The precious dolls

Thoroughly entertaining. Keeps you on your toes. Very inciteful into the detective world. Love the characters and ongoing storyline, the addition of Hannah really makes me look forward the the next book.

Dogs can heal a broken heart!!

Harris and Tom have a unique case. They work well together. Jake, Harriet's partner, is broken from the case he was working. He gets a dog who helps him overcome his problems. The Filmmaker has a unique style and the case isn't going very well. I enjoyed the twists and turns in this story. It was interesting to see how the case was solved. I can recommend this book for all mystery readers with a clear conscience.

This was a creepy and very ritualistic case. This is the last listed book of the series and there is no conclusion about Harri's sister. I will keep my eyes open for an announcement about a continuation. I really enjoyed the complexities of the cases, and the fictional behind the scenes look at finding a murderer from a detectives perspective.

A Very Compelling Book!!

This has been an amazing series! This book along with the others was a fast paced read with loads of heart racing suspense. It had a race to find the Doll Maker Killer and to identity him. The finale was epic and also surprising.
