Thank you so much to Reader's First for letting me win a copy of this fabulous book - The Art of Death by David Fennell.

As soon as I saw the first cover and read the synopsis, I was so excited to read this. It is just the sort of book that I go for and had I seen that front cover in a shop, I would definitely have checked it out.

Blurb:
Death is an art, and he is the master . . .

Three glass cabinets appear in London's Trafalgar Square containing a gruesome art installation: the floating corpses of three homeless men. Shock turns to horror when it becomes clear that the bodies are real.

The cabinets are traced to @nonymous - an underground artist shrouded in mystery who makes a chilling promise: MORE WILL FOLLOW.

Eighteen years ago, Detective Inspector Grace Archer escaped a notorious serial killer. Now, she and her caustic DS, Harry Quinn, must hunt down another.

As more bodies appear at London landmarks and murders are livestreamed on social media, their search for @nonymous becomes a desperate race against time. But what Archer doesn't know is that the killer is watching their every move - and he has his sights firmly set on her . . .

You would not be able to tell that this is Fennell's debut because the book is so expertly written. It is full of twists and turns and definitely kept me hooked and guessing, right until the end.

Highly recommended reading.
