The Johnny Denovo Mysteries

When I published “Spam & Eggs: A Johnny Denovo Mystery,” I felt fairly confident about the book. A few people I trust had read it, and liked it. I enjoyed reading it still, and found it grabbed me even though I’d written it.

Now, about a month later, I’m feeling really good with the response. I’ve heard certain phrases in reviews that I could have only dreamed of hearing before:

Andrew Kent has created a character so memorable and distinct that he will surely dazzle on-screen someday as he dazzles in a book.

Bravo to a new author whose originality explodes from these pages. Highly recommend.

This is a book that in fact puts the writing of a lot of very seasoned and famous mystery writers to shame.

The plot is compelling and strong, the writing is superb and the author is a master storyteller.

a masterpiece of deductive challenge, engrossing reading, and engaging entertainment

Andrew Kent’s book is very fast paced and contains a cast of well-developed characters. The plot is unique, as is the writing style. This book is different from any other that I have read. “Spam & Eggs” is a clever, intellectual mystery that will leave you wanting more of Johnny Denovo in the future.

A fresh and entertaining take on the detective novel

Reading it is an utter delight, as much for the sheer pleasure in superb writing as for the story itself.

this book is about as well written as any book I have ever come across.

Well, buckle my shoes! Reading all this is enough to get me to finish Johnny’s second case report, “The Green Monster.” Look for it in late summer 2009!
