This book was fun to read and engaging.
I love this thriller that mixes religious and the adventurous elements to create a book that you cannot put down.
Even though I knew Glenn Cooper this was his first book I read and I can he can surely create fascinating and entertaining plots.
The plot was interesting, fast paced and I was hooked since the first pages.
I liked the cast of characters and look forward to reading other books in this series.
Highly recommended.

Three Marys, the second religious conspiracy novel to feature Harvard Professor of archaeology and religion Cal Donovan, is a superb thriller, and it's clear the author, who has written many other books that take inspiration from well known Bible stories, is comfortable filling this niche area of the market. The story is well written, soundly plotted and is an exciting, intriguing read. It held my interest throughout. Cal is such an interesting and unusual character, and I liked him despite his appalling behaviour towards women. There is action aplenty for the duration, and the pacing is excellent. Although I am not religious I am always fascinated by books in which religion is heavily featured. This is a satisfying and entertaining novel. I look forward to the third instalment!
