About The Art of Dying (Rosa Thorn Thriller)

The art world is deadly... In London, Rosa Thorn is slowly getting her life back together. Following the tragic death of her artist husband, Rob, in a hit and run accident, and the subsequent terrorising of her family, she is at last moving on. At a retrospective of her late husband’s paintings, Rosa mixes with the great and the good of the London art world. But beneath the high class of the event, there is a maelstrom of seething emotion. Years of hidden feelings will have fatal consequences. Rosa is left alone to unravel the mysteries that connect a dead artist, an enigmatic journalist, a globetrotting millionaire and the London art scene. Blending wit and excitement in a compelling story, The Art of Dying takes Rosa from her cosy London home into the jaws of a grisly, hideous danger that seems set to destroy her. Will she be able to save herself – and her dearest friends – from evil, or will she finally meet her end?
