"Kavanagh is one of my all-time favorite writers" CALAMITY AT KRYME COTTAGE Reviewed by Kim Aalaie12/27/2022 One wouldn't immediately think that a murder mystery built around white lace and Jane Austen could be so well-written, but throw in a new rector at the church, a missing vicar, a couple new neighbors, a few interesting murders into the hands of a great author such as, Brian Kavanagh and you are bound to see success! Kavanagh is one of my all-time favorite writers and I always enjoy his plots and deep character development. "Calamity at Kryme Cottage" is another Belinda Lawrence mystery novel from his series and it doesn't disappoint. The storyline, of course, includes Belinda's young-at-heart business partner, Hazel Whitby, who's up to her usual shenanigans as the two attempt to learn the who and business of the mysterious Madam Malefic and the identity of the corpse buried in Belinda's garden. "Calamity at Kryme Cottage" is another page-turner that I read straight through, couldn't put it down. Brian Kavanagh never disappoints! I suggest you read the entire series, but this is an awesome stand-alone also. Makes for a wonderful afternoon read. BELINDA LAWRENCE CLASSIC MYSTERIES Paperback & eBook

'I want you to read this one! Great turn of events in the ending. Definitely my favorite this far. 5 out of 5! Brian Kavanagh has a great knack for spinning a tale perfectly and he outdid himself with "A Canterbury Crime." Reviewed by Kim Aalaie 4/25/2022 Book four of the Belinda Lawrence series is one of the best so far and tell the tale of the 1170 murder of St. Thomas Becket. Of course, Belinda Lawrence and Hazel Whitby become involved through their antique business, but are quickly pulled into the possible murder of Professor de Grey. This one had me guessing right up to the end and what a surprising ending! The story takes place in Canterbury and is full of location and religious history. "A Canterbury Crime" takes many, many twists and turns that leads the reader down a crooked road of mystery. This one is a real page turner with our usual comfortable characters and some new somewhat eccentric ones that make for a wonderful novel. The storyline is busy with page after page of drama and surprise. No spoiler alerts. I want you to read this one! Great turn of events in the ending. Definitely my favorite this far. 5 out of 5! Brian Kavanagh has a great knack for spinning a tale perfectly and he outdid himself with "A Canterbury Crime."

CAPABLE OF MURDER. Five Stars. ***** Cosy village mystery 28 Mar 2013 By chubbagrubb Format:Kindle Edition| Amazon Verified Purchase I am always looking for new murder mystery authors to read, and Brian Kavanagh did not disappoint. Belinda is interesting, intelligent and likeable as a main character and the narrative is full of twists and turns that keep you racing towards the end. It may not have the gruesome `scare' factor - don't expect gory detailed descriptions of dead bodies, but it plays on the genre of `village' mysteries - a cosy little town plagued by a sudden spate of killings. This is a well-crafted read perfect for fans of Midsummer Murders and Miss Marple.

"Kavanagh managed to do what MC Beaton, does so well, incorporate humor within the confines of a credible mystery." - Mary Lynn, author of 'Dear Cari' MyShelf.com

GOODREAD: 'Just before I started reading this book I was reading the book written by JK Rowling, The Cuckoo's Calling which is also a crime fiction book. I have got to say Brian Kavanagh's book is so much better, well written, interesting, can't help loving the 2 main characters, Belinda and her friend Hazel.'

Time to discover the six Cozy Plus, amateur sleuth Belinda Lawrence mysteries. Plot and character driven, cozy with an edge, witty, amusing, exciting, each mystery centres around an historical event or item. "I adore Belinda. She is a strong and independent character - in total control of herself." Paperback and eBook. Enjoy the video.

'It takes a dedicated writer to pull their series characters through each story without a formula developing. A formula which can then become an anticipated pattern. Don't get me wrong, I do like my pattern favourites...Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys, along with The Famous Five books come to mind. However, I do appreciate an author who knows how and when to grow their characters. What pace the story being told requires...and listens to the story's demands for that pace.

Having been a fan of Belinda's since book one, closing "A Wicked Design" I feel there's a whole new chapter opening up for her. A new path she's going to travel down and I'm curious to know what that brings her. What decisions she makes.

Way to go, Brian. I'm forgetting she's a fictional character and you're her creator. I do hope you keep an ear open and a blank screen ready for what Belinda wants next.'

"Another aspect of Mr. Kavanaghs writing is the historical knowledge he peppers throughout the story. Never does this information dampen the telling, it only enhances the thrill of the solving." THE MUSE REVIEW OF THE EMBROIDERED CORPSE.

**** Gripping, suspenseful and beautifully written!, 1 April 2013 By ramblingsofanelfpire - Amazon Verified Purchase. 'The writing style was what made this for me; the way that the author created the atmosphere and suspense was artistic and beautiful, yet did not distract from the plot at all.'

AMAZON

'There's nothing like a good old fashioned English cottage owned by a reclusive woman to arouse the interest of the reader. Add a few British rainstorms, a mysterious and handsome neighbor with something to hide, a few real estate agents and lawyers with ulterior motives and it all wraps up into a perfectly packaged mystery that makes the reader shiver with delight. Hopefully this Belinda Lawrence mystery is the first of a series, and that Brian Kavanagh's first foray into mystery writing produces a good many more books.'
Shelley Glodowski Senior Reviewer By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
