Occam's Razor
Occam's Razor
Occam's Razor... you come for the adventure, you stay for the voice. The author has such crisp delivery for each character, the reader doesn't need the dialog tags. It's some cross between street slang and English professor. Don't ask me how that works. If I knew, I'd write best sellers.
Oz's backstory (the main character, Oscar Reyes) really drives his journey. A promising football star whose career ends before it begins in a senseless bar fight... over the woman he loves, of course. And also, she's the one that got away.
His lack of luck in love spills over into his unreliable boss' need for some shady help for her wayward son, now in prison. Is he innocent, or is his mother just crazy. Oz may die answering that riddle. Can't wait to read Clifford's next book.
