I will definitely be reading more of Michael Gruber's books! This had a fascinating plot and wonderful characters, even the villain (the guy who commissions the forgery) is interesting and has a lot of depth. The only negative thing I can say is that you might want to have your Art History book handy. There were a lot of references that went over my head. For a book about pictures, I think it needs, well, pictures. But the story and the writing were splendid!
