It took a few chapters for me to get into it, but once I did, I found it to be a fresh take on the usual zombie fare and the suspense builds up to a great nail biting climax. In this story, the dead come back to life, but not as the usual brain-sucking ghouls, outwardly they are quite normal looking & appear to be the same as when they were alive. At first, the townspeople think they are the recipients of a miracle from God - but when it happens over & over again, a handful of people start thinking that something more diabolical is at work and try to find out the truth before they too fall victim to this sp-called miracle.
It kind of reminded me a little of the sci-fi movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers - and I look forward to reading more from this auther.
