Elysium Tide
by James R. Hannibal
| -From Amazon- Dr. Peter Chesterfield is the top neurosurgeon at the Royal London Hospital. He's also a workaholic, and after a blow-up with a colleague, his boss orders him to attend a medical symposium at the luxurious Elysium Grand on the island of Maui. During a midnight walk on the beach, Peter pulls a woman with a skull fracture from the water. Despite all his skill, she dies in his arms, leaving him with only one clue to what happened to her: the word "honu." Obsessed with finding the cause of his patient's death--discovering what or who ripped the power over life and death from his surgeon's hands--Peter becomes entangled in an ongoing investigation. He also becomes a source of deep irritation to detective Lisa Kealoha, who has jurisdiction over the case. The reluctant pair join forces, diving deep into Maui's evolving gang culture, and unearth a conspiracy that runs deeper than either could have imagined. Knowing too much is deadly--and they must catch the killer before the killer catches them. ISBN-13: 978-0800738518 Obsession & determination meet to catch a killer... I'll admit that it took me awhile to get into the story at first. I just seemed to dawdle for longer than I should have through the first few chapters, but, then, there was a shift in either the storyline or in my attention span because I took off reading like crazy and pretty much finished Elysium Tide in a single afternoon. |  This Book received a 4 Bark rating.

I'm pretty new to Jame R. Hannibal's fiction. Up until now I'd only read one of his YA fantasy titles, which, quite obviously, was a totally different genre than Elysium Tide. Fantasy and Thriller are two very different genres so I wondered if James R. Hannibal would be able pull both of them off successfully. The answer is yes he did.
You ever read one of those books with more twists and turns than a freeway interchange in a major city? Where the case seems closed, but it's not, more than once? Yeah, Elysium Tide was one of those. While I had bits and pieces figured out there were so many threads and tentacles to this mystery that I was kept guessing and even surprised a few times.
My second read from James R. Hannibal was a good one for sure. With most of Christian fiction seeming to be penned by women these days it is always fun and interesting to read something written from the male perspective. With that difference and the fact that Elysium Tide is more mystery driven than romance, it can appeal to male and female readers alike – which is a positive thing in my estimation. Now, I'm just hoping to find out that James R. Hannibal might have a sequel to this book coming sometime...
