Review of Clifford's War
[Following is a volunteer review of "Clifford's War" by J Denison Reed.]
"Clifford's War" by J. Denison Reed emerges as a captivating crime fiction narrative that begins with an adrenaline-pumping action scene. The story kicks off with Sara hastily transporting Clifford to the hospital, creating an immediate sense of urgency. Despite initial concerns about Clifford's health, it is revealed to be a mere kidney stone, setting the stage for a rollercoaster of events.
The plot unfolds as Clifford and his gang are enlisted by the Senator's wife, who harbors suspicions of her husband's infidelity, necessitating covert surveillance. However, the situation takes a sinister turn when the Senator is unexpectedly murdered by a woman. The subsequent tragic demise of three men in a car accident further heightens the intrigue. The following morning, Clifford finds himself in peril as a gunshot shatters his window.
The narrative prompts probing questions: Why is Clifford in danger? Who would have motives to harm the Senator, and can Clifford extricate himself from the looming threats? These enigmas form the crux of the story, enticing readers to delve into the pages of "Clifford's War" for answers.
Several elements contribute to the book's appeal. Firstly, the narrative unfolds swiftly, providing precise details without delving excessively into scenes or characters. This balanced pace sustains suspense throughout the book. Secondly, the adoption of an action movie style injects occasional thrills, making it a challenge to put the book down, especially given the mystery surrounding the Senator's death. Thirdly, the organized introduction of characters and storyline creates a cohesive understanding. Starting with Sara and Clifford, the narrative seamlessly incorporates friends, professions, and troubles, enhancing the overall coherence.
Furthermore, the absence of errors enhances the reading experience, allowing for uninterrupted immersion in the narrative. I was not able to find any errors throughout the book, making it perfectly edited. Dialogue conversations between characters stand out for their effectiveness in conveying emotions, complemented by intermittent humor that adds depth to the storytelling.
Awarding the book 5 out of 5 stars rating reflects the overall positive experience. While there are no significant drawbacks, a suggestion is made to consider a more intriguing title, given that the current one might evoke notions of war between soldiers from different countries, misrepresenting the actual storyline.
In conclusion, "Clifford's War" comes highly recommended for all crime fiction enthusiasts. However, it is important to note the inclusion of profanity, rendering it unsuitable for children. If you are in search of a gripping experience reminiscent of action crime movies, this book stands out for its cinematic writing style.
