Biography

Stephen Wilson is an American author. His first book was, "Harvey Couch - An Entrepreneur Brings Electricy to Arkansas", published in 1986 by August House publishers. He also has won awards for his screenplays which have been presented by the Writer's Workshop program at the American Film Institute. His latest work, "The White River Killer" was developed as part of the Summer Words program at the Aspen Institute.

All right, here is where I crack my knuckles and get to writing, because this is a very jam-packed book. 

I think the best part of this story is that it makes you ask questions. Every good book makes you ask questions. What's going on? Who is who? How do they relate to the story? What's going to happen next? Stephen M Wilson is a master at making the reader ask questions.

John Riley, the main character, is a very well developed character, with fears, flaws, and desires. He also has a past that keeps haunting him, especially when it comes to the death of his father. But when he's asked to cover the story of a grisly murder, all those ghosts he's tried to bury come back to haunt him. Honestly, I wouldn't be in his shoes for the world, but he does make a very compelling main character.

Mr. Wilson paints a vivid landscape for his murder mystery thriller. There is just enough detail so that you know exactly what to envision, but not too much that you can't insert your own ideas of what things look like. And he does an excellent job of creating the mood, especially tension. I was on the edge of my seat almost the entire time.

Like any good book, I think the touch of romance was nice. I would, personally, love to see how that romance develops, and think that there might be further adventures for this young man, maybe as an investigative reporter? I wouldn't mind ready any sequels Mr. Wilson chooses to write.
