Review:
"Blue Heaven... frothy, brilliantly coloured and packing a wicked satiric punch." (Los Angeles Magazine)
"Blue Heaven is a hilarious read. Quote me with pleasure." (Sir Ian McKellen)
"I adored it, laughing out loud on occasions as I read it at one sitting." (The Bookseller)
"Joe Keenan has put the ‘high’ back into high jinks... refreshingly effervescent" (New York Times)
"Joe Keenan's first novel plunges headlong into a world of deceit, avarice and violence and it's all a scream - Keenan maintains impressive control over a wonderfully ludicrous plot-packed full of lines that are well worth memorizing - and with a finale that is staggeringly, hilariously contrived." (Time Out)

(Time Out)
From Joe Keenan, chief scriptwriter of the award-winning Frasier TV series, comes an outrageously funny novel: an unholy cross between Armistead Maupin, P G Wodehouse and The Sopranos.
