Truer Than Fiction

This story is about me, Reginald Radcliffe Oxley. Well, not only me! There are other characters, of course, but I’m the most important one…perhaps aside from Keira, who actually tells you about it all.

In any event, one could say it’s about characters who revolve around me, molding both themselves and me into who we are, crafting the stories that you’ll find here into what they’ve  become. We create upon what is created, imagine from what has been imagined. We digress, we move forward, we lead, we follow, we cry, we laugh… Yes, just like you. Reality in a world that isn’t real. Or is it?

Well, why are you just standing there? Open the book and read it to find out! (You might want to purchase it before you do, so no misunderstanding is implied.)

Ah! You need more convincing. Fair enough, I agree. After all, one must know what one is purchasing. Let’s see, there’s comedy, romance (which of course implies tears), white-collar action (guns and whatnot included), and you get several books for the price of a single one—four, to be exact—plus another as it’s being written. Hard to believe, but it’s true.

Most importantly, however, you confirm our life, our existence, and our continuity. Now, surely you wouldn’t want any of that to fall into ruin…would you? I didn’t think so.

Eternally grateful,

Reginald Radcliffe Oxley

Suspicion is The Game

Suspicion, mistrust, doubt, uncertainty, misgivings, conjecture, speculation, assumption, and plenty of imagination is what makes a mystery book. It’s what makes this a mystery book. My favorite? Meaning and meaningless coincidences.

Looking at the bodies—and there are quite a few—if in fact there was a mysterious hand behind it all…how was it done?

Simple explanations, obvious to the main forensic finds, are elaborated with ease. And yet, doubts to their accuracy arise when common sense says it could be otherwise, raising mistrust when before there was blind faith, and creating a playful game of suspicion in all aspects of the crime.

It becomes a game for the killer—if in fact there is one—where detectives, police, forensics, and lawyers become simple pawns that move about trying to resolve the murders.

That makes one hundred and thirty-two words and I haven’t given you a clue.

Indeed, never better said, Suspicion is The Game.
