AN INTENSELY CREEPY SERIAL KILLER THRILLER DEBUT, FOR FANS OF M. W. Craven, RAGDOLL AND THE WHISPER MAN. London' s latest art installation is a real killer . . . An underground artist leaves three glass cabinets in Trafalgar Square that contain a gruesome installation: the corpses of three homeless men. With the artist promising more to follow, newly-promoted Detective Inspector Grace Archer and her caustic DS, Harry Quinn, must race against time to follow what few clues have been left by a savvy killer. As more bodies are exhibited at London landmarks and live streamed on social media, Archer and Quinn' s pursuit of the elusive killer becomes a desperate search. But when Archer discovers that the killer might be closer than she originally thought - she realises that he has his sights set firmly on her . . . He is creating a masterpiece. And she will be the star of his show.
I flew through it . . . Tense, gripping and brilliantly inventive * Simon Lelic * A tense-as-hell high-body count page turner, but a rarer thing too - one that' s also full of genuine warmth and humanity * William Shaw * Have just finished this hair-raisingly dark thriller . . . you won' t be able to put it down * Araminta Hall * A serial killer thriller with the darkest of hearts, David Fennell more than earns his place at the crime fiction table with this superb exploration of a psychopath with the creepiest modus operandi I' ve read in a long time, and a flawed yet brilliant detective * Fiona Cummins * A hugely compelling procedural thriller set in London. Unsettling, fast-paced, suspenseful and gripping. Loved the way the cityscape was rendered. Excellent * Will Dean * A stunning start to what promises to be a fantastic new series. The Art of Death is layered, twisty and so deliciously dark. A hero for our age; DI Grace Archer is fierce and relentless, intuitive and driven, yet underneath the mask she wears, she' s also surprisingly vulnerable and just a little bit damaged. I can' t wait to see what she gets up to next * M. W. Craven, winner of the CWA Gold Dagger * A serial killer classic in the making, The Art of Death is neatly plotted, perfectly paced and brilliantly characterised with a clever concept that hooks you in and holds you tight, right up to the extremely satisfying final page * Susi Holliday * Chilling, unsettling and wonderfully atmospheric, it grips from first page to last. I hope we' ll be hearing much more from Fennell and his brilliant detective, Grace Archer * Brian McGilloway * A gritty, dark thriller. Perfect for fans of Chris Carter * Olivia Kiernan *
