[She] has created a brilliant, swirling maelstrom of a story. The main strength in Unsworth’s writing has always been her terrific evocation of time and place, and she really plays to that strength here. The vision of London after nightfall is amazing, an intermingling of prostitutes, spivs, pimps, villains, cops, communists, soldiers, journalists and psychics, hanging out in dark alleyways, dodgy bars, seedy hotels. The sense of despair is palpable . . . Without the Moon is a wonderfully evoked piece of period noir, and a properly gripping story to boot.","OtherText_Quote_from_review_1":"a terrific mood piece and a fine wartime thriller","OtherText_Quote_from_review_2":"Brilliant and brave, Without the Moon blends murder and magic to create a vision of London as a spiritual maze.

It is full of atmosphere and suspense with an engaging cast of characters, especially DCI Edward Greenaway. I hope he returns again soon.”","OtherText_Quote_from_review_5":"Few writers can match her extraordinary capacity to capture the atmosphere of a louche, bygone London and the mood of its people . . . Unsworth paints a mesmerizing picture as DCI Edward Greenaway wanders through the blacked-out city.","OtherText_Quote_from_review_6":"It practically out Hamiltons Patrick Hamilton in its sense of menace and place, conducting a kind of séance with that bombed-out but brassy London of the war-torn 1940s.

[She] has created a brilliant, swirling maelstrom of a story. The main strength in Unsworth’s writing has always been her terrific evocation of time and place, and she really plays to that strength here. The vision of London after nightfall is amazing, an intermingling of prostitutes, spivs, pimps, villains, cops, communists, soldiers, journalists and psychics, hanging out in dark alleyways, dodgy bars, seedy hotels. The sense of despair is palpable . . . Without the Moon is a wonderfully evoked piece of period noir, and a properly gripping story to boot.","OtherText_Review_10":"It is a thoroughly absorbing venture into a past where Londoners were stretched to their breaking point and order threatened to disappear.","OtherText_Review_10_Src":"Reviewing the Evidence","OtherText_Review_1_Src":"Independent","OtherText_Review_2":"Brilliant and brave, Without the Moon blends murder and magic to create a vision of London as a spiritual maze.

This noir book is based on a series of true crimes, including four murders perpetrated by the so-called Blackout Ripper, that took place during the 1942 Blitz and blackouts in London. With this material for a foundation, Unsworth puts her fictional Detective Chief Inspector Edward Greenaway of Scotland Yard in charge of the investigations, which grow to include a fifth murder by a copycat killer (also drawn from real life).
