The Way to Dusty Death Trap Mine

The last book from New Zealand is this one: 
Lovely stuff; don’t forget how hard to find these later small hardbacks are.  Again, this is unread and in excellent condition apart from some wear and fading to the spine.  These books cost me just under £15 each including postage; I reckon a bit of a bargain, folks.  

Death Trap Mine saw the return of that rich bitch Allie from Singing Serpent, although she’s not quite as annoying this time.  It’s a book of pure quality, this, although I don’t know how Jupiter missed the biggest clue ever at the start of the book.  Allie tells him that her uncle is Harry Osborne and anyone who knows anything knows that Harry Osborne is actually the Green Goblin, and therefore clearly the villain of the piece, so why didn’t Jupiter pick up on this with his huge brain?  Had he had his wits about him, the whole story could have been over by the end of the first chapter and we could have moved on to the Dancing Devil.  Dancing Devil? Er on second thoughts, maybe just as well Jupe was a bit useless this time.
