This was a nice book, not the best, but still pretty good. I really like Nancy going undercover in a disguise, and working in the criminals store. That was probably the best part. Overall I would recommend to all mystery and adventure lovers!Everyone who knows me knows I love Nancy Drew. But this book was crazy. Nancy Drew giving spiritual advice? Nancy Drew causing a couple of people to have heart attacks? Nancy Drew not having impeccable judgment? This book was bananas. And not in a good way. I like my formula to stay the way it is when I read a book like this. And this one seemed totally off.
How do the bad guys always know where Nancy is so they can call her/show up to threaten her? Maybe they could just assassinate her, since scaring her never works.Nancy dons a horrible black wig, applies self-tanner and horn-rimmed sunglasses, gives herself an alias, and with the help of Bess and George, manages to take down a band of forgers and thieves. No consciousness lost, but she does get shoved into a statue mold (think sarcophagus) and kidnapped.Also, she destroys yet another boat.

A lot of fun. And of course the statue looks just like Nancy!
I love how mysteries conveniently find Nancy Drew. Asked to help a client of her father's, Nancy is going to investigate whether woman is being ripped off by the man selling her valuable collection of books on commission. But the very night she is given the case, her house is broken into by two thugs and she receives a phone call warning the woman not to talk. Not to be deterred, and with Bess and George at her side, she heads out. When reaches her destination, in disguise mind you, and after a
Typical Nancy Drew, again with the apparently requisite kidnapping. How on earth can people get kidnapped so often??? Why is kidnapping almost always included in these stories?? It is like the publishers required this item in their plot scenario. Oh, yes, and this one also included a statue that may or may not "whisper", which is stolen.
