The Art Detective: Fakes, Frauds, And Finds And The Search For Lost Treasures
by Philip Mould

Philip Mould is an authority on British portraiture and a fixture on the British version of the BBC's Antiques Roadshow. He travels all over the world to buy art for his gallery and writes about how his restorers perform marvelous wizardry to reveal what was originally painted. I found that stuff to be fascinating, but unfortunately, the book started to flatline after several chapters.
Mould writes about six different paintings and their backgrounds (all with some sort of mystery), but there's no oomph in them. I found the writing to be boring and just not exciting.
