The novel has a chilling start. And a surprising finish. With an interesting mystery novel twist. Because the eye-witness didnt witness the crime. She saw it through a God-given vision.
The premise was enough to give me chills and the opening of the novel quickly maintains that edgy quality. Chelsea is an incredibly likeable and sympathetic heroine. She doesnt want these visions, but because of her faith is convicted to make sure the proper people know what she has seen.
Now, Im not usually the terribly bright reader that spots the villain before he/she is revealed and this book did leave me in the dark to who did it. But by the time the book closed, every doubt I might have had about this twist being pulled out at a desperate last minute, was completely erased.
Middle to end of the book slowed a bit for a murder mystery I thought and became more wordy. The ending didnt hold that gripping suspense that Ive become used too, but I will say one of the last scenes was especially well written. I was right therebut I dare not say more for spoilers.
I did like the courtroom scene, though a bit wordy, the back and forth dialogue fling was like I was watching the lawyer shout, objection!
Often chilling word pictures, likeable main character and deep spiritual truths. Eyes of Elisha is a well-rounded suspense novel.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publisher for my copy to review.
