Critics Review
Blue Heaven … frothy, brilliantly coloured and packing a wicked satiric punch.
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 has put the ‘high’ back into high jinks. His send-ups of criminal noveaux riches are biting and dead on - and his dialogue is refreshingly effervescent. * New York Times *
One of the funniest writers alive. * David Leavitt *
