It was an ok read. The heroine struck me as flighty and unfocused much of the time. Sweeney St. George is the protagonist. She puts together an art exhibition by the same name as the book with death ritualistic art commemorating those who died to remember those who left the living behind. Two murders have been committed in the gallery where her exhibit is being shown and puzzle the authorities. Sweeney and her policeman friend, Tim Quinn, believe that these murders are connected to the early suicide of a young intern. It is but not the way they think it might be. The author attempts to add interest to the novel by including Sweeney's personal love life. Sweeney says she is in love with a British citizen named Ian but is unable to commit to marriage and moving to London. To further complicate this situation she is attracted to Tim.
