3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
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 trace, the reality of separation becomes more desperate 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.

I found the first part of the novel to be a bit slow, and the last part to be a bit rushed. But the middle is fantastic. It tells about the exodus of children from London just before the outbreak of WWII as well as about a girl gone missing. It is truly heartbreaking.

There is, I think, real unbalance among the different elements if the story, but in the end, l enjoyed it.

As the mass evacuation takes place across Britain, thousands of children leave London for the countryside. When a little girl vanishes without a trace, the reality of separation becomes more urgent and more deadly for those who love her. This is the first book of the ten books of Josephine Tey series that I have read. It can be read as a standalone so that is not a problem.

EadieB The setting, characters, and plot were intriguing enough to keep me turning the pages until the very end. If you like Golden Age mystery with a timeless fears of a child‘s abduction, then you will love this one. I would like to thank NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for a copy for an honest review. 2y
rubyslippersreads I‘m also fascinated by books about child evacuees in WWII, so this sounds right up my alley. 2y
