This instalment was excellent. Peter provides the POV in Payback and Shoemaker does an excellent job in demonstrating the effect of Christ's love and grace through this storyline.
Peter has a crush on Maggie but she's got a stalker so being the gallant(?) jock that he sees himself to be he wants to find this guy and silence him. I quite liked how Shoemaker fictionalised a young Peter, the disciple of Jesus. I've always seen him as the jock of the twelve. And Jesus chose him to build the church.
Eli features prominently and we see his wisdom in how he navigates these tumultuous YA friends of his.
It's interesting that most of the disciples aren't yet Christians but clearly Eli's wisdom, love and sheer difference is having an impact.
Well written with good pace. I hope Tim Shoemaker writes some more episodes of this now engrossing series.

This one is, I think, the cleanest one out of the series, but I don't know cause I don't think I'm going to finish it, but I do recommend this one, and the rest of Tim Shoemaker's books.
