Title: Unsatisfying
Product review: The situation that the Guernsey islanders found themselves during WW II is presented. The murder of a girl who had collaborated with the occupiers seems interesting until the murderer and motive are revealed, and then that ALL falls flat. The solution was very unsatisfying as was the aftermath. I felt that much of the writing was disjointed. The author seems intent on giving personalities and backgrounds for characters that go on interminably for pages and with few periods or paragraphs, often with little reason for the hundreds of minifacts related. I read the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society which piqued my interest in the Channel Islands during that time. Loved that book. The book seems to have 2 titles: Lying with the Enemy and Island Madness. Can't imagine why. Lying with the Enemy seems the best to me.
