Clue in the Ancient Disguise

The story is rather complicated, delving into a mystery involving a painting (which is not ancient, by the way) and the people associated with the painting. There's questions about forgery, a break in at a museum and a thug which threatens Nancy at her own home.

Which brings up an interesting question. Considering the number of times Nancy has been threatened by thugs why hasn't she taken martial arts courses? The next thug that threatens her could end up unconscious on the ground, the police called and one more thug in jail. Yet she never seems to do anything that would give her a good defense against such pieces of trash.

The book was so much into who was involved with the painting, when, what happened to them, etc, that it actually, at least for me, ended up being boring.

I will point out, though, that the particular version I have does contain five full-page illustrations which is quite unusual.
