Query: A Trial of Innocents

The book was average, with characters who were a bit flat. The twists at the end were good, but a bit contrived. But approximately a quarter of the book is proselytizing for the Christian faith and has little to do with the plot of the book. Because of the length of the book and the amount of time the author spent on the Christian religion, the plot and character development were a bit rushed. The author is a good writer and sections of the book were very well written. But the book appeared to have the secondary goal of proselytizing.
