Unlike the last time I was so anxious to read one of her books, this one didn't let me down.

It brought back (briefly) Ian Fletcher, who is a good character and goes along with the rather religious theme. The main issue was the death sentence. And it wasn't too disgustingly preachy. One of the main characters was overweight for a change.

It was, however, quite predictable - well, perhaps not at the very end, but it was easy to figure out that the molester wasn't who was convicted of it - I guessed that very early on and was glad to be right.

I did like how the miracle at the end kept you wondering. And I'm quite curious to see where she will go next, though it seems I'll have at least a full year to wait. Oh, and while it did follow her formula, it was fresher than _Nineteen Minutes_.
