What Did Our Fantastic Readers say About Clay’s books?
” This uniquely nostalgic writing reminds me of the great classics instead of most modern shock-value literature of today. It’s good to find a real author again without need to dirty his work with unnecessary trash scenes. ”
” I was enthralled with the story Sherlock Holmes-esk, the story is unique and fun to read. A short story that isn’t bogged down with unnecessary verbage or so thin that a reader is left wondering what is going on. The writing brings me back to nostalgic readings of classic literature. ”
” This is a wonderfully done novella, almost a short story. The story is tight without wasted words. The setting and plot is very much like a Sherlock Holmes mystery. The plot moved so quickly that it was impossible to predict. I loved it! I will be reading more of this series for certain, and will try out some of his other work as well. “
