I gave this book a five because I liked the book. Well duh or i would have given it a lower star! Anyway this book had very good action in it. My faviourte part was when Nancy and her friends are in the farm house in Brandon. This part was the most exciting part. This was because they had just found a very important letter when, oh my gosh something happens. I guess you will just have to read the book to find out!!! Also I like Nancy Drew books because you never know what to expect! Well i guess thats why it is a mystery book. Like i said before Carolyn Keene uses very good description!! Claps for her yeah!!!!! Also if you like dance like ballet then you are in for a good one two of the maine charters are into ballet!!!! Thats the only reason I picked up this book, well also becasue I love Nancy Drew books!

Sure Im a little old to be reading Nancy Drew books but who cares?
Any way this one is my Favorite because Ned and Nancy pretend to be married and almost ask Nancy to marry Him (almost He hints)
So thats why its my favorite because of the romance :-)
If you want more mystery read Nancy's myst. letter!

This book is full of surprises. I liked it also because I'm a lot like the main character, Nancy. She's adventurous and has good friends. Since I'm a lot like Nancy, it made it easier for me to relate to her and get through the book without being confused.
This book is about a picture of a famous dancer wearing a pair of scarlet ballet slippers. That picture was stolen from Paris. Nancy and her friends soon find out why. Four smugglers hid jewels in the picture and snuck it into the United States. They wanted to sell the jewels to make money. Nancy kept running into these people and started to suspect something. Were they staying in River Heights? Her friend Mr. Fontain she met painted the painting and was a dark person, just like the people she suspected of stealing the artwork. Also they were the only dark people in town. The bad guys were also sending threatening letters to the painter, to make him leave. These people will do anything to keep Nancy from knowing the truth about them. Even tryed to kill Nancy.
Will Nancy survive this mystery? Will the truth be told and the bad guys go to jail?
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries, especially Nancy Drew cases. If you like suspense and adventure, you're sure to like this book.

This review concerns the original 1954 edition as well as the revised 1974 edition. Nancy meets Henri and Helene Fontaine, who have fled from their home country of Centrovia and now run a dance school in River Heights. Now the Fontaines are being threatened and fear for their lives. Nancy is determined to find to find out who is threatening the Fontaines and why. This book is alright. The mystery is okay and there is a bit of action. One thing that I did enjoy about the book was that at the end, Nancy participated in capturing the criminals. She may not have physically done it, but at least she was present, unlike in so many of the books were you get an ending like "As Nancy arrived the police were putting handcuffs on so-and-so" or "Two hours later the police called and said that the suspects had been arrested". How exciting is that? It's not!!! The book could have been a little more exciting, however, and it never really held my attention throughout. The book is worth reading, but it isn't one of my favourites.
