True story: In the early morning hours of March 18, 1990, two men dressed as police officers bound and gagged two guards at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts, and stole thirteen works of art worth today over $500 million. Despite thousands of hours of police work and a $5 million reward, the artwork has never been recovered.
The Art Forger dives deeper into this story with two fictional characters, a gallery owner and struggling artist, that find themselves in the middle of this mystery. Did they really have in their possession one of the missing pieces?
I read this book in two days. Granted it was the long weekend I was not as pressed for time as I might normally be, but it was very hard to put down. If you are looking for a good beach read I highly recommend this book.
Always looking for a page turner! Thanks, Emily~
