#4 Rowan Gant investigation, in which Rowan is once again stalked and terrorized by religious nut Eldon Porter. Eldon thinks of himself as God’s helper and is on a witch-hunt, and Gant is a self-professed Witch. When a member of Rowan and Felicity’s coven is found dead—tortured and disemboweled with a personal note for Rowan, he once again goes into high gear to try to figure out Porter’s next move and prevent any more loss of life. With the help of his good friend Ben Storm, a St. Louis detective on the Major Crimes Squad, Rowan has a leg up—however, Ben is teetering on the edge of respectability himself, especially with his new boss, “Bible Barb,” a right-wing Christian who, like the crazy Mr. Porter, has no knowledge of Pagan beliefs and thinks Rowan is a devil worshiper.

With plenty of fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat action, this book definitely classifies as a thriller and was hard to put down. Where it falls down is with believable dialogue and character development and a certain repetitiveness of themes. Much of the conflict and dialogue seems to be a re-hash of previous books and the dialogue always manages to sound somewhat stilted to my ear. And the constant and frequent descriptions of Rowan’s migraines and ‘seizures’ wore thin after awhile. I was a little confused (as a nurse) as to why no one suggested Rowan have a CT scan and get himself on some anti-seizure medication at some point. That, coupled with his crippling headaches, could easily signal a brain tumor or other serious physical abnormality—yet it’s always written off as just part of his psychic abilities manifesting itself. Still, it is refreshing to find at least a somewhat realistic picture of Pagan belief and practice portrayed. ( )

Book Description from Amazon:"Installment number four in the acclaimed Rowan Gant Investigations suspense-thriller series. The Law Of Three is a no holds barred follow up to Harm None, Never Burn A Witch, and Perfect Trust. THOU SHALT NOT SUFFER ROWAN GANT TO LIVE... "

I just deleted the rest of the Amazon review, as it is a major spoiler for Perfect Trust - so don't look there, if you haven't read that one yet... Rowan gets involved again with a serial killer and this time the killer takes a personal interest in him.

Excellent! Good fun, I am finally hooked for good! Books 5 to 7 are already on my shelf... His writing gets better with every book. And Rowan Gant's fetish with his wife's hair gets less and less pronounced with every outing. If the writing was a little less flowery and Sellars would drop about 10 or 20 adverbs and adjectivs each page, it would be downright spectacular. So far he wins the price for scary first sentences in a book every time... But the books are still very good. ( )
