The Lakes on Eldridge Book Club begins its 2026 season with The Art Thief by Michael Finkel, a gripping true-crime tale that promises to spark lively discussion among neighbors. The club meets Monday, January 26 at 7:00 PM, with the host home rotating monthly within the community. This resident-led group has become a favorite way for Lakes on Eldridge neighbors to connect through literature, conversation, and shared curiosity.
January’s featured book chronicles the astonishing real-life story of Stéphane Breitwieser, who stole more than 200 artworks from museums across Europe over the span of nearly a decade. Finkel’s account blends investigative detail with psychological exploration, offering plenty to unpack—from the logistics of the thefts to the broader themes of obsession and the value of art. It’s an ideal read for true crime enthusiasts and literary-minded neighbors alike.
