A review by harbeequinn
Mr Clarinet by Nick Stone

5.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. The author, having lived in Haiti, paints a picture so vivid that it is easy to lose yourself, to step off the plane in Max's shoes and experience the country. The writing is filled with adjectives - some over-used and some uncommon delights - but, rather than detract from the story as some 1-star reviews critique, I believe that it enhances it; Mr. Stone has laid out a smorgasbord for the senses in his descriptions - if you just sit back and let yourself be sucked into the story, you will be richly rewarded. For a debuting novel, Mr. Stone's work is amazing; it is powerfully written and the whodunit will keep you guessing until the end. It is a book for my keepers shelf. Highly recommended.
