Dear Little Corpses by Nicola Upson
5.0
Nicola Upson's Josephine Tey mysteries are always a riveting and gripping read, books that mixes historical characters with fiction.
This one is darker than usual and some parts were heart wrenching.
The author did an excellent job in describing the atmosphere of the days before the start of WWII, the emotions, the darkness at the center of the story. It's a historical mystery with strong gothic elements and the first pages could work well for the start of a horror.
Josephine and the cast of characters are fleshed out and well developed as usual, the plot is well created and the twists surprised me.
It was an excellent reading experience that kept me hooked.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
