It is possibly the most repugnant piece of fiction in all of England. So why is Plumtree Press, one of the country's most respectable publishing houses, about to add the hotly controversial new novel to its list? Publisher Alex Plumtree isn't talking. Hardly anyone knows he has taken on the project as a favor to the Prime Minister. Forget the bad press and hateful reviews. Alex swiftly finds himself on the wrong side of a lawsuit, bugged, betrayed, roughed up, and implicated in murder. Suddenly Alex doesn't know who to trust. For someone is clearly determined to stop the presses at any cost. The only thing Alex does know for certain is that going to press with this book may cost him more than just his reputation...it may cost him his life.
This book is the third in the entertaining series that starts with UNSOLICITED. UNPRINTABLE is an expertly crafted mystery-thriller that reads much faster than its 381 pages would indicate. Kaewert brings back her interesting characters and combines love, envy, obsession, and violence with a plot as big as the EU, an election in Britain, more fascinating printing history, geography, ecology, and more! If you love a solid, fully plotted mystery, you DON'T want to miss this amazing series. Beautifully done, with a lot of excitement and masterful subtlety. A real page-turner!
Thrilled UNPRINTABLE Wasn't Unprintable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
As a mystery author with my first novel in initial release, I read a wide variety of mystery fiction. I'm an admirer of Julie Waller Kaewert's previous works, and I found UNPRINTABLE to be another enjoyable read. The Prime Minister secretly requests that Alex Plumtree of Plumtree Press publish CLEANSING. CLEANSING seems like a total mismatch for Plumtree. Plumtree is among the most respectable British publishers and CLEANSING is a highly controversial and sensational work. Once the book's publication is announced, Alex Plumtree finds himself entanlged in all sorts of troubles--some violent, some legal. Someone is trying to stop the presses, and Alex must find out who it is. UNPRINTABLE is another fine work by Ms. Kaewert.
Addictive and exciting

Alex Plumtree is in it again!

Ms. Kaewert has written another excellent book lovers mystery! Not only does she entertain and delight, but she educates as well. Unprintable teaches about past and present - history of printing, and the infamous Euro conflict. This is an excellent mystery that stands on its own. You don't have to read the others to understand what's going on. But be warned you will be hooked! It has political manipulation, people of low moral character, dead bodies ... And it's not even by Ken Starr! Get this book, you'll enjoy it!

Most of the strings get tied up in the end, except for one... I'd really like to see someone clobber a certain old flame of Alex's. Read it and you'll agree. I can't wait for her next book Untitled!!! Is there an A.R.C. in the house? If you want to learn about the Euro Union, read this book, If you want to learn about printing, read this book.
