In The Doll's House, a woman wakes up in captivity as a detective races against time to uncover a chilling mystery behind her disappearance.
In The Doll's House, a young woman awakens in a cold, dark cellar, gripped by fear and confusion. She has no recollection of how she got there or who her captor might be, which marks the beginning of her harrowing ordeal. As she struggles to escape her nightmare, the chilling discovery of another young woman's body on a remote beach adds a sinister layer to the unfolding mystery. This dead girl, however, was never reported missing, as her estranged family had been receiving regular texts from her for years, leading to questions about the true nature of her disappearance.
Detective Inspector Helen Grace is called to investigate the case, and she quickly realizes that she is dealing with a cunning predator—one who has a history of murder. The evidence suggests that someone has been keeping the missing woman alive, even after her death. As DI Grace delves deeper into the case, she faces the daunting task of understanding the killer's motivations, all while racing against time to prevent further tragedy.
M.J. Arlidge crafts a taut narrative filled with suspense and unexpected twists in The Doll's House. The story not only highlights the resilience of the human spirit but also explores the darker aspects of human nature. With a compelling protagonist in DI Helen Grace, this thriller promises to keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
