The Bishop by Steven JamesMy rating: 💛💛💛💛💛
Another great thrilling installment in the Patrick Bowers series, which started off with probably some of the most twisted killers to date, loads of twists and turns and loads of emotions as well.
Steven James has a talent of providing twisted serial killers, a lot of different storylines going which at the end flows perfectly together. Even though there is a murder story which starts and ends in each book, there is a lot of smaller story lines which started in the beginning and develops as the series continues, so I would recommend reading this series in order.
Pat - I love his internal struggle of not giving into his dark side in his chase to find bad people.
Pat and Tessa - This story had challenges in their father-daughter relationship, but this also forced them to acknowledge how they feel.
This series is about killers and even though the author does a great job with giving enough description to show the pure evil of the crimes, it is not that descriptive to give me nightmares, but I would probably not recommend for sensitive readers.
Looking forward to the next book in this series.
*I Listened to this on Scribd. The audiobook was really well narrated.*
