A review by the_b00kreader
The Englishman by David Gilman

4.0

**TW**
This book contains details of violence, murder, torture, mutilation, sex scenes, etc. If a sensitive reader this book may not be for you.

The first couple of chapters was confusing but, after a while, the book became entertaining and left me saying 'just one more chapter'.
The middle part of the book is where all the action really was. The tension, the gasps, the excitement, it was all in the middle. You could tell that a lot of thought went into writing and creating this book and I really loved that I could see that.

There was a certain scene that had me in tears. I was like 'wait-hold up, did that actually happen!?' And yes, yes it did. Ahh!! If you've read this book you probably know what scene I'm talking about.

Raglan's character was presented as being very mysterious, smart and creative. I feel like there is still so much more to learn about him! I'd love to know more of his background and even his childhood! I'd find that really interesting!

The Englishman is a tense and exciting book that leaves the reader anticipating the next move.
Gilman has cleverly written this book in a way that immediately grasps the readers attention. I was definitely interested in this story and was even more curious about Raglan's character.

The ending, I must admit, felt slightly rushed. It was as though Gilman just wanted the book to be over and done with.

But, overall I loved this vividly described story and would definitely read more of David Gilman's books!
