The Wrath of the Madame by Jack Oswald

In recent years, many works of contemporary fiction have been toned down through various states of porousness, keeping the average reader from full immersion by overburdening them with details.

Deep within the pages, other literary elements lurk patiently, cheated, awaiting a jolting messiah in more intricate readers.

Despite some imperfections, Jack Oswald’s The Wrath of the Madame is a pulsing thriller that rushes along the bumpy path crafted by a gifted storyteller.

Synopsis

In Jack Oswald’s The Wrath Of The Madame, a mother in transit to a reputable hospital where she works unknowingly loses a flash drive housing copious, high-profile medical information. An overly inquisitive and investigative journalist sees this and digs into the mine.

In an exciting expose to the workings of data privacy, the hospital’s data management department is forced to find the source of the glitch while facing career-defining threats due to the costly data breach.

In the background, the dark underbelly of political bigotry is slowly, tantalizingly revealed.

Characters

Set in a fictitious South Oceania, each character has a motivation and some cause for action. Jack draws on each character’s uniqueness, hastening them towards their goal in the spirit of a well-paced thriller. Although saddled with long, somewhat unrealistic names, the characters impressively retain their depths and conflicts.

The introduction of The Igodomigodo Boys into the frameworks of paramilitaries was equally brilliant. It beautifully highlights the Nigerian government’s use of logistics-oriented means to apprehend hardened, fetish state criminals.

Narrative

Told from the perspective of a perfectionist and the point of view of an omniscient narrator, Jack
brings the event climax ever closer to the readers with ease.

The narrative style is gripping, and while readers can expect a few blips along the way, The Wrath of the Madame, is, for the most part, a smooth read.

Wrapping Up

Jack Oswald’s The Wrath Of The Madam weaves a tale of motherhood and justice with the themes of
politics, data protection, and family.

It’s an encouraging read that holds you down till you forget to text a friend about a Marvel movie you just saw.

Buy The Wrath of the Madame on Amazon.
