I am a huge Georges Simenon fan. He is a master of creating atmosphere and quite addictive. Fortunately, he was quite prolific so there is much of his to read.
"I was Vermeer - the legend of the forger who swindled the nazis", by Frank Wynne.
The very intersting life of Han van Meegeren. An artist out of his own time, in love with the old masters....
Martin-
Criminal research? I would enjoy this tale.
Patricia Hampl's Blue Arabesque leads a search for the sublime
through the Odalisques; Matisse, Delacroix, Ingres.
Not quite a dovetail to van Meegeren's exploits but exceptional art reading.
