More finished copies arrived this week - the debut adult crime novel by David Fennell, The Art of Death (February 2021, Zaffre Books).

We were delighted to see a new endorsement for this fab page-turner, from Susi Holliday: "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." |
