The Art Thief by Noah Charney

By on April 1, 2008 in 2008

From AudioFile Magazine:
Hilarious! Delicious! This deftly plotted mystery is filled with art and French food and delightful heroines and heroes. (Or are they thieves?) Author Noah Charney’s knowledge of the art world is extensive—he headed the first international think tank on art theft—so this romp is not only entertaining, but educational as well. Even better than the art mystery are the meals. Simon Vance uses rich accents to create a believable Gallic atmosphere as he “ooo-la-las!” his way through a series of gastronomic adventures, making listeners’ mouths water at the same time that their sides ache with laughter. By the end of the book, it’s hard to care where the paintings end up as long as all the characters are happy. B.H.B Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2008

About Simon

If you don't know already: I'm an actor who found his way into audiobook narrating as a side-gig and seems to have made a success of it. I did train as an actor as a child (just a couple of hours a week, but it stuck) and later I spent about 15 years working inside the BBC ending up, for a decade, as one of the presenters/newsreaders on BBC Radio 4 in London. I found my way to California a few (!) years ago and have never left.
