Visitors From Hell

Summary: Visitors
Review: "Visitors From Hell" is probably not a book that I would have chosen after reading the back cover review. But, read it, I did. And, after I got started, I couldn't put it down. It might be that my Italian ancestory and my Catholic background played a part in keeping me interested. But, I also have to admit that the evil associated with the monastery priests and the devil infected praybook are not a part of my thinking and beliefs. I even felt a little guilty continuing to read the passages as such reading was against my church and my own convictions.The story is a combination of the "Exercist" and the "Godfather", and these two storylines kept coming back to me. But, it also has qualities all of its own. I was enthalled with the details given into the lives of the priests and their monastery lives. I feel that the author was very sincere and knowledgeable in his writing. He certainly did a good job finding ways to give background information and knowing when the reader needed to know more.I was, however, concerned with the many grammar problems that should have been caught by a good editor.I certainly recommend this mystery and look forward to more novels by Edmund Andracki.

Summary: Captivating Mystery
Review: A captivating mystery by an unknown author that is centered on the devil and exorcism. It leaves a lasting impression of authenticity, yet it is weaved with imagination, intrigue and even sex. Although wholly different in backgrounds and purpose, and utterly unprepared to perform an exorcism, Fathers Dominick and Thomas commit themselves to expel the devil from the praybook that has caused pain, suffering, and death. The author pays great attention to detail and consistency, yet the story unfolds rapidly into a mystery that captivates you to the last page.
