       old series for kids or young adults

       There was a series of books I read when growing up that I
       enjoyed. It was old then, and not exactly mainstream, so I'm not
       sure it's still available. I thought I would mention it anyway.
       It was Alfred Hitchcock's Junior Detectives, or something like
       that. I think there was more than one author. It was three boys,
       one whose father owned a junkyard, one who was brilliant, and
       one who was athletic, I think. The junkyard had an old trailer
       home, tucked away in a far corner, that had been forgotten. The
       boys created a kind of maze, I think, to get to it. That was
       their clubhouse, and office when they formed a detective agency.
       Given the Alfred Hitchcock brand, the cases were more suspense
       than crime. Ghosts, etc, frequently seemed to be the criminals,
       and the boys had to prove it was real people committing the
       crimes, plus identifying which people. There were some clues
       that were interesting.
       I enjoyed that series after finishing the eight Agatha Christie
       mysteries our library had. There were more of these Alfred
       Hitchcock Junior Detective books.

       Sounds like a series that I would have enjoyed reading - I have
       read a lot of that kind of themed mysteries and I have always
       loved them - the chase - the who-is-it - the reveal!
