Elysium Tide by James R. Hannibal

My Review

Elysium Tide by James R. Hannibal is a modern day story of a London workaholic neurosurgeon who is forced to take time off in Maui. Instead of relaxing he pushes himself into a police investigation. This story is filled with action, suspense and mystery from the very start. This is a story that is hard to put down, from car chases to trying to get the bad guys, the characters have little down time.

The Christian aspect of this book is very mild and is mainly shown through how the characters care for others. Yet when Dr. Chesterfield continually gets hurt he questions what happens when you die, does life just end or is there more.

I voluntarily received a complimentary copy of this book, this is my honest review.

About the Book

Dr. Peter Chesterfield is one of the Royal London Hospital’s top neurosurgeons. He is also a workaholic, ordered by his boss to take a week off to attend a medical symposium at the luxurious Elysium Grand on the island of Maui. While there, Peter pulls a woman with a skull fracture from the water. Though he is able to revive her in the ambulance, she eventually dies in his arms, leaving him with only one clue to what happened to her: the word “honu.”

Increasingly obsessed with discovering the cause of his patient’s death, Peter becomes entangled in an ongoing investigation of a brazen luxury auto theft. He also becomes a source of deep irritation to detective Lisa Kealoha, who has jurisdiction over the case.
But when the two join forces, they begin to uncover a destructive plot that runs far deeper than either of them could have imagined. And if they’re not careful, they’re both going to end up dead.

If he tells you the chocolate cake you offered smells blue and sticky, take it as a compliment.
