Rounded down from 4.5 stars ⭐️
This is exactly the kind of thriller I have been craving recently. When I first read the premise of this book I was desperate to get my hands on it, and it did not disappoint!
The Art of Death follows DI Grace Archer and DS Harry Quinn as they race to capture a serial killer before they kill again. The killer is displaying their victims as works of ‘art’ in glass cases. They have their sights set on Grace as their next art instalment.
David Fennell’s writing and storytelling is fast paced and leaves you on the edge of your seat. The premise of the book fascinated me, and it was even better than I had been hoping for! I started to become really invested in the lives of Quinn and Archer, and I am really hoping that this book ends up being part of a series that follows these characters.
The book was written so well, I often felt like I was watching it all play out around me; which was both haunting and enticing. I am an avid thriller fan, but I have never read anything quite like this. It will definitely stay with me. The only reason I didn’t give it the full 5 stars, was because the reveal of the killer didn’t come as a surprise to me, so there wasn’t a huge ‘wow’ moment. However, the ending was chilling none the less! I will now be watching with bated breath to see what Fennell does next!!
I would absolutely recommend this book to any thriller fans! It is a must read!
