FAKE

Narrator Andi Arndt brings charm to the story of naïve and mentally unstable art copyist Emma Caan. Working as a legal forger of valuable masterpieces for owners who wish to store the originals, Emma is flattered to be accepted into the jet-setting world of Russian oligarch Leonard Sobetsky, one of her clients. But soon her new life in the high-end art world spirals out of control, and she realizes that she is being used as a pawn. Arndt gives well-developed voices to a wide-ranging cast of secondary characters ranging from Emma's friends and colleagues to Leonard's Russian associates and art-world stars. The listener will be rooting for Emma until the end. J.E.S. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2022]
