The Johnny Denovo Mysteries

The cover for the Johnny Denovo sequel, "The Green Monster"

Another strong review has appeared for “The Green Monster: A Johnny Denovo Mystery.” I’m especially happy with this one, since it’s from a reviewer who praised the first book as well. With a series, you want to keep improving, and it seems I’ve been able to do that:

In “The Green Monster,” Johnny Denovo takes on his second mystery. In this installment he is hired by a man in the bio-tech industry who wants Johnny to find out who is blackmailing him. The case ends up being much more complicated than it first appears and Johnny is drawn into a plethora or conspiracies, threats, and plots. Kent has a very intellectual slant to his mystery writing which I find to be quite enjoyable. However, it is a novel where your full concentration is required so that you are able to keep up with all of its intricacies.

I had the pleasure of reading Andrew Kent’s first Johnny Denovo mystery which is entitled “Spam and Eggs.” When I finished that book I was looking forward to reading more as I enjoyed Kent’s unique and intellectually stimulating writing style. Therefore, I was very excited to see this newest Denovo mystery, “The Green Monster” and after reading it I can say that it certainly held up to, if not passed, the high standard mark that was set by his first book. – Rebecca’s Reads
