Eyes of Elisha
by Brandilyn Collins
First in the Chelsea Adams Series
The murder was ugly.
The killer was sure no one saw him.
Someone did.
Book Description:In a horrifying vision, Chelsea Adams has relived the victim’s last
moments. But who will believe her? Certainly not the police, who
must rely on hard evidence. Nor her husband, who barely tolerates
Chelsea’s newfound Christian faith. Besides, he’s about to hire the
man who Chelsea is certain is the killer to be a vice president in his
company.
Torn between what she knows and the burden of proof, Chelsea
must follow God’s leading and trust him for protection. Meanwhile,
the murderer is at liberty. And he’s not about to take Chelsea’s
involvement lying down.

My Review: ♥ ♥ ♥Collin’s novels are filled with suspense and surprize and keep the reader on the edge of his or her seat. This novel was no different in that respect. At times, I couldn’t put it down. I had to find out what happened next, and this novel was very well written. I could feel the emotions and tension throughout the book. The story did drag on a little in places but picked up at lightening speed in other places. The main fault I found is the ending left me unsatisfied. Too many loose ends weren’t tied up, and I felt myself upset with and sympathetic with the wrong characters. It was a good read though.
