Book Review:
Julia Thomas’s debut novel embodies the true definition of literature - a written body of work with artistic and intellectual value. The English Boys is a brilliant story, and Thomas certainly tells it with a clever finesse.
This murder mystery is set in modern-day England with a very intriguing plot - a young British actor in love with his best friend’s bride becomes a suspect, along with close family and friends, after the bride is found murdered moments before her vows.
Although multiple POVs are used, the story is mainly told from Daniel Richardson’s POV. Through Richardson’s character, the reader travels through an emotional journey of love, grief, anger, and trauma of discovering secrets of those closest to you.
This book is a suspenseful must-read if you are a fan of murder-mysteries - a solid five-star book! Just remember that you can never really know another person. One can never truly decipher another person's motivation; therefore, everyone remains a suspect. Preorder now, and enjoy on July 8th.
