When the history professor Charlie Bright is found murdered brutally in his own home, the police rule it as a case of domestic violence. PI Martin Preuss has no intention to get entangled into an ongoing police investigation, but on the insistence of the victim\u2019s friends, he agrees to look into the matter, unaware the twisting trail will lead him to a shocking truth. Levin reveals a deeper strength in the introspective Preuss, who knows how to appreciate the smaller delights that life has to offer. Angie\u2019s excruciating struggles, Toby\u2019s heartfelt obliviousness to the usual harsh ways of the world, unexpected plot twists, and plenty of human drama that keeps the reader deeply invested, all add up to an outstanding read. Themes of human strength, regret, guilt, and redemption play out nicely in the main story arc, as Preuss, Manny, and Angie navigate their individual burdens. Levin deserves a wide readership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In the House of Night<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">(A Martin Preuss Mystery Book 7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Donald Levin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poison Toe Press<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/House-Night-Donald-Levin-ebook\/dp\/B08JRN7HVL\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date September 17., 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISBN \u200e 978-0997294170<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $18.95 (USD) Paperback, $4.97 Kindle edition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Un-put-downable\u2026 Levin\u2019s seventh in A Martin Preuss Mystery series offers thrills of an immaculately crafted mystery and sharp insights into human behavior.
