Elisha's Bones by Don Hoesel - Reviewed by Emilee Iseminger

The bones of the prophet once raised the dead to life... but they vanished from history in a whisper. Now Jack Hawthorne, part-time skeptic and full-time professor of archaeology, is enlisted to sift them from the sands of time. Bankrolled by a dying man of unlimited means, Hawthorne's hunt spans the globe and leads him into a deadly conspiracy older than the church itself. And he soon discovers those sworn to keep the secret of the bones will do anything to protect them.

Elisha's bones is the type of book you don't like while your reading, but after your done you at least semi-like it.
It's written in first person, which at least for me was hard to get used to. This book has a great story with a few twists in it so it keeps you interested. All and all I enjoyed the book. It was worth the read because of the story. The writing is not all that great, but if you stick with it, it pays off in the end.
I'd recommend this book to someone who does not over critique or who does not need perfect writing.
I'd give it two and a half (out of five) stars.

Not my favorite, but I am glad that I read it.
