Write Up Containing Books The Pawn (The Patrick Bowers Files #1)

The first book in The Patrick Bowers Thriller series did not disappoint at all! If you like stories about serial killers and murder mysteries then you definitely have to pick this book up.Patrick Bowers is called in when several girls have been found dead, the work of a serial killer with a signature of a chess pawn left behind. Patrick's wife has recently passed away from breast cancer and his 17 year old step-daughter Tessa is staying with his parents while Pat tries to help find the killer.

Third time reading it and it was just as wonderful! I absolutely loved the book and actually want to reread the rest of the series AGAIN, but probably won't be able to right now because I don't have the time. If you enjoy thrillers, I highly recommend this book and series. While it does have violence (and some really gruesome scenes), it's still clean language-wise and the violence isn't glorified at all...but if you have a soft stomach, don't read them (especially Opening Moves).I think I can

I may not have been as critical about this book had I not expected so much more from this author. I recommended Steven James Story Trumps Structure to other writers because of the common sense techniques for better writing it contains. I picked up The Pawn expecting it to demonstrate the writers skill. I was hugely disappointed. The book is filled with inconsistencies, failed attempts to be clever, and baffling sections that left this reader confused and shaking her head. An example is a scene



Quite well written police/psychological thriller with lots of all kinds of twists and turns. The only gripe I have with it is the conclusion: it was too ambiguous. Generally I prefer more definite, clear ending to the book. Therefore, only 4 stars, although until the end I wanted to rate this novel 4.5 stars. Well, I guess here author wanted to hook us on this series and ensure the demand for the next book. In my case he succeeded. Despite that I didn't care for the ending I will continue the

Overall, my impression was "brilliant," but there were times where I felt so overwhelmed with the multitude of threads and subplots that I just wanted to quit reading (which is really odd for me, since I'm typically bored reading many books). About 3/5 of the way through, I seriously considering giving up, but "luckily" the brilliant points kept me going. I must agree with some other reviewers in that, for me, the ending fell flat.

Apparently this is considered "christian-fiction" which explains some of the heavy-handed question of God and faith in the book. I was looking for a clever serial-killer book with a clever detective using chess as a way of playing cat and mouse. This was not clever and chess was just a "pawn" in my opinion to get you interested in this book.It was pretty fast paced, highly unbelievable, too many mistakes and I didn't really care for the "hero" of this book at all, Patrick Bowers. Needless to
