AUTHOR FAVOURITES: WHEN COWBOYS DIE by PATRICK DEAREN

Multi-award winning author PATRICK DEAREN (winner of The Spur Award, amongst others) tells me his favourite of his western novels is WHEN COWBOYS DIE. This tells of a 1970s cowboy who goes on the run from the law. It’s based on a true story of a cowboy who seemed to want to emulate the deeds of Kirk Douglas in the great 1962 movie LONELY ARE THE BRAVE, one of my favourite ‘western’ movies. Life imitating art! 

REVIEWS:

‘This book has everything: action, adventure, superb characterization, vivid dialogue, a strong sense of place, and a plot that will seize your heart and not let it go until the last page… an instant classic.’

‘Departs intriguingly from classic western form . . . . A tale of a cowboy born 100 years too late and of his desperate run from the law.’

‘Bright and poignant . . . . A sharply drawn and memorable novel.’

‘A spellbinding tale of the modern world against the last cowboy.’

‘If you're a western fan and have only $20 to spend in the bookstore this year, spend it on 'When Cowboys Die.’'

‘A great read, that leaves the reader on the edge of his seat the entire time.’

THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT CASTAWAY HOUSE by STEPHANIE LAM

STEPHANIE LAM’s novel THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT CASTAWAY HOUSE depicts strange goings on at Castaway House, a once-regal mansion in a town on the south coast of England. 

Switching between the roaring 20s and the swinging ‘60s, the novel is part AGATHA CHRISTIE thriller, part urban novel with an edge.

CASTAWAY HOUSE is warm, stylish, witty and compelling. 

REVIEWS: 

‘A wonderful read.’ 

‘A fascinating cast of characters.’ 

‘A Cracking Good Page-Turner. The 20s and the 60s were arguably the liveliest decades in the 20th Century … the author certainly captures the colour and naughtiness of both.’

‘I felt completely transported by the book.’ 

‘The book is so beautifully written and the characters so established and full of intrigue that I find it hard to believe that this is only her first published book… a sheer joy to read.’
