The Man in Black by L.R. Liverpool – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras

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

This was an enjoyable wild west thriller which I enjoyed. I’ve not read a book based in the Wild West for a long time, so I was pleasantly surprised when reading this by just how much I was enjoying it.
The plot was intriguing and unique, and the book was written well – the descriptive language used painted vivid pictures of both the scenes and characters.
Fenimore/Simon was an interesting character. Leaving a small ton life for the ‘glory’ of life as an outlaw was an interesting plot point. Then the mystery thriller elements, the character truly develops as he navigates sexuality and life within the gang. I love seeing character development so this was a great thing to see.
I liked that this wasn’t the typical western story, there was a lot more to it. The length of the book didn’t put me off, I adore long books, but feel like this may put some readers off. Give it a chance, you may surprise yourself.
