The Art Thief by Michael Finkel
4.5
adventurous informative fast-paced

Great prose and engaging. I love that Breitwieser or his girlfriend, his mother, or even father, is never painted in some kind of evil light and rather that they're all a product of their environments, impulses, and surrounded by enablers. A perfect storm.

Also I am somewhat disturbed to learn about the severe lack of security in museums? I've always thought they were all far more sophisticated haha. Not that this has awakened anything in me. Certainly not.  🤥
