The Jazz Cage

It's set in the Roaring 20s, so obviously you will have large servings of history.

If you don't like history or a ton of historical references, know that this book is full of them. It's set in the Roaring 20s, so obviously you will have large servings of history. People left some negative reviews because they didn't get half the stuff he was talking about and said they had to constantly stop and Google things to understand. And, what's wrong with that? Come on, now. Don't give a book a negative review because it's not YOUR style even though the author was spot on with his intended theme! That's an unfair bash. An author doesn't write to cater to everyone. It isn't possible. This was similar to folks who leave bad reviews because the book took too long to be delivered. Really!? Anyway, I digress ...

Smith had the story moving from the first page. I was locked in from the second I read the first fight scene. The main character Frank McCluey is a gangster turned hero. He was hired by a millionaire to hunt down and bring home these two runaway slave girls. His change of heart earned him many enemies, and he had to put his intuition and motivation in overdrive to blaze through all the obstacles in their way of salvation. He made it his quest to not only capture the girls but make sure they didn't end up back in the cruel hands of Mr. Wills, their owner. With assistance from secret operatives with the Underground Railroad, they had a chance to escape to Canada, if only they could make the trek to get to the border via boat near Niagra Falls. I normally don't like gangster or "Godfather" type stories, but this one had a twist that drew me in. Frank ends up risking everything, even his own life, to help two runaway slaves and do the right thing against the odds.

Here's my likes and dislikes list ...

Likes:
-Strong plot and action-packed, with each chapter ending in a turn of events. I gasped midway when a character who seemed invincible and very likeable gets killed in a very shocking manner, ending the chapter.
-Very well written with no repetitive phrases, which a LOT of authors are prone to do. I can't stand that, but Smith was totally generous with his word variety. I did not find myself eye rolling at abused words and phrases.
-The book presents you with a great mix of well-developed characters to both love and despise, my favorite being Frank, Mr. Tough Guy who can annihilate enemies without a second thought, with a soft heart for the worthy.
-I felt like I was right there on the run with the characters on the road, through the fields, in dusty underground hideaways, experiencing the car chases and shoot-outs.
-The tone changed often, which kept me wide awake. Every time I thought OK, nothing's going to happen, something surprised me and recharged my curiosity.
-His use of profanity was tasteful, as oxymoron'ish as that sounds.
-It was one of those stories that made me think about it long after I'd shut the book.
-And it compelled me to want to read more of this author's work.

Dislikes:

-The younger of the two runaway slave girls, Cece, kind of annoyed me. There was something about how she was 20 but reverted to being childlike most of the book as a result of sexual abuse by the master. It was a breath of fresh air when she snapped out of it, BUT she still seemed to be childlike and highly dependent on Della.
-I felt like I had to wait too long to really know whole the story behind the frequently-mentioned Karol, the past lover of Frank who was killed long before.

I highly recommend this book. It was a fantastic read, and I enjoyed it very much. I give it FIVE stars! (less)

And, to be honest, I was not sure what to expect. Since I have a minor in history, the concept behind this book was extremely interesting. For a long time, I always wondered what would have happened if the South and successfully seceded from the nation. Smith does a wonderful job showing that throughout the whole book!

This book opens with Della and Cece hiding in some bushes right after they ran away from their master. After years of abuse—both physical and sexua—Della has decided they need to try one last time to runaway from the Monster. However, unbeknownst to them, their master, a wealthy whiskey bootlegger, has hired the help of a mob bounty hunter and his assistant. Frank McCluey is known for his reputation as a former boxer. Once on their trail, a series of adventures start, which end with Frank helping the two young women escape to freedom.

The book is broken down into four sections. Each section, minus the last, takes part of approximately a week's time. All of the chapters are told from the POV of either Frank, Della, sometimes Cece, and the Hound. These different vantage points gives the audience a unique look into each character's mind and shows how they are dealing with the situations they are facing. It also allows the author the opportunity to flesh out the characters on their own. Seeing the Hound from everyone else's POV was interesting; however, he is far more sinister, sick, and messed up when you are able to get inside his own head.

I appreciated that Frank and the girls each had their own back story. It added depth to the characters; however, he didn't waste a lot of time trying to fully tell the audience those stories. The fact that they were there and a few tidbits were dropped was enough to add some dimension. However, he was still able to pull a few punches with the back stories. For example, Della's history was perfect! Even though I suspected it, I loved how it was able to pack a punch at the end of the book.

The little details in this book were sublime! The fact that the FBI was actually the BI (Bureau of Investigations) due to the South being an independent nation, the border crossing between the southern and northern states, the lock down on the Canadian border, and so on, were perfect details. These things show that Smith put a lot of thought into the consequences of the South winning the war of Southern Independence.

I loved the interaction between the two women and Frank. In Cece, it was a good way to show how she was able to grow in her circumstances and move away from her horrible past. All around, I thought it was a great way to show growth in the characters. While Frank seemed to be tough-as-nails veteran boxer, he turns out to be a big softy.

Even though I enjoyed this book, it took me sometime to get through. The short chapters make it feel as though the book is flying by; however, it was rather dense and took me a little longer than usual. That being said, this book was a success! (less)

The Jazz Cage by Ray Chen Smith is part historical fiction, part thriller and all action. Reading this book felt like sitting in the theater watching an action flick. Bits of it were farfetched and somewhat illogical, but it did not matter. The action fit with the pace of the story and kept you on the edge of your seat. I imagine this is what it was like reading those cowboy novels and detective books from years-gone-by.

Ray Chen Smith certainly does not suffer from a lack of imagination. He has...more

Prohibition-era mobsters collide with Underground Railroad abolitionists in The Jazz Cage.

It is 1924—sixty years after the South’s victory in the Civil War.

Frank McCluey, bounty hunter for the mob, is sent to help out a wealthy Virginian bootlegger. Frank’s job: track down two female slaves who’ve run away from the millionaire.

But the mob has made a bad choice. Instead of capturing the women, Frank decides to help them escape to Canada, his mission now aided by the pint-sized but steel-willed runaway Della and the outlawed Underground Railroad.

Soon Della and Frank become the target of slave catchers, cops, gangsters, and most chilling of all, a Confederate agent nicknamed the Hound for his ability to always sniff out and kill his prey.

My Review

This is a great story, the Civil War where the South won and slavery and racism is rife. Frank McCluey is a bounty hunter for the mob and hired to bring back two female slaves who have escaped from a millionaire that will stop at nothing get them back. However Frank is going though a crisis and instead of taking the women back he decides to help them, putting himself in the firing line for the mob, police and FSA agents. A fast paced story that will have you keep you hooked until the end.

I really liked this story, the two slaves and Frank are the main characters (along with the FSA Agent, known as The Hound). The story alternates between these 4 characters and we follow their escape and the characters who dip in and out of the story. There is a lot going on but not so much that you get lost or confused amongst the plot. The chapters are a few pages long (which I love) so you can fire through the book even if your working or have other things on as you can dip in and out.

Why only 3 stars for a book I really enjoyed? Well my knowledge on history isn't great so I found myself having to stop mid story and Google a few things which is no reflection on the story or writer (more my lack education) but it did then interrupt my reading (which most of you won't have an issue with). Also when the bad guy got paid, the amount was told by who was on the money rather than the amount, again I had to search as I am rubbish at knowing who is on what note (and would have the same issue on our countries notes). However I now know a wee bit more than I did before reading this book and may pick up a book on the Civil War and educate myself further.

The characters are very well written, Frank I just couldn't help but like considering what he is putting on the line to help these woman. The strength of these two ladies shows throughout the book (Della more so but Cece shines through as the story goes on). There is racism, a lot of bad words and the horrors the women suffer are told but doesn't go into horrific detail but enough fr you to understand why they are so desperate to get away (and so untrusting towards white folk). The Hound is a horrible despicable man who uses his status to get away with appalling crimes and punishes people for things that happened to him as a youngster. I don't think I have disliked a character so much since Percy in The Green Mile. The author has a wonderful talent for bringing the characters to life and I am still thinking of them despite finishing the book. 3/5 for me this time and thank you so much to the author for giving me the chance to read and review his work. I would definitely read this author again.(less)

What if the South won the Civil War? What if slavery still existed? What if the Underground Railroad still existed? What if Arnold Rothstein and not his Italian counterparts created the mafia organization known as the syndicate? All of these what ifs are thrown in and mixed together to create an intriguing tale.

It’s a very well-written novel and the pace flows between characters and the tension builds to the expected climax. There are bad guys chasing Frank and the girls at every turn; from the Hound, a crooked, evil agent for the Fugitive Slave Agency to members of Arnold Rothstein’s organization to local authorities, Frank must stay one step ahead of the bad guys at all times.

Some parts would be hard to swallow, such as Della being an amazing shot but Chen does a good job of showing Della’s and Cece’s desperation - that they are literally fighting for their lives and so the unbelievable becomes believable as the two women, with the help of Frank, make their way north and to freedom with a host of bad guys on their trail.

Chen shifts the point of view from Frank to Delia to the Hound to Cece and they flow one into the other giving the characters more depth and background, each playing a pivotal role in the final showdown. Background stories are not overdone or drawn out, it is just a glimpse to understand the character better. Of course, the Hound is still despicable, just a purely evil person and I couldn’t wait til he got his.

I love reading about the mafia and old time gangsters, particularly Lucky Luciano, so it was really cool seeing figures such as Luciano and Arnold Rothstein in all their bad-ass glory. Although I had a hard time believing Frank could get the best of Lucky, but that is my own personal bias.

I really enjoyed The Jazz Cage. It was a well written, suspenseful and entertaining read. Anyone who enjoys historical fiction and mystery and suspense may find this book as enjoyable as I did. Thank you to Ray Chen Smith for my free copy of your wonderful novel.

The description fits. On one hand, The Jazz Cage is about two runaway slaves trying to find freedom, but it’s got some booze, corruption, and gangster-style gunfighting, too. As I’ve said in previous posts, it’s not exactly a book I’d grab right off the shelf. History never wants to stick in my head, so I’m ashamed to say I wouldn’t know Famous General X from the guy who lives down the street. I’m a little fuzzy on battles and law, too. Smith’s book is peppered with dates, events, and names, and sometimes that information is distracting, like he wanted to cram as much in where he could — which isn’t necessary since the focus of the book is less on what would change if the South won the war and more about slavery and abolition.

Now, that’s coming from a reader who isn’t so concerned with accuracy or alternate histories. I’m sure if my best friend were here right now, she might have different comments to make, just like she did during Lincoln — Daniel Day-Lewis be damned. But when a book is set 60 years after the South won the Civil War — which didn’t happen — you expect its story to play out in a way you haven’t really seen before. The Jazz Cage basically follows two slaves who run away and the people who try to help or stop them.

Maybe Smith did work some historical “what if” magic on the book, or maybe there are subtleties I’m not noticing. (In that case, Smith — I’d love to talk those over with you, so email me!) But what I read didn’t seem to depend so much on a timeline shift as it did slavery and freedom, and you don’t need to alter history to write that.

But whether or not that’s an oversight of the book doesn’t much matter as I generally have no complaints about the story itself. I actually enjoyed it, which doesn’t usually happen with me and history anything. Smith has a knack for writing characters with good personality quirks and ending each chapter (all 116 of them) on an effective cliffhanger. They’re fairly short, so the pages whizzed by — in no smart part due to his clean and carefully crafted writing.

The Jazz Cage is Smith’s second novel but the first that he found “fit for public consumption,” according to the author page, which also says he’s happy to receive and answer emails from readers — which I like. And maybe you’ll want to, especially if you like talking history.

I’m not that kind of girl, but if I wasn’t reviewing this book here on my blog, I’d be glad to tell Smith how much I enjoyed his characters — who through the painting of details stood out clearly in my mind like real people — and his suspenseful action scenes. I mean, car chases and gun fights — Underground Railroad meets Prohibition-era mobsters? If pushing slavery into the 1920s was all the platform that Smith needed to write this book, then I’m all for the South winning the war.(less)

After spending the day with Wills he learns that two of his maids have run away, and he wants them returned unharmed. Frank set's out with his boss's nephew Issac who he helped raise when he was just a young teen. Issac and Frank track the women to Levi's Tubbs a man who works for the Underground Railroad and is helping them women get to Canada where they will be free.

Della and Cece are maids for the old Wills, but this isn't their first time trying to get away. Wills has a sick obsession with Cece and had always been decent to Della. The girls flee trying to get away from the monster that has been controlling their lives since he purchased Cece and sent Della's mother to the butcher. After their contact is murdered the girls attempt to flee but get saved from the FSA by Frank and Issac. Neither of them wants to take the woman back to Wills, but Frank doesn't want Issac in the mess so he sends him home by trying him up and leaving him on the side of the road.

However Frank isn't the only one after the women, Herbert Basset also known as the Hound a agent at the Fugitive Slave Agency is hot on the trail as the trio race to get away. Hound is one scary guy he wants to be in charge of the FSA and has no issues killing to get what he wants. In addition to fleeing the FSA they are also running from the mob as well as Wills. The trio will need to be lucky to get away from everyone chasing them.

I don't read a lot of Historical Fiction, but when I do they always seem to be really good. This one is no exception; it's a fast paced entertaining read that keeps you on the edge the whole time. I really liked Frank he's such a good guy even if he is a bounty hunter for the mob, he's still has a good heart. The book made me hate the hound it's been a while since I read a book just hoping someone would kill him but I did. I found the characters well developed my heart went out for Della and Cece, and I love reading a book that makes me feel all emotional. It's a great book, it kept me drawn in right from the start and I had a hard time putting it down, had to stay up till almost two last night reading just to finish.

This type of novel is completely out of my comfort zone. But I do like to challenge myself once in a while and explore other genres. I did something that generally I do not do. I checked out the reviews prior to taking this book on. They were all positive.

Am I glad that I chose this novel to be adventurous with. WOW! What a ride! From beginning to end, this author kept me guessing and riveted to the edge of my seat. I NEVER knew what was going to happen next. I was never able to predict the plan.

I also never expected to completely love Frank McCluey and become one of his biggest fans. Especially in the beginning when he was hired by the dirty old Virginian millionaire to track and find two run-away slaves. His change of heart, his complete desire to finally do the right thing even if it meant sacrificing his life by aiding Della and Cece, just softened me to him page by page.

Cece broke my heart and made it soar. I imagine that many black women/girls in that era went through many travesties of the kind she endured. It made me emotional to see how broken down she was, to the point of digression into a childish state. The soaring of my heart was through seeing how she began to heal.

Della was just an astounding character whose twist in the end I never even dreamed of while reading this novel, though once I finally was let in on her own secret, it wasn't all that surprising. She really didn't have a plan, and thought mostly on her feet. She was so afraid, and yet she kept right on thinking, and moving. I really admired her.

'The Hound'. He made the top 10 villains of 2013 list. God, he's so revolting. Just a worm of a person. The type of guy that should be locked up for his depraved urges and actions, yet he is useful and perfect for the job he does. He really is a hunter. How he always found himself one small step behind them just frustrated me. Pure evil, with a taste for blood and murder, he was a force to be reckoned with, and a hell of a villain.

Someone put this book on the movie screen. Even I would watch it and love it. I am not a huge fan of mob movies either. But I would be first in line for a movie ticket to this. The amount of action caused havoc with my breath. Every time things got a little calmer, and I would take a deep calming breath and continue reading, something would suddenly happen. And my breath would hitch again and I would think... 'Shit, this is it! They're caught. They're dead!' But Frank, Della and Cece found a way, and their demise would have to wait another day, much to 'The Hound's' frustration.

If you love this genre, you MUST read this novel. I don't read enough of these to make a reasonable comparison, but I am confident that this novel would be greatly enjoyed by those readers out there that like this type of story. If this is outside your comfort zone, but you are looking to explore a different genre, and you love action packed stories, I would definitely recommend you give this novel a chance.
