great story, maybe too many details

love the unique storyline, interesting tale. Characters could have been more interesting , other details too lengthy. BTB generally goes into great detail, occasionally too much . listened twice and will keep

loved the narration

I love BTBs books but as I didn't know about, or have interest in, the art world, I struggled getting into the story. The narration kept me interested in the characture development and slowly loved learning a little about the art world and forgeries. The characters and scenery lept into life of course, as always with Barbara, and I could not stop listening. Great escape to another life for a while!.
