Newish author (2nd novel) Vena Cork has written a very readable novel, The Art of dying [ISBN 0 7553 2397 1]The plot is set up quite well with enough red herrings to keep you guessing –and the narrative is nicely structured to keep the reader turning the page (though readers like me who tend to skip the odd paragraph that clearly doesn’t move the plot forward much will turn them much faster at times). The ending is not of the most brilliant but at least she manages to keep you guessing for most of the book.
