Dear Little Corpses

A Josephine Tey Mystery, Book 10

It takes a village to bury a child …

1 September 1939. As the mass evacuation takes place across Britain, thousands of children leave London for the countryside. But when a little girl vanishes without a trace, the reality of separation becomes more urgent and more deadly for those who love her.

In the chaos and uncertainty of war, Josephine struggles with the prospect of change. As a cloud of suspicion falls across the small Suffolk village she has come to love, the conflict becomes personal, and events take a dark and sinister turn.

Blending a Golden Age mystery with the timeless fears of a child’s abduction, Dear Little Corpses is an atmospheric snapshot of England in the early days of war.

Immerse yourself in the world of Josephine they.

The dialogue and setting is expertly written. It feels that you are there. Upson is a cut above most writers of the genre. I have and will read all of this series.

Intriguing storyline.

The storyline of the evacuated girls kept my mystery solving mind busy. It was well narrated. Nicola Upson is truly a great mystery writer.

Perfectly fine Cozy-Dreadful

I found this novel to be not super-compelling but also not-objectionable when you are in the market for this genre.
