The Dying Beach

'The Dying Beach is a detective story rich in Thai culture...Jayne, who can speak Thai and knock about with the best of them, is an endearing character.' * Readings Monthly *
'It is a surprise to note that The Dying Beach...is only Angela Savage's third Jayne Keeney novel. The Thai-based Australian private detective with her warm heart, social conscience and haphazard business skills is firmly enough fixed in memory to have been the star of many more: indeed, any understanding I have of Thai culture, manners and politics can be ascribed to the detailed and knowledgeable background to Jayne's first two adventures in Chiang Mai and Pattaya.' * Adelaide Advertiser *
'Savage writes with dry humour and a beguiling sense of place, but a hard-boiled quality of meance underpins the light cleverness of her prose.' * Weekend Australian *
'Sun-drenched beaches, sex, death, corruption, environmental destruction, and cobras - what more could you want in a crime novel?' -- The Hoopla
'The Dying Beach...is a stylish, intriguing and entertaining novel featuring an appealing protagonist.' -- Book'd Out blog
'The Dying Beach has it all: an exotic, evocative setting; terrifically drawn characters including good guys you can't help but like and a story that manages to be thought-provoking and an edge-of-your-seat ride at the same time. Highly recommended.' -- Fair Dinkum Crime blog
'From time to time I am reminded how spoilt we are in Australia with the depth of talent in the crime genre. The Dying Beach is Angela Savage's thrid novel in the 'Jayne Keeney PI' series and it's the perfect escapist read. It whisks you away to a warm location and once you're there, the quality of the writing and clever plot details make spending time with expat Jane and Rajiv, her partner in life and love, a very enjoyable experience indeed...For crime fans this novel ticks all the boxes, but it would also appeal to anyone looking to escape their everyday routine with a ripper read.' * Good Reading *
'The Dying Beach is a love story as well as a tightly plotted crime thriller....deft and unobtrusive characterisation...is a mark of both the humour and insight that is a hallmark of Angela Savage's writing, and the reason I've been recommending it to so many people.' -- David Whish-Wilson
'Keeney is an appealing, flawed heroine.' * Sun Herald *
