Summary: Potentially very good, but falls short
Comment: I really enjoyed the first couple of chapters on the first two Russborough robberies, and it really fitted it's billing as a True Crime novel.
The problems, for me, came when it moved over to discussing the restoration of artwork that was only very loosely connected to Martin Cahill and/or Russborough and the whole plot began to fall apart.
Towards the end the story returned to another art crime and the story really picked up pace again.
I feel that the material in this book would make the basis for two really good books, one on International Crime, and one on Art Restoration but in the end this feels like it is just alot of research jumbled together.
