This book is a terrific blend of true crime, scandal and art history. The story of a woman who walked into one of the most famous art galleries in the world and convinced one of the most respected art dealers her forged painting was the real deal. Which lead to an $80 million dollar forgery ring that lasted years and pulled in/tricked many of the best art historians, authenticators and art connoisseurs. (Cont.)

CoffeeK8 The cast of characters was fantastic and the book's organization and research was detailed and clearly outlined. I listened to the audio version of this book, which was expertly narrated by the author, Ben Avrich. He also directed the documentary about this case, "Made You Look". Thank you to #Netgalley and #RBMedia for an Audio ARC of this book. 14h

Babylonia

This was such a good book. I highly recommend it.
You follow a woman who started out with nothing but went on to rule an empire. She married a king. She had his child. She became queen....

This book is an example of why we should, most definitely, read outside our comfort zones and moods. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#the-cemetery-of-untold-stories

This loner-senior-finally-blossoming saga is a pleasant, if predictable, story. Publication is expected May 31. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#the-secret-life-of-albert-entwistle
