The Man in Black by L.R. Liverpool

The Man In Black by L.R. Liverpool
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a historical fiction thrill ride full of intrigue, mystery, murder and romance, then this is definitely for you.

The Man in Black by L.R. Liverpool follows Fenimore James as he leaves home to pursue and achieve his fantasy of becoming an outlaw. He succeeds by becoming Simon Shaw. The adventures he imagined take a dangerous turn when he joins the Red Evans gang, and they start getting murdered one by one. Through all of this, Shaw is still able to fall in love, but that can be just as dangerous.

This is a book that will stay with you well after you finish. The character development and world building were well done by the author. One stand out is how well the author handled the intricacies of self identification and sexuality with grace and sensitivity.

Once you get to part two, this novel is full of suspense, well-rounded, and flawed characters and will keep you turning the page until the end.

Happy Reading!
