"Sawat, I want to go into the water…” Phuket, Thailand, seemed to be the perfect getaway choice for twenty-two-year-old Calum Armstrong: What he saw, and did, on that holiday proves to have far- reaching consequences; not only for himself, but also for those closest to him. In Germany, uncompromising Frankfurt detective, Otto Netzer,is leading the manhunt for a brutal serial killer who preys on heavily-pregnant women… Neither Calum, nor the killer, yet realise that their destiny lies in the hands of a mythical creature who resides beneath the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea. Intriguing and exotic, Kevin Ansbro’s novel explores how our actions can come back to haunt us in the most unexpected ways. ‘Murder, myth and Mr Ordinary meet up in this extraordinary novel. However bad the weather is here, Ansbro’s vivid writing will transport you to a sun-drenched tropical island – with darkness at its heart. I loved it!’ - Karen Holmes, editor 2QT

I bought Kinnara after listening to a delightful interview with the author Kevin Ansbro on BBC radio about why he wrote the book. Who would not be intrigued by an author who mixed genres of romance, thriller, and mythology, and then injected a bit of humor to contrast with the suspense and pathos?Ansbro is a superb writer with masterful storytelling skills. He intertwined three storylines creating characters that were charismatic and empathetic. I was immediately pulled into their stories and dilemmas. The narrative felt real even when it touched on the magical; disbelief was suspended and I felt anything was possible. Even the emotions of a mythological creature felt real.With lush prose and perfect pacing Ansbro pulled me into the stories of young love, the agonies of loss and bereavement, and yearnings of the heart. I felt the emotions and perspectives of the characters, whether Sawat, a poor Thai boy; or Calum and Hannah, young British lovers. I even listened with dread to the inner musings of a deviant mind with murder in his heart.Ansbro used the right amount of humor and introduced peripheral characters that fleshed out the stories and lives of the main protagonists. His sensual prose was so evocative I could feel, smell, see, and hear each scene, especially those set in exotic Phuket Thailand by the Andaman Sea, whether at the gorgeous seaside resort or in the stinking squalor of the tenements where Sawat lived.Ansbro writes fondly of Thai culture, the humility and hospitality, the inner calm. I was as charmed by their gentle culture as he, and could feel the beauty of the people. A major theme is mirrored in the young lover, Calum, and the mythological creature, Kinnara—their awakening to an understanding that impulsive actions spurred by anger could have far reaching and devastating consequences. Another theme, even with the peripheral characters, was the healing nature of love between lovers and friends. Evil existed, but with repentance and right action redemption was possible.I loved Ansbro’s Acknowledgements, which had a beautiful expression of love for his wife. It is easy to see the inspiration for the love story in Kinnara.This was a beautiful book and a wonderful read. I truly did not want it to end and would love to delve back into its world following the characters into the next chapters of their lives. It would make a wonderful film. I look forward to more from author Kevin Ansbro.

This is story-telling at its apogee, in its best form, with all the enduring, classical elements expected from a modern fairy tale, rooted in the real. Emotional highs and lows and, yes, a ‘moral of the story’. A really good one.Much to ponder about our shared humanity, as told through the fates of Calum, a young Englishman, Sawat, his upbeat, self-less friend in Thailand, and Klahan Kinnara, a mythical half-human, half-bird creature banished thousands of years ago to a solitary existence beneath the sea for his transgression.In Klahan resides the universal human character. Can’t we all relate to feeling sunk under our own past mistakes? We all make them and beat ourselves up over them, isolating ourselves, and long for human touch to make everything all right. Just as Calum will long for Hannah, the love of his life.In Thailand, Calum learns about the existence of Klahan from his friend Sawat. “Sawat, I want to go into the water…” Life lesson: be careful what you wish for! Or be willing to pay the price.Calum dives into the sea, sees Klahan, but does not reach out to the lonely Kinnara, who, in the misery of his banishment, “pleaded with the human to remain … thunderbolts of desperation started to shoot through his chest.” …. “Oh, please, human, acknowledge me! Know me, help me!” The universal human cry!! And when Calum turns his back, Klahan is left in “soul-crushing anguish”.How distinctly human! The primary human drive, after all, is our need to connect. But very often, our own actions damage the connections we crave, those bonds that hold us together. (When our focus is solely on … I want….??)How to mend the damage? How are severed connections repaired? Like a severed spine, it takes a miracle, but fortunately we have the miracle of forgiveness, which rests on taking responsibility and self-sacrifice, which Calum intimately learns.I love Kevin Ansbro’s style of writing - effortless to read, but so incredibly descriptive, in both setting and character. This book was a joy to read. And a knock-your-socks-off, surprise ending!! Fabulously done! Highly recommended.

Slater Magical Realism at its bestAnsbro is a great writer, and Kinnara is a spectacular journey of love, magic, trust, faith and mystery. The reader is instantly engaged, enchanted and pulled in to this story. Kinnara ignites quickly and proceeds like the best fireworks display: surprising and wowing, as the reader eagerly anticipates the next page. Kinnara is spectaular, sublime, and mesmerizing while allowing the reader to ponder the bigger questions in life: love, faith, trust.The mystery of Kinnara is revealed by journeying with Ansbro to different cultures and eras as the author’s words and Kinnara’s plot artfully weave between realism and magic to blend a beautiful story that epitomizes the best of magical realism. A brilliantly told story full of love, magic, humor, trust, faith and mystery.
