The Doll Maker
The Doll Maker | Richard Montanari
4 posts | 10 read | 1 to read
Mr Marseille is polite, elegant, and erudite. He would do anything for his genteel true love Anabelle. And he is a psychopath. A quiet Philadelphia suburb. A woman cycles past a train depot with her young daughter. And there she finds a murdered girl posed on a newly painted bench. Strangled. Beside her is a formal invite to a tea dance in a week's time. Seven days later, two more young victims are discovered in a disused house, posed on painted swings. At the scene is an identical invite. This time, though, there is something extra waiting for Detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano. A delicate porcelain doll. It's a message. And a threat. With Marseille and Anabelle stalking the city, Detectives Byrne and Balzano have just seven days to find the link between the murders before another innocent child is snatched from its streets.

This is the 8th in a detective series, but I haven‘t read the others. This was just picked up some time, probably in a charity shop! However I didn‘t really need to know anything about the previous books apart from the fact that the detectives work together 🤷🏼‍♀️

It was a good story tying in lots of threads. Though there were some bits that didn‘t seem to add up with the killer. I would have liked a bit more about them.

Hundred pages in I discovered that I was reading the 8th book of a series. But by then it was already to late.
I was caught in Montanari's Web and just couldn't put the book down.

I will most definitely go find and read all his other published work. I discovered a new favorite.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Loved this book. It was a super quick read, I barely put it down all weekend. I love this mystery series and find that it is completely underrated. It definitely deserves to be talked about way more than it is. For sure recommend!
