The Johnny Denovo Mysteries

The cover for the first Johnny Denovo mystery, "Spam & Eggs."

“Spam & Eggs: A Johnny Denovo Mystery” received another nice review today from Henry Baum, author of “North of Sunset,” and editor of Self-Publishing Review. Here’s part of it:

. . . like a Dostoevsky novel, or Auster’s City of Glass, you get the sense throughout this book that the novel is about more than its subject.  There’s an undercurrent of double meaning to the entire novel, which is an impressive accomplishment and makes you keep turning the pages to see what will be revealed. You get this sense of double meaning from the title itself – I won’t give away what “Spam and Eggs” is actually referring to, but when the detective Johnny Denovo pieces together the case that revolve around – yes – spam and eggs, the novel truly comes alive.

Baum does a nice job of praising the work while suggesting ways it could have been better. I appreciate his careful reading and consideration of the work, especially his closing remarks:

Overall, it’s recommended and I’ll be keeping an eye on whatever Andrew Kent puts out in the future.
