Average rating4.1
Non fiction about the most prolific art thief of all time, Stéphane Breitwieser who, along with his girlfriend, stole more than 200 art pieces from various European countries in the late 90s-early 2000s.
I devoured this book, well written and researched this provided a thorough look at one of the most interesting crime I ever read. Having studied art history, the subject was definitely of great interest to me. I loved how the author narrated the different thefts and the aftermath, it felt tense and fast paced, it was like reading a thriller. I liked the inclusion of some of the stolen artworks and I loved the little drawings of the infamous attic where all these precious pieces had been kept. The ending notes by the author also provided extremely interesting details on his work method to make this book. I'll be definitely checking out more about this fascinating true crime and also check out the author's other book.
