This was a fun thriller with some really great twists and turns. Murder, mystery, close calls, and great escapes— this book had everything I was looking for. Make time to read this one because it's really hard to put this book down.

[Sophie Koufes · Rating 4 out of 5]

36 Righteous: A Serial Killer's Hit List is the sequel to The Torah Codes. A fast paced thriller encased in Jewish beliefs. Bursting with murder and mystery along with religion thrown into the mix. A fun thriller with twists intricately braided throughout this cryptogram.

[Paula Howard · Rating 5 out of 5]

36 Righteous: A Serial Killer's List is fast paced, intriguing, wrapped in a Jewish belief held by some that as long as 36 righteous live all is right. If they are all killed, it will usher in the end of the world. Standing between Armaggedon and the world is Nathan.

Nathan has checked out of Sophie's life. With Sophie's life endangered, he heads home to save the woman he loves. Sophie is one of the 35 Righteous. By the time that Nathan returns to the U.S., 33 have already been killed. Nathan will do anything to save Sophie including coming face to face with the lunatics wishing to bring in the end of times.

36 Righteous along with The Torah Codes is a combination of mystery, murder and a nice twist of religion in the mix. You can't go wrong with this series.

Even though book two has just been released, I am anxiously waiting for the next book in the series.
