One of the first things that I will say about this novel is that it is a masterpiece. But, in addition to looking for Keith, Lucy also decides to investigate Karen’s past in order to work out who killed her and prevent Keith from falling under suspicion. ![]() ![]() The local police, especially their dog handler Julian ( a solitary man, tormented by guilt over a car crash that claimed his cousin’s life when he was younger), look into the case. It quickly becomes apparent that Keith has run away with the baby. Both Keith and Karen’s baby daughter are missing. She is Lucy’s neighbour, although they only talk to each other occasionally. So, she fled New York with the baby, a suitcase full of cash and a fake ID that she got made along the way. One of those women is a former New Yorker called Lucy Rosen, whose twelve-year old son Keith seems to be both the local school bully and a criminal-in-training.Īnother of those women is Karen, who used to be called Bethany until she realised that her husband was going to get custody of her daughter. This town is also a place where divorced women from across America sometimes find themselves living after they’ve left. A town where there is a heatwave every May and strange things happen. “Turtle Moon” takes place in the Florida town of Verity. ![]() This is the 2002 Vintage (UK) paperback edition of “Turtle Moon” that I read. ![]()
