New reviews

Excellent Puzzle. one of your best.

I’m thrilled with the reaction to A CANTERBURY CRIME. ‘The story is totally unpredictable and never loses the reader's rapt attention. Brenda and Hazel are witty, irksome, sharp, and pleasure-loving characters who are the perfect detectives, barely managing to elude disaster by the most dire, unsavory criminals imaginable!’ More splendid reviews on this link,…

Hi Brian - a pleasure to accept the hand of friendship. Have now joined a writing group that is headed up by Lindy Cameron, a very positive step, my writing has been given a huge boost, especially being around such inspirational women. Still struggling with dialogue.....sighs. Cheers Gaile

Hi Brian, I'm new to CrimeSpace and trying to touch base with as many fellow Aussies as I can, especially down here in Vic.

Wow !! a published author, I will have to have a read. I have been trying to get my head around the rules and regs for mentioning public places and people in a storyline, not much info forthcoming, any pointers?? Only know two people in the film industry Mike Bishop actor/drama coach and the late sadly missed Lyn Bayonas, producer.

I guess dialogue would certainly be your forte... Has the new book been published yet?

Fantastic bio, Brian - some wonderful films listed there. I hadn't realised you were from Melbourne when I've seen you on the crime-writers Yahoo group (which I rarely visit these days), but the unforgettable titles of your books stayed with me.

Just letting you know that my third mystery BLOODY HAM has been published by BeWrite Books.
AMAZON REVIEW:
" ***** Compulsive Page Turner, September 14, 2007
By Cyril Thomas (Dundee, Scotland)

After "The Embroidered Corpse" and "Capable of Murder" Brian Kavanagh just cooked Bloody Ham and it is delicious for the voracious reader. For the fans of Belinda and Hazel this delightful book is something to cherish. Kavanagh is a master of ingenuity and cerebral humour. The characters in Bloody Ham, are dexterously delineated and the book is a scream from beginning to end. A great murder mystery and drama with a touch of humour. Just go out and get the book..."

Cheers,
Brian
