About this audiobook

Boston's married art sleuths are about to discover that you can't fake a murder: "Entertaining . . . good humored . . . Sarah and Max are a winning team" (Baltimore Sun).



If she weren't so fabulous, the Countess Lydia Ouspenska might be considered a gangster's moll. The last time she met Max Bittersohn, Boston's famed art-fraud investigator, she was forging minute Byzantine masterpieces to make ends meet. But when Max bumps into her on the Common, the Countess is back on her feet. She has taken up with Bartolo Arbalest, a master forger currently masquerading as an art restorer. And as Bittersohn knows all too well, even the most genteel fraudster cannot be trusted. With the help of his wife, Sarah, Max looks for the secret lair of Bartolo's supposed restoration guild. But when the guild's clients begin to die, it becomes clear there is more at stake than a few fabricated icons. The art may be fake, but for Max and Sarah the danger is very real.

amateur-sleuth, family, family-dynamics, cozy-mystery, law-enforcement, situational-humor, verbal-humor, relatives, friendship, funeral***** Originally published in 1992, so it is contemporary to that time. I enjoy the Bittersohns very much and it's so nice to have them in audio. Sarah is a Kelling of Boston and so was her first husband, that mother-in-law, a gazillion aunts and uncles and more. First husband was murdered shortly after meeting Max B and HIS wide assortment of family members who live away from the city but very close to the "Summer Place of the Kellings" which Sarah inherited. Max is an internationally known art expert and Sarah, their friends, and a couple of gifted relatives work with him in his agency. All this to show that whenever a Kelling has a piece of artwork go missing they tap Max to find it at a reduced rate of service. But this art hunt starts out with a very odd restoration service, an unexpected murder, and a little brown man in red jogging suit (in August. in Boston). Lots of laughs and witticisms anyway and a good bit of sleuthing and helping the bemused police homicide detective. A good read! Andi Arndt continues as the voice behind the series, and she is an excellent voice actor.
