I'm half way through The Art Forger by B. A. Shapiro, the story based on an unsolved art heist at a Boston museum. The author weaves a fascinating tale, but I think you'll enjoy it even more if you have an interest in art. You'll certainly gain an appreciation about "how paintings are made."
So what else is new in books?
For starters, I've weeded out two that look interesting and to quote the NY Times, these are definetly "New and Noteworthy."
