Review: Every Crooked Path

Every Crooked Path Every Crooked Path by Steven James
My rating: 💛💛💛💛💛

This book was extremely difficult to read because of the subject matter - the author did a great job though, being sensitive and only giving enough information to know what is being done to the children is horrific, but not too much that images is stuck in your mind. After this book I want to keep my boys close and behind safe locked doors! I think this is definitely an important book for awareness.

I LOVED Tessa and Patrick’s building relationship! And loving Christie as well.

The twists and turns were great and the cliffhanger at the end makes me very glad that I already have the next book available.

Francis was also a very well written supporting character! His internal struggle was really well written.

If you enjoy thrilling suspense with lots of twists and turns, you should give this author a try.

About the book:


Who is the Piper? . . .
 
Special Agent Patrick Bowers returns in an electrifying prequel to the Bowers Chess series from critically acclaimed, national bestselling novelist Steven James.
 
A mysterious suicide and a series of abductions draw Patrick into a web of intrigue involving an international conspiracy where no one is who they appear to be and the stakes have never been higher.
 
Soon, Patrick discovers that the secret to stopping the Piper’s current crime spree lies in unlocking answers from an eight-year-old cold case—and the only way to do that is by entering the terrifying world of the conspirators himself.
 
Dark, probing, and chilling, Every Crooked Path takes an unflinching look at the world of today’s cybercrimes and delves into a parent’s worst nightmare as it launches a new chapter of Patrick Bowers thrillers.
