Religion in Mysteries and Thrillers

[Echelon Press]

I have noticed lately that there are a tremendous number of religious themes found in the mystery and thriller genres.

Dan Brown, Steve Berry, James Rollins, and tons more.

I am pretty new to these genres, but it seems to me that they are quite large in numbers. Is this one of those pahses the industry is going through or have I just not noticed it before.

By the way if anyone is looking for an excellent read, I highly suggest MAP OF BONES by James Rollins.
