Welcome to Litsy!

I had this one on my wish list! Score! Thought I‘d share if anyone wants to grab it for themselves. 😊

I love a crime novel and I especially love one with a unique premise or setting. Fake is a well-crafted crime novel. You can guess generally about the broad framework of the central crime from the first chapter but the specifics are metered out so carefully that it's hard to put down. What I think Katz is most skilled at, is drawing her reader into a world. Fake is as much about a particular crime as it is about the flaws of the art world itself.

Involving the art world

Despite being a little slow at times, I really enjoyed this. I especially appreciated the way the author wrote her characters. They were strong women who uplifted other women…which is always refreshing. The Art aspect was an interesting change, also. Not too many books of this type revolve around art, forgeries, and the “art of purposeful forgeries”.

A meandering story about a naive professional art forger who suspects her work is being used for nefarious purposes. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen…

I previously read the author‘s debut book, The Boys‘ Club, and loved it, so I knew I just had to read this one. Once again, I was not disappointed!

Like her previous novel, this one is highly engaging. From the very beginning it takes you on a roller coaster of a ride through the glamorous world of high art.
