    About this ebook

    Volunteering his services as a pilot to fly renowned international peace advocate Egon Kisch between Fremantle and Melbourne, Rowland is unaware how hard Australia's new attorney-general will fight to keep the "raging reporter" off Australian soil.
    In this, it seems, the government is not alone, as clandestine right-wing militias reconstitute into deadly strike forces.
    A disgraced minister, an unidentified corpse and an old flame all bring their own special bedlam. Once again Rowland Sinclair stands against the unthinkable, with an artist, a poet and a brazen sculptress by his side.

      Rowland Sinclair, the younger son of a wealthy Australian family, has a reputation for causing scandal. Wilfred, Rowland’s older brother, presides over the family fortune and is influential in the conservative Australian government of the 1930s, while Rowland associates with bohemians and communists. Thinking that it will give him a chance to purchase a new airplane, Rowland agrees to secretly fly communist Egon Kirsch into the country to be a speaker at the All-Australian Congress Against War and Fascism. However, the government has barred Egon from entering the country. When a communist party member is found stabbed on the steps of Parliament House by Rowland’s friend Milton, whom the party member was on his way to meet, Rowland and his friends find themselves involved in several dangerous situations.A Dangerous Language is Sulari Gentill’s 8th book in the Rowland Sinclair series. I had not read any of the previous books, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Each chapter of the book has as an epigraph a portion of a newspaper article. After reading the book, I believe that many of these articles may be real historical accounts from the newspaper, but I am not certain about all of them. I felt that the book meandered in several different directions as the author tried to insert historical events into the book. For example, at the start of the book, a woman’s body was found, which was initially thought to be Rowland’s friend Edna. However, Edna is soon found, and we learn nothing more about the body until the Epilogue. Gentill has attempted to write the book around Egon Kirsch’s actual trip to Australia in 1934, but there are just too many plot points to make the book come together well. I think had she stuck to one or two of these instead of the six or seven that I can think of, I would have enjoyed the story more.I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and PanteraPress in exchange for an honest review.

      In this eighth of the series Rowland is approached by a member of the Communist Party to observe the Federal Parliament in Canberra, and replace the current man, Kelly. Although refusing, his friend the communist Milton Isaacs does not, and all four friends journey to Canberra where Kelly is found murdered.
      For me the story contained too much politics which made the tale in quite a large part boring, and certainly not enough of any mystery. A pity as I do find the characters an interesting bunch.

    • 5/5
      1934, politics, political-intrigue, Australia, family-dynamics, friendship, murder, historical-figures, historical-novel, historical-places-events, historical-research******This is not an unbiased review. I absolutely love learning world history between the World Wars in Australia through the lives of Rowley Sinclair and friends via the pen of Sulari Gentill! Being a history geek, I snoop into (almost) all the references except the newspaper quotes at the beginning of chapters.Egon Kisch was a Jewish Communist and anti-war activist who wrote in German (the dangerous language) at the time Hitler and his nazis were on the rise in Europe. Because of his politics, Australian government and some subversive factions attempted to ban him from visiting. That's history.Rowley is a painter born into a wealthy family and he shares his estate with a number of artistic friends with whom he has gotten into difficulties before. The book begins with a missing young woman who has been set alight and is unrecognizable at the same time as Rowley's dearest friend has seemingly disappeared (his artist's eye knows it is not her) and then turns up due to miscommunication. Then there's the murder of a known communist with ties to one of Rowley's other friends who is subsequently seriously injured in an intentional motor vehicle accident.Rowley is also a car and airplane nut so prepare yourself to learn some fascinating things about the Chrysler Airflow as well as the MacRobertson Air Race in a de Havilland Comet. The recurring characters certainly are, and all characters a clearly and engagingly drawn.It is not NECESSARY to have read the previous books as everything vital is in here, but on the basis of curiousity...I requested and received a free ebook copy from Poisoned Pen Press via NetGalley. Thank you!
