Resumen del Editor

On March 18, 1990, thirteen works of art, today worth over $500 million, were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. It remains the largest unsolved art heist in history, and Claire Roth, a struggling young artist, is about to discover that there's more to this crime than meets the eye.

Making a living reproducing famous artworks for a popular online retailer and desperate to improve her situation, Claire is lured into a Faustian bargain with Aiden Markel, a powerful gallery owner. She agrees to forge a painting - a Degas masterpiece stolen from the Gardner Museum - in exchange for a one-woman show in his renowned gallery. But when that very same long-missing Degas painting is delivered to Claire's studio, she begins to suspect that it may itself be a forgery.

Her desperate search for the truth leads Claire into a labyrinth of deceit where secrets hidden since the late 19th century may be the only evidence that can now save her life.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A clever, twisty novel about art, authenticity, love, and betrayal. B. A. Shapiro knows about Degas, and she knows about art theft and forgery, and she also knows how to tell a gripping story." (Tom Perrotta)

Wiil buy the paperbook

I wanted to love this book - but I could not get past the narrator's voice.

Ethics and the Art World

This is a yummy read. It went all kinds e of unexpected places and reminds us that the art world is no better than the people in it. I had some problems with the heroine. She suffers seriously from a case of the emperor;s clothes. There are some true things you just can't say. But the bits about Degas are delicious, wicked and very fun.
I took one star off because I could see where the end was going , but it did manage to give it a good unexpected twist. It's a very good read.

A surprisingly good ending

So many books seem to fade away rather than end, but this one had an unexpected and well planned ending. Listening to this book was an education about oil painting in general and forging in particular, so lots of new information there which I enjoyed.

The Art Forger

As a character, Claire was believable, human, and seemingly authentic.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her story.

Ugh

I didn't like the narrator. The heroine was a wimp and morally questionable. The story starts slow and right when the action happens it speeds up.
