The suspense of finding out who murdered Miss Niner builds up…

Further, Nicolucci stated that the discovery of artwork and paintings in the excavation of Pompeii offered supplementary resources about the anthropology and physiognomy of an ancient Indigenous Pompeiian people, a point illustrated in the text of Conticello, who described various physical components he believed visible in wall paintings (Lazer, 2009, p.53-55) .
