I’ve always been fascinated by art crimes, while at the same time being very saddened by them. I enjoy art and art museums and anyone who, by stealing, deprives the public of appreciating masterpieces just really bothers me.I highly recommend this book. You will not be able to put it down. Though it is nonfiction, it is a very quick read (as evidenced by the fact that I read it in less than a day) and it moves at a quick pace. I thought this was an interesting tale of a still unsolved crime. The author is an investigative reporter, and did a great job of talking about the known facts, possible theories, etc. I got a little confused about all the possible suspects, but mostly because there are so many, not due to any fault of the author's. A really interesting "reality crime" novel. I want to learn what the updates have been since the book came out!
What do You think about The Gardner Heist (2009)?
Very interesting, but too long. It's somehow dissatisfying to read a mystery that is not solved.
