Illusion of Death |
Brian Kavanagh |
Power. Envy. Greed. Lies. All surround amateur sleuths
Belinda Lawrence and Hazel Whitby in this maze of
personalities.
An invitation to a private screening at a film group
involves them in more than the cinematic arts.
Murder and the search for a long-lost film, involve them
in more hair-raising adventures as they begin to
investigate each member of the group, all of whom could be
potential murderers.
Belinda’s skills are tested as she faces the greatest
danger in her sleuthing life.
‘Brian Kavanagh knows how to capture the reader’s
attention and holding it from the first page until the
last word!! And the twists, turns and secrets that
unfold will have the reader turning pages as fast as
they can. There are so many things going on that keep
the reader focused and you cannot help but fall in love
with everything surrounding Belinda, her friends and the
things that she stumbles across.’ – Review by
Missi S. Cozy Mystery Book Reviews
‘Brian Kavanagh has created quite a likeable
protagonist in Belinda Lawrence; independent, strong
willed and smart, she’s more than a match for some of
the more unsuspecting adversarial characters in the
book.’ – REVIEWERS CHOICE Review by Amy
Brozio-Andrews www.absolutewrite.com
‘Author Brian Kavanagh doesn’t dwell on the
relationship issues of the two women. The issues are
there, but the emphasis is on solving the mystery.’
– S. Roddom Reviewers Choice
