This is one of the best thrillers I’ve read in the last few years, and I read a lot of them. I bought it last week for full price and it was well worth the money. I just picked up the sequel yesterday, called Mighty and Strong and it has hooked me. I plan to lose some sleep tonight until I find out what happens.

I found this deal doing a Google search to try to find a discussion group or blog review about the book. Even though I already read the book I wanted to chime in. The Righteous is one of the most unusual and wonderful books I’ve read in the last year or two. I almost couldn’t put this down from the first sentence on. I was surprised to see it’s on sale so cheap.
I found this book because of Martha’s Bookshelf, which is a great blog for reading reviews of unusual books, rather than the same old serial killer story I’ve seen a zillion times.
