THE HANDYMAN BY BENTLEY LITTLE is a 10 on my creepy meter! Mr. Little takes an innocuous subject and turns it into something to be feared. This time its Mr.Frank Watkins, neighborhood handyman & house builder & remodeler. On the outside, Frank seems to be everyone's go to guy for building and remodeling homes, but Daniel Martin soon learns that Frank is more, way more.Daniel as a child learns that Frank is wrong, just plain wrong! He and his brother Billy cant stand to even be near him without getting that creepy feeling. Without giving away too much of the plot, Billy dies & Daniel knows its Franks fault. Fast forward to Daniel's adulthood with Frank surfaces again. Daniel knows this man spreads evil in every home he enters and Daniel knows no matter what it takes, the evil must be destroyed!
I have been a Bentley Little fan for a long time and I am one who loves to re-read his books just for the thrill of it & THE HANDYMAN will be no exception. Its definitely one to keep and re-read again.
I guess I'm one of those who love to read books that scare me to death & keep me awake at night & Bentley Little definitely is one of my favorite authors to do just that.
