'I love the Children's House series and Yrsa delivers again with
The Doll. Such engaging characters and a compelling, twisted and
creepy mystery - I couldn't put it down!' SHARI LAPENA 'Yrsa is a
wonderful storyteller. Her stories are atmospheric, mysterious and
brilliantly plotted ... you will never see the twists coming' MARI
HANNAH 'A magnificent writer' KARIN SLAUGHTER It was meant to be a
quiet family fishing trip, a chance for mother and daughter to
talk. But it changes the course of their lives forever. They catch
nothing except a broken doll that gets tangled in the net. After
years in the ocean, the doll a terrifying sight and the mother's
first instinct is to throw it back, but she relents when her
daughter pleads to keep it. This simple act of kindness proves
fatal. That evening, the mother posts a picture of the doll on
social media. By the morning, she is dead and the doll has
disappeared. Several years later and Detective Huldar is in his
least favourite place - on a boat in rough waters, searching for
possible human remains. However, identifying the skeleton they find
on the seabed proves harder than initially thought, and Huldar must
draw on psychologist Freyja's experience to help him. As the
mystery of the unidentified body deepens, Huldar is also drawn into
an investigation of a homeless drug addict's murder, and Freyja
investigates a suspected case of child abuse at a foster care home.
What swiftly becomes clear is that the cases are linked through a
single, missing, vulnerable witness: the young girl who wanted the
doll all those years ago. Taut, terrifying and impossible to put
down, The Doll cements Yrsa Sigurdardottir's reputation as a master
of storytelling tension and surprise.
