Kick Back
Synopsis:
Kate Brannigan, feisty Manchester-based PI, is
back, investigating the bizarre case of the missing conservatories.
Before long she's up to her neck in crooked land deals, mortgage
scams, financial chicanery - and murder. But when a favour for a
friend puts Kate's own life in danger, bizarre is not the first
word she thinks of...
Reviews:
Sunday Telegraph
'Kate Brannigan deserves promotion to the top rank, alongside
Kinsey Millhone and V.I. Warshawski. Plot, characterisation, pace
are all first-rate, and the bouncy Brannigan is one of the most
likeable of all todays PIs.'
Daily Mail
'Kate Brannigan is truly welcome. A fictional equivalent of
Victoria Wood, hot on one-liners, Chinese food, tabloid papers and
Thai boxing, she is refreshingly funny.'
The
Times
'A satisfying range of villains, Manchester and its environs
turn deeply sinister and Brannigan toughs and wisecracks her way
to a solution. Passes the Second Novel test triumphantly.'
