Without the Moon by Cathi Unsworth

5.0

"Without the Moon" is Cathi Unsworth's new book is amazing. I am so happy I picked up this book. This author is amazing at crime stories set in the past. This book in particular is set in London during World War 2.

During this time in London is a dark time and place. It is set in noir, with blackened streets, battered neighbors are multiple issues plaguing the city. There are criminals, robbers, prostitutes a plenty. The city is frustrated and most are hoping for a better life. There are even some interesting fortune-tellers to spice things up again. The world that this book is set in is very descriptive and pulls you in.

Unfortunately like most books there are people that are looking to cause ruckus and trouble. The kind of trouble that ends up in violence and murder. The author weaves a story woven together with terror as well as courage.

The real heros of these book are interesting and they are female. This is an powerful story, one with real heart. I enjoyed how the story was mixed with mesmerizing details. I loved the mix of real life events and imaginary one. The atmosphere was fun. The characters were memorable.
