The Bishop review

My first book that I'd like to write about is The Bishop by Steven James. I highly recommend this book as well as James' other three books in this series. Before delving into this thriller be sure to read The Pawn, The Rook, and The Knight.

These books tell the story from the perspective of Dr. Patrick Bowers, a highly intelligent agent with a controversial means of tracking killers from the FBI's views. One of the things that made this book and all of James' novels special is that Bowers is a highly intelligent investigator but shows vulnerabilities. He has love interests, he has lost loves, his stepdaughter struggles to make sense of her life, and Bowers needs to stop dangerous serial killers before they kill another victim or eliminate Bowers himself.

The other thing that I loved about this book is that it offered a memorable quote. The quote is "What is obvious is not always what is true."Thought provoking, which can be used in every day life. This quote fit the story perfectly. If you want hours of good reading please read the Pat Bowers series. You won't be disappointed.

Welcome Readers

Welcome to my book blog. Books have always been a part of my life, and growing more important to me the older I get. I've read the genres of horror, regular fiction, some classics, and my favorite, murder mysteries. I want to create a forum where my audience can share what they are reading, let participating readers know if they like it or not. The reasons they think the book is good or not, and future reads.

I've been thinking about what makes a good book to me. I have decided that I look for a few items in my stories. The first is a compelling story. I want my books to have a point, and an interesting one. Along the way I want interesting characters presented. I want to feel that the main players in the story are vulnerable, have strengths, strong convictions, and are characters I can relate to. I want my books, fiction or non fiction, to teach me something. Whether I learn new words or phrases, new quotes, phrases, geographic information, or just some mundane facts it doesn't matter to me. I want to walk away with something new before I read the story.

I've recently gotten on a roll with reading. I'm focusing more of my time to it and would like to share the books I read with participants of this blog. I hope you find it enjoyable and worthwhile.
