Beyond the new city centre developments, the old Sheffield canal is overgrown, run-down and deserted. Signs of regeneration creep along its towpaths, including a small, innovative gallery housed in one of the warehouses.

But between the renovations it's a dark and lonely place - the perfect site for an exhibition reworking Brueghel's The Triumph of Death.

For Eliza Eliot, the curator, the chance to show well-known artist Daniel Flynn's work at the gallery is a coup. But when a young woman's body is found in the canal, Flynn's nightmare images begin to spill out into the real world. Still affected by the murder of her friend's daughter four years earlier, Eliza is drawn deep into the violence that seems to surround the gallery.

Is this the work of a psychopath or is there a link between present horrors and the tragedy of four years ago?

(The author is also known as Carla Banks.)

A good read; a dark mystery.

Chosen from svoight's mystery VBB. Now on its way to erishkigal.

Thank you, eith~the book has arrived safely. And thank you so very much for the beautiful bookmark~~it's just exquisite, and using it will make me joyful each time I open a book and see it!
Happy Holidays!

Wow! Yes, a very dark mystery... but once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down!

I offered this in bookstogive's mystery/thriller vbb, and it's been selected by eponine38!

Thanks for being patient as I finished up my season at The Grand . ENJOY!

Thank you, erishkigal! I look forward to reading it.

Wow! I just Could Not Put This Down. Multi-layered plot, well-developed characters. Darker and much, much deeper than my usual cozy fare, it was a welcome change and educational as well: though I'm familiar with some of Brueghel the Elder's works, The Triumph of Death was new to me. And the twists and turns kept me guessing until the very end.

I often find it difficult to write reviews, even of books I've loved, so will just say again...wow!

Left in the Little Free Library at about noon. Hope the finder enjoys it!
