Autumn, 1940, and London is in the grip of the Blitz. An unidentified female corpse is discovered in an alleyway in Soho - the fourth to have been found in a matter of weeks.

Rene is a Soho prostitute with a young son to support. She's learnt to cope with the air-raids, but each night on the streets is a terrifying ordeal as the killer begins to pick off her friends. Lucy is a young, middle-class office worker living with her family in Clapham, struggling to make sense of things as her peaceful suburban life degenerates into chaos. Jim is a fighter pilot, handsome and much admired for his heroism in battle. The killer instinct makes him perfectly suited to the daily challenge he faces in the skies of southern England, but the strain is beginning to tell.

In ordinary circumstances, their paths might never have crossed, but in war-torn London, anything can happen. One night a bomb falls, with terrifying consequences for them all...

Descripción del producto

Críticas

'The uneasy atmosphere of blackout London is finely conveyed, the dark alleys, the crowded air-raid shelters, the forced cheerfulness and the ever present threat provide the perfect setting. The many moral and socio-sexual issues embedded here never distract from the total effect of this gripping novel.' (NEWBOOKSMAG)

Roman Clodia

A superb evocation of the London Blitz

Revisado en Reino Unido el 31 de diciembre de 2013

Compra verificada

This is a difficult one to rate and review: Wilson is excellent at evoking the darkness of the London Blitz, and the terror of aerial combat. Her characters are rounded and interesting, and her writing is always fluent... and yet, there's something unsatisfying about this book overall.

I think that it's the way it seems to lack narrative structure and drive: someone is killing prostitutes in London but we know who it is, how he's doing it, and why (ish). No-one seems to be investigating the murders, or be particularly bothered by them (ok, I know there's a war on, but even so...), and the text itself isn't about uncovering the crime. So it's not a whodunit, or a whydunnit though, to be fair, I liked the lack of clear and glib reasons for why someone might be a psychopathic killer.

So this is enjoyable for its superb evocation of war: the nightly bombing raids, the air-raid shelters, the febrile excitement for girls of glamorous fighter pilots and jobs. Wilson makes an intriguing attempt at decentring the traditional crime novel, but at the same time that very lack of an overriding structure makes this feel a little lax and loose. An interesting experiment, but I prefer Wilson's Stratton books: 3.5 stars.

Fizzles out at the end

Revisado en Reino Unido el 30 de julio de 2014

Compra verificada

I chose this book because I wanted a light read and I know Laura Wilson from her Stratton series - which I love.

She has a great facility for capturing war-torn London - and for drawing ordinary characters who find themselves doing immensely courageous things just because of the times in which they live. Much of the novel is set in Soho, an area of London I know well, and which, even into the 1970's hosted sleazy little flats and much street prostitution - so I could see Rene' s 'patch' pretty clearly. Rene herself is a well drawn and likeable character - the whore with a heart of gold - but sufficiently fleshed-out for the reader to have a clear grasp of how and why she finds herself where she is. Lucy too is a nicely drawn character, a real sense of a young woman longing to stretch the boundaries. Ultimately though this was a three star read because I felt the story lost its way and ultimately fizzled out. Okay, but she's written much better books.

Murder in WWII London

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 9 de octubre de 2005

Compra verificada

If Barbara Vine/Ruth Rendell is to have proper successor, well, here she is, Laura Wilson. The story itself is a relatively simple one. Set in London under siege of the WWII Blitz from the very start we find the body of a brutally murdered woman--the fourth found in a short period of time. We then watch events unfold from the past leading up to this inevitable but terrifying act through the eyes of three people: a young fighter pilot with a disturbing secret, a prostitute with a child to support, and a young female office worker learning the ways of the world in this devastating setting. The beauty of each nerrative is how authentic each sounds as the chapters alternate from one character's point of view to another. This technique allows the reader to view events from different perspectives and provides unusual character depth, but it also builds nervy suspense as the reader becomes attached to these characters and doesn't quite know the what will happen to them. We think one of them will be killed (as shown in the beginning), but who? The intertwining nerratives also reflect the upredictable intertwining of these three lives leading up to that one tragic, inevitable murder. Laura Wilson creates an authentic, atmospheric rendering of WWII London, and its denizens struggling to survive it through the brutal events. I can't imagine what it would have been like to survive it, but the author has done that for me brilliantly.
