*IN-PERSON* BODYSURFING - HUGH MCGINLAY
A Catherine Kint Mystery, set in Ocean Grove
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.
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.
