THE ART OF DEATH by David Fennell crime/thriller
There is a new art exhibition opening in St Martins, London. The latest installation
has drawn a crowd as its from @nonymous and shows three bodies in
formaldehyde. When the organiser takes a closer look he realises too late that they
are real and calls in the police. Grace Archer is a recently promoted DI and is
given the case however an older DI is working with her and is rather old school
in his thoughts as is shown when she seconds Klara from the NCA. There is
a missing MP and the cases are suddenly linked when his hairs are found at
the scene. What is going on and why these people? Grace appears to be in
the killer's sights and when three more “ installations are revealed” on social
media things appear to be going from bad to worse. This gripped me from
the beginning- although it sounds very dark it's not too descriptive of gore
or violence (phew!) but does live up to the blurb of “creepy serial killer
thriller “ and is very well written. I liked Grace and her tenacity. She has
a background which she wishes to forget of her own close shave and a
DI father to live up to. An inventive. macabre concept with the politics
of policing which give it a good solid background and rounded characters.
I very much look forward to the next book. A brilliant read

The Art of Death by David Fennell
Published by Zaffre, 4th February 2021, Hardback, eBook and Audio, £14.99
================
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.
A DEBUT YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS
AND A KILLER YOU WILL NEVER FORGET
