its age: light cover scuffing, a corner crease on the back, and mellow page toning that feels right at home with a vintage copy. Inside you’ll spot a previous owner’s name penned on the inner cover and a couple of tiny dog-eared pages, but the spine is solid and all pages are present for uninterrupted reading.
An inscription on the flyleaf adds a personal touch, though it is not signed by Hitchcock or the series ghost-writer. For collectors, these modest quirks only deepen the charm of this 1970s edition. Grab this affordable, gently-loved copy and let the Three Investigators spin their web of clues once more.
