- A sick baby. You don't get a whole lot accomplished when the children fall prey to a virus.
- Patrick Bowers, FBI. You don't get a whole lot accomplished when the mama falls victim to a good novel!
The Patrick Bowers thrillers are written by a Mr Steven James, and let me tell you, I got sucked in from page one. His writing style is great. Twists and turns at every page, and not once did I think I had it figured out. These are the kind of books that you forsake lots of things to get to the end--sleep, food, housework. Although I think that I did just enough of each of those said things as my family didn't complain too loudly.
Here's a quick summary of what these books are about. Bowers, an FBI specialist is the one who gets the call when others are stumped. His moody but witty teenage stepdaughter comes along for the ride, but invariably he gets sucked into the case deeper than anyone thought. There is personal danger to them as the killer knows who they are. A beautiful college who is one heck of a martial artist (whom Bowers is infatuated with of course!), and an old buddy who is the size of a gorilla make up the rest of the team.
It's like CSI meets James Bond (for the adventurous unknown) meets Dr. Kay Scarpetta (character written by my all time favorite novelist Patricia Cornwell). Great material and I'm chomping my bit to get the next one!
