Reviews

[Graham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Clawhammer is a great read. Well written, manageable cast of characters who hold surprises for the reader, well developed settings, and a plot that holds a surprise in every chapter. Across between a mystery and an adventure thriller, the book manages to hold the reader's interest throughout the book: a page turner late into the night.
