Please join us in reading The Art Forger: A novel by B.A. Shapiro, for our November pick of the month book.
The Art Forger is a NY Times Bestseller and is the Boston Globe Best Crime Book of 2012.
USA Today says “The Art Forger is a thrilling novel about seeing-and not seeing the secret that lies beneath the canvas.”
The Art Forger novel is set in the world of art- the artist themselves, the art galleries, the paintings and the art history with a plot that twists and turns.
It looks like a page turner to be sure!
We will be reviewing The Art Forger for November 30th, 2015 along with our book club discussion.

I enjoyed Art Forger. It was an easy read. I thought the plot was a bit predictable and I wouldn’t describe it as a thriller at all. The main character Claire or as her friends at her local tavern “where everybody knows your name” call her “Claire bear” really lacked depth. Having said all this I still liked the read and learning a bit about art and copying art was interesting.
Hi Phyllis,
I am glad you enjoyed The Art Forger. I have just started reading it and I am enjoying the read. I hope to be done by the time the Art Forger book review and book club questions come out on November 30th, 2015.
I am not expecting much depth in this book as I am expecting more mystery on the art forgeries/reproduction themselves. And what about the heist? I am looking forward to seeing how it all the loose ends connects.
It’s always nice to enjoy a book and learn a little of something!
Thanks for your comments!
