Midnight Burning was a fascinating and unique read—my first from Paul Levine, and definitely a 5-star experience. Blending historical fiction with a suspenseful twist, the story brings together real figures like Einstein and Chaplin to uncover and stop a Nazi plot targeting prominent Hollywood names. Most of the characters and events are based on reality, though many were new to me, which made the read even more engaging. Levine’s writing is sharp and immersive, and I appreciated learning about lesser-known historical events through such an entertaining lens.

The engaging and timely storyline kept me captivated. The dynamic between real-life friends Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin is particularly enjoyable; their contrasting skills and personalities create a compelling partnership.

Readers who enjoy historical fiction will find this an entertaining and interesting read.

An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!

Such an entertaining book. Were Charlie Chaplin and Albert Einstein friends? I like to think so. An interesting and original book with twists and turns set in pre WW2 USA.
