Short and Sweet Book Review # 323 = The Razor by J. Barton Mitchell

The RazorThe Razor by J. Barton Mitchell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If I had to use one word to describe The Razor it would be unexpected. Why? I have read several maximum prison stories and they seem to follow the same pattern. This one does not. The plot is complicated, the characters different, and the goal is not escape but to live. The action is nonstop and the danger always around. There are flash backs to explain the actions of some of the main characters. The one reason for four stars and not five - several of the characters are just dropped in and it takes a while to find out how they fit into the story line. This looks like the first in a series as the ending leaves some things up in the air.

I received a free copy of the book in return for an honest review.
