A stormy spring morning in a sleepy Alabama town, nothing exciting ever happens in Eastaboga. Life here is slow, like molasses poured from a refrigerator. For the town librarian, Hannah Steiner, days are filled with stamping books, clock watching, and of course, planning her upcoming retirement. However, for Hannah, things are about to change. In from a storm a handsome young man with dark hair and eyes enter the library, stirring up emotions in Hannah she has not felt in years. His name is Mr. Leviticus. A pleasant invitation over a cup of coffee has Hannah listening to his latest writing project, a collection of stories about the Holocaust. A subject in which Hannah is reluctantly familiar. But soon Hannah realizes these are not ordinary stories. There is something hauntingly true and terrifyingly real about them, and the handsome Mr. Leviticus is not quite as charming as he seems. All who have read Mr. Leviticus have been touched by it. A combination of history, suspense, and the supernatural, Mr. Leviticus will sweep you into a time of pain and suffering, of conflict and violence. A time we may face again if we refuse to learn from our mistakes. This story will disturb you, possess you, and if you are human, drive you to tears. We hope you enjoy your visit with Mr. Leviticus, and hopefully take something positive from the encounter.
Wow! I can't think of a better word to describe it. I truly enjoyed this book. It had all of my favorite qualities. It never dragged, it made me laugh and cry, and it terrified the daylights out of me. I hope if I ever have to encounter this Mr. Leviticus I'm on his good side.
One of the best books I've read in a while. It had several twists and turns you just didn't see coming. And Christian Brenner. What a trip. I don't want to spoil it for anyone but once you read about him you will never think of evil the same way.
