Author: Trevor Berry

Evidence – the Mystery of the Jezreel Scroll

Trevor Berry

Publisher: Self-Published

I really enjoyed reading this novel, a first from the pen of Trevor Berry. The characters throughout (both historical and fictional) remain true and believable and contribute to keep the story together. From the historical perspective I especially enjoyed the characterization of David and of course Jared, the narrator. Suffice it to say that the fictionalization inspired me to examine my own relationship with the Lord, and also to take stock of how I worship. If I had to read this novel just for that experience it would have been worth it.

My only constructive criticism is more on a personal and aesthetic level; the size of the book is not travel friendly, being a little larger than standard paperbacks; the paper it is printed on is a high quality paper (and you are thinking… Yes?), making the book rather heavy for a paperback edition.

This is a book that I can recommend with confidence, knowing that whoever picks it up to read will not be disappointed. Copies are available from the author at www.trevorberry.org.
