The Man in Black by L.R. Liverpool – Review by Allyson Ware
The Man In Black by L.R. Liverpool
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book started off hilarious. I loved knowing everything that Fenimore (Fenny or Simon if you prefer) is thinking down to his most intimate or silly thoughts. It really gives the reader a better idea of the main character, which is always great. The one thing I have to say about so much detail though, is that I wish the non important information was left out. There is so much detail that I felt like I had to weed through what information I needed for the plot and what information I did not need.
I also feel like with so much information, it could have been separated into smaller chapters. There was also confusion when the author used the first and last name interchangeably. When they were talking about Monty Parker, but instead of saying Monty, Parker was used to reference the character, I had to go back and re-read multiple times.
HOWEVER, this book has everything. It is historical fiction, mixed with LGBTQ+ romance, along with a mystery/thriller. I highly recommend to anyone looking to find a new, different book. I loved the characters, especially Simon and Monty. They are great characters with amazing personalities. Even though they are part of a gang, they are so kind and gentle as you get to know them. You will not regret picking this book up.
