Every Wicked Man by Steven James
5.0
Every Wicked Man blew me away with it's tension, fast pace, and and depth of characters. This book was simply amazing!
Bowers is investigating the death of a senator's son, only it quickly becomes more complicated than a suicide. James brings multiple points of view together in this layered crime. Even the story lines that don't seem to have any affect on the investigation end up crossing into it.
There is so much going on, each character is well written, and the tension and puzzle keeps the pages turning. But it's truly the characters and their struggles that hit you square in the chest. Bowers has his new wife and 16 year old step daughter, watching their interactions is sweet and laughable. His wife is struggling with a heavy issue that sadly many people will be able to relate to. The quirky novelist has his own demons and Mannie the bodyguard is surprisingly noble. So, so much to love!
Even though this is book three in The New York Years series it can be read stand-alone. If you're in the mood for a gripping thriller that will leave you pondering regret and forgiveness, pick this one up!
