I picked up this one because I was feeling like reading a "cozy mystery" and this book is part of a series that was adapted for TV in the 80s, which I used to watch a very, very long time ago.
The series followed the adventures of an antiques dealer who was not particularly honest and was always in trouble, but was deep down a generous soul and ended up uncovering forgers and criminals, all thanks to his knowledge of art history.
Incidentally, my daughter found this book in a resale shop and decided to buy it because the remembered that I had mentioned that series.
It was a good read, but the way I remember it, the main character was more likeable in the series than in the book and I also didn't enjoy the writing - lots of slang and clearly dated. But I still liked it because the mystery part is good and all the information about the antiques business, scams and forgeries is great.
