Weirdo - Softcover
Corinne Woodrow was fifteen when she was convicted of murdering one of her classmates on a summer's evening in 1984, a year when the teenagers of Ernemouth ran wild, dressing in black and staying out all night, listening to music that terrified their parents.
Twenty years later, new forensic evidence suggests Corinne didn't act alone. Private investigator Sean Ward - whose promising career as a detective with the Met was cut short by a teenage gangster with a gun - reopens the case, and discovers a town full of dark secrets, and a community that has always looked after its own.
'A gripping tale of adolescent angst and genuine evil' Daily Telegraph
'An absorbing mystery, an extraordinarily powerful evocation of time and place' Guardian

Review:
"A worthy showcase for the author's undeniable skill." - Publisher's Weekly, starred review of Weirdo
Praise for Bad Penny Blues
"Bad Penny Blues is so fully a thing in itself, slowly developing its own rules, playing them, teaching them to the reader, breaking them, then enforcing them even more strongly, until, with the book over, the world does not look quite as settled as it did before the book started." Greil Marcus
"Bad Penny Blues is the English Black Dahlia and will establish Cathi Unsworth as the First Lady of Noir Fiction." - David Peace
Praise for The Singer
"A cracking page-turner that feels authentic, authoritative and evocative. And it’s beautifully written. This is a bloody good book." - Val McDermid
"An astonishingly evocative and emotional telling of the tale, a heartbreaking elegy for the blank generation." - Jake Arnott
