Review: The Knight

The Knight The Knight by Steven James
My rating: 💛💛💛💛💛

Another great thriller in the Patrick Bowers series. I just love Patrick - he has his flaws, but I enjoyed his internal struggle to do the right thing, trying to solve the case, but also be there for his stepdaughter, Tessa.

The thrilling suspense was great again. So many twists and turns, a twisted killer and a revelation I did not expect. I like that we can see the POV of the killer as well.

I enjoyed how the author writes about Rem's personal life without having that be the focus point, but are focused on Rem's pursuit of the killer and his relationship with Tessa, Ralph and Calvin.

Looking forward to the next one in the series.

About the book:


In The Knight, the third installment in the bestselling series of thrillers featuring FBI criminologist Patrick Bowers, the stakes have never been higher.

Agent Bowers is used to tracking the country's most dangerous killers, but now it looks like a killer is tracking him. When he realizes the murderer is using clues from an ancient manuscript as a blueprint for his crimes, Bowers faces a race against time to decipher who the next victim will be and to stop the final shocking murder--which he's beginning to believe might be his own. Gritty, chilling, and intense, this psychological thriller is guaranteed to keep readers up all night.
