A review by bluestarfish
Without the Moon by Cathi Unsworth

1.0

Several women get murdered someone gets arrested and then the second half of the book begins with a new (sort of) story. Afterwards I found out this based on true crime so I wonder if that's why it felt like there was no plot developments, things just plodded along (oh here's a body, oh here's the murderer). And if you write about murders during a war time surely the blackout curtains aren't the most interesting thing about it? Maybe I'm just grumpy as the protagonist is a death penalty apologist? I do get the feeling I've read a totally different book as I didn't get any of the "tense and eerie thriller" promised on the back.
