Bodysurfing, the third Victoria-based Catherine Kint mystery by Hugh McGinlay, is now out with Clan Destine Press.

Catherine Kint is a gin enthusiast and raconteur with a penchant for men with high cheekbones. She also has the distinction of being Australia’s only milliner sleuth. Her talents with hat pins, and a former occupation as a crime scene investigator, mean she is a force to be reckoned with.

Kint’s first two adventures take place in and around the inner-Melbourne suburb of Brunswick. In Bodysurfing, Kint and her pals – Britt (a cop), Boris (90 kilos of muscle and Star Trek tragic), and Andy (a Scots voice of reason) have transported to the coast for a summer sojourn.

The discovery of a body in the water – the Greens candidate for the local by-election – kicks sand in their plans.

With the town of Ocean Grove in the grips of political shenanigans, and the police investigation lagging (according to Britt, aka Homicide Detective Houden), the scene is set for a coastal rollick as Catherine and Co overturn various rocks to uncover a killer.

Author Hugh McGinlay is a writer and musician. These poor life decisions mean he has also worked as bus driver, kitchenhand, singing teacher and seller of dental consumables.
