Praise for the Mister Rainbow series
The Mister Rainbow series, in all its glory, is a real little gem. Karen Chisholm, The Newtown Review of Books
Mister Rainbow is that rare creature a PI with depth. Down at heel, shabby, inept hes a born loser, at his best when the odds are stacked against him. Somehow, in a taut contest, he wins. Barry Oakley, novelist and former literary editor of The Australian
The Case of the Cock Robin Killer [the fifth in the series]?is a fun and fast-paced read, with lots of twists and turns that will keep you chuckling and wondering who or what will happen next. A cross between classic film noir, Sin City, and John Kennedy Tooles A Confederacy of Dunces, the story is an absolute riot. Red City Review
