Tarissa's Reviews > The Privateer Clause: A Marsha & Danny Jones Thriller

The Privateer Clause -- it's a rule of the seas that dates back to the late 1600s, and is now being put to use in modern times. (And is definitely an intriguing element to this maritime thriller.)

There's a lot going on in this book (a few murders perhaps, nothing out of place when you're in international waters, eh?), along with a few other things that I'll let Marsha Jones tell you about...

"What did I get? Pirates, bombs, more pirates, a nutcase Presidential brother, and even a submarine."

Yep, all that and more.

Now, a couple of things that I personally found distasteful is the "rough" language and mature topics that came up a few times throughout the book. This is why I have to deduct stars off my rating, for my own convictions and literary appetite.

Rossignol is obviously a newspaper man, as I found that he likes to discover and share the backstory of every fictional character -- that's just how he writes -- he likes to know the gritty details about his characters before they arrive. And I thought the concept worked fine in The Privateer Clause.

For the first Ken Rossignol fictional book I've read, he does good.
