For a crime thriller this is ridiculously easy to read. It‘s fast paced and well written, peaking the readers interest from the offset and holding it steady throughout the book. The characters are well rounded and there are a few unexpected twists in the tale which is always a bonus. It‘s not my favourite genre but I enjoyed The House of Dolls enough to add a few more crime thrillers to my TBR pile! Touché David Hewson.
