Title: Good story in a dramatic, historic setting....
Review: This was the first thing I've read by Paul Watkins. It won't be the last. This is an engaging story with interesting characters who are caught, as everyone was, in the fast moving events of war in Europe.It reminded me somewhat of Alan Furst, one of my favorite writers ("Dark Star", "The Polish Lieutenant", several others) Furst's work is darker, even more atmospheric and told from a stronger European perspective. "The Forger" is a lighter read, yet still has substance. I'd recommend this book for its story, characters, and the fascinating picture of certain aspects of the art world, forgery, etc.
