Whoo-hooo! 4.5 stars. The Queen! Is a wonderful read. My favorite of the series so far. A Tale of many stories On one hand there is this killer serial killer story. Patrick Bowers serves at the head of the manhunt for the infamous Mr. Basque. One layer below that, there is a tale of international espionage that gets more and more tangled. Throw in a winter storm and rural Wisconsin and it only gets more tangled. The standard suspense thriller is just as fun any other book. Its both complicatedI read The Bishop a while back and really enjoyed it. Im pretty picky when it comes to books like this because it is not my favorite genre, but there are a few authors that I feel excel at writing suspense, and Steven James is one of those authors. One of my absolute requirements when it comes to suspense novels is they have to grab me right away. If there is no immediate excitement, there is very little chance that I will like the book. I remember how quickly The Bishop grabbed me, so deciding
Another rip-roaring read by Steven James. I have almost forgiven him for sequencing The Rook ahead of The Knight (which doesn't follow the value of the pieces). Could there be only one more in the series? Maybe he'll switch to Monopoly or Risk for his book titles.
I've really enjoyed this series; just wish I didn't have to wait a year for the next installment!I love how the characters, good and bad, have been woven through each book. I've especially enjoyed how Pat Bowers and his stepdaughters relationship has developed through each book. The exploration of good and evil that exists in each of us, and of guilt, forgiveness and faith runs is especially thought provoking throughout the thriller/mystery plots.
Imagine my surprise after reading all the Patrick Bower series by Steven James and in wanting to write a review of the books, to discover that this series is labeled as being published by a Christian publisher, as well as authored by a Christian...ergo, the Patrick Bowers series is labeled Christian Fiction. I'll tell you this, as an atheist, I didn't have a clue (not even a suspicion) of this throughout my reading of these novels.Now, now, I am not implying that good Christian fiction doesn't
The most recent in the series and a little change to Mr. James format. While this falls under Christian fiction, I haven't noticed anything that would mandate it fall into that category, starting with Pawn (book 1). The format changes here in that Mr. James does start weaving stronger elements of faith in the story. It still doesn't change the thrilling action, but perhaps enhances it as people do tend to "get religious" when they are on the verge of death! Killer ending to this one. Looking
I love all his books. He keeps you riveted to the page and you never know what's going to happen next!
