Captivating Reading Adventure
I have read all of Brian Wiprud's humorous books and they were just fun to read and enjoy. So I held off on his crime novels because I liked the humor and Michael Connelly satisfied my need for crime. I've been reading and enjoying Robert Parker's Spencer crime novels and thought I would give Wiprud's The Clause a try, what the heck, you can always put it down and pick up something else. Wow! Wiprud's crime novel is not a Spencer or a Harry Bosch, from the very start you just want to keep turning the pages to see what happens next. A lot of detail that will take a second read to fully appreciate. While the book is described as a crime novel, that is just a medium for a great adventure with lots of twists and turns. It is written in the first person so you know that Gill will make it to the end, but how he does it navigating through the Serbs, Cubans, Chinese, CIA, FBI and personal emotions is amazing. Brian Wiprud is very good at ending his books with surprises that are not anticipated and are long remembered. I got half way through the book enjoying each time I had a chance to read a few chapters and then couldn't put it down until it was finished. Wiprud's humor is great, but his crime is amazing, I will read anything he writes!
Best Wiprud Yet
I've been a big fan of Brian Wiprud's since I discovered his Sleep With The Fishes, such a volatile combination of noir, oddball humor, and fishing lore. But THE CLAUSE finds Wiprud in a whole new vein. He's still got that sardonic wit, but now it's far more personal. The baddies are far more bad, and in varying degrees. The consequences are far more grave, both for the characters and for society. The multiple plot levels intertwine even more deftly than ever before. The action scenes pop right off the page.
And this one really stays with you. Highly recommended for readers looking for a little more substance in their suspense reading.
(Don't tell my relatives, but they're all getting THE CLAUSE for Christmas.)
Excellent Reading
The CLAUSE (an understood option of each man for himself and never betraying his handler) is an exciting read featuring our hero, Gill Underwood and his lady friend Trudy, both with former military ops training. They team up to heist a jewelry find of $150 million. Unfortunately, they also run into the Russians, the Serbians, the Cubans, the Chinese and all the while under the watchful eye of the FBI, the CIA and I believe the NSA. Luckily our hero employs the Sun Tzu's Art of War and always lucks out by playing one against the other. This is not my normal choice of reading but I'm glad I stumbled upon it for $1.99. Worth every penny.
