The Art of Murder

“Provocative and Thrilling. The Art of Murder by Maggie Giles teems with secrets and delves into different manifestations of evil. Set in a once serene Canadian town, the murders start piling up early. Both friendship and family are tested as tension builds, past stories unravel, and the future becomes ever more dangerous. Two best friends think they know everything about each other and commit to hiding the other’s mistakes, but as the bodies pile up so do their doubts and fears. Don’t miss this sensational new thriller.” – Kathy Dodson, author of Tequila Midnight “Maggie Giles masterfully peels back the layers of small-town perfection in The Art of Murder, delivering a suspenseful, twisty ride through loyalty, deception, and the dangerous line between right and wrong. With tension that tightens like a noose and characters so real they’ll haunt you, this thriller is impossible to put down. Giles proves once again she’s a standout voice in the genre.” – Jen Craven, author of The Skiers and The Baby Left Behind “Wow! Gripping, propulsive, and action packed. Giles has woven an intricate plot of murder, lies, and secrets. I devoured every dark and twisted word!” – Marie Still, author of My Darlings
