A review by itsanatnat
Engleby by Sebastian Faulks
5.0
If you've got any connection to Cambridge, then the setting of this book is an extra little hidden thrill, as Faulks uses the historical town to set his intriguing little mystery and you should definitely read this.
If you've not got any connection to Cambridge in your life, then read it anyway because it is a damn good book. It's enduringly quirky, suspenseful and leaves you with a bittersweet taste in your mouth. This book doesn't pretend to be anything it's not; despite it's setting it's not pretentious (as things associated with Cambridge Uni often are) and it's riveting enough to see you through to the end.
Thoroughly recommended!
