Saverio Monachino's latest psychological thriller, 'Little Bit of Faith', has recently achieved bestseller status in the Mystery Thriller and Suspense category in the Kindle store. Known for blending elements of humor and psychological depth, Monachino's work delves into complex themes such as the human condition, faith, and the nature of belief.
'Little Bit of Faith' is inspired by Monachino's own life experiences, including a traumatic brain injury that left him in a coma. Upon regaining consciousness, Monachino channeled his recovery process and reflections into this gripping narrative. The book offers a unique exploration of the human mind, combining rich character development with an engaging storyline that leaves readers pondering profound existential questions.
The narrative centers on Dr. Arthur McAiden, a patient at the Kessler Institute, and his neuropsychologist, Dr. Emily Selwood. Struggling to string together coherent thoughts after his accident, McAiden begins to write down his experiences. What starts as a recount of his accident soon evolves into a complex story that blurs the lines between reality and fiction. Dr. Selwood, initially skeptical of McAiden's accounts, finds herself questioning the nature of existence and the continuum of life as characters from McAiden's writings seemingly come to life.
In a recent interview with Theresa O'Brien for the Lehigh Valley Press, Monachino discussed the inspiration behind 'Little Bit of Faith'. O'Brien noted that Monachino's experiences in intensive and outpatient rehab, along with his musings on love and belief, significantly influenced the book. The narrative challenges readers to consider what is real and how we define reality.
To celebrate the book's success, Monachino announced a free ebook giveaway of 'Little Bit of Faith' on August 20 and August 21, 2024.

Set in Montreal, the story follows Inspector Gervais as he navigates a series of bizarre and intriguing events to solve a murder case. Both 'By Any Means' and 'Little Bit of Faith' are available on Amazon.
