I enjoy mysteries, and pulled this one down to my kindle because I thought it was a great opportunity to read a new writer without a huge investment. I didn't get past the fourth chapter because I felt I was drowning in the Christianity-is-the-only-way message. If the characters were more realistic, I could have delt with a subtle Christan theme, but geeze, I'd have to be pretty self-righteous to feel good about myself after reading what I did of this book. So ultimately I couldn't take it seriously. No one is that good, which makes the characters were VERY two-dimensional. To the author: you don't have to hit people over the head with a bible to get their attention. You've hurt your message by being so heavy handed.
