A <b>tense-as-hell</b> high-body count <b>page turner</b>, but a rarer thing too - one that's also <b>full of genuine warmth and humanity</b>

William Shaw

Have just finished this <b>hair-raisingly dark</b> thriller . . . <b>you won't be able to put it down</b>

A blend of Lynda La Plante and Thomas Harris

CRIME TIME

A <b>stunning</b> start to what promises to be <b>a fantastic new series</b>. <i>The Art of Death</i> is <b>layered, twisty and so deliciously dark</b>. <b>A hero for our age</b>; 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 thriller with the darkest of hearts, <b>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</b>, and a flawed yet brilliant detective

Fiona Cummins

A <b>hugely compelling</b> procedural thriller set in London. <b>Unsettling, fast-paced, suspenseful and gripping</b>. Loved the way the cityscape was rendered. <b>Excellent</b>

Will Dean

<b>A serial killer classic in the making</b>, <i>The Art of Death</i> is <b>neatly plotted, perfectly paced and brilliantly characterised</b> with a clever concept that <b>hooks you in</b> and holds you tight, right up to the extremely satisfying final page

Susi Holliday

<b>Chilling, unsettling and wonderfully atmospheric</b>, it grips from first page to last. I hope we'll be hearing much more from Fennell and his <b>brilliant</b> detective, Grace Archer

Brian McGilloway

A <b>gritty, dark thriller</b>. Perfect for fans of Chris Carter
