Julius, Daphne du Maurier.
The life story of the titular character, who can only be described as a psychopath. Chilling at all times.
As expected, very well written, very well plotted, the characters are very realistic - especially Julius - so much so that it could be the biography of a real person.
Utterly compelling, I was stuck in the classic reader’s dilemma of being desperate to find out what happened next and not wanting it to end. I did manage to pace myself just correctly and thoroughly enjoyed this.
Highly recommended.
