What happens when ambition trumps the truth? A town reeling in the wake of tragedy An arsonist is on the loose in Colmstock, Australia, most recently burning down the town's courthouse and killing a young boy who was trapped inside. An aspiring journalist desperate for a story The clock is ticking for Rose Blakey. With nothing but rejections from newspapers piling up, her job pulling beers for cops at the local tavern isn't nearly enough to cover rent. Rose needs a storya big one. Little dolls full of secrets In the weeks after the courthouse fire, precise porcelain replicas of Colmstock's daughters begin turning up on doorsteps, terrifying parents and testing the limits of the town's already fractured police force. Rose may have finally found her story. But as her articles gain traction and the boundaries of her investigation blur, Colmstock is seized by a seething paranoia. Soon, no one is safe from suspicion. And when Rose's attention turns to the mysterious stranger living in the rooms behind the tavern, neighbor turns on neighbor and the darkest side of self-preservation is revealed.

I didn't think I'd be a fan of this one, but it took me by surprise! Little Secrets really hooked me in. I loved the characters, the setting and the story line - though the ending could have been better!

Mehso-so

This book centres around the town of colmstock and in particular through the eyes of rose. I felt it was a little slow but it did keep me reading. I found it a little unbelievable the scenes really jumped out at you especially the police brutality the author really had you there in the moment.

Anna Snoekstra's psychological thriller is a neatly constructed look at paranoia, secrets and lies in a small Australian town in economic decline that focuses on the ambitions and hopes of its cast of characters and the secrets they each keep, and although I felt that Rose's storyline with Will (a rare visitor to Colmstock with secrets of his own) lacked a decent resolution, the novel kept me gripped from beginning to end.

#NovemberTBR #novtbr So, it might (probably) change but here‘s what I have going in to November; I‘ve started ‘The Power‘, but I want to read ‘Forest of a Thousand Lanterns‘ before going to #Portland next weekend for #Wordstock (book fest) where the author will be there. I also have my #LMPBC read, and an ARC, a library book, and I want to read Vengeance Road before my preorder of the 2nd book comes in. We‘ll see how it goes!! #noteworthynovember

Alicia Great minds think alike! I am legit about to start 6y
kamoorephoto @Alicia Really?! I have the 2nd on preorder just knowing I need it and sent in for the preorder swag! 6y
Alicia @kamoorephoto nice!!! The author is coming to Phoenix Wednesday to promote the second one so I figured I should read the first one before seeing her!! 6y
kamoorephoto So bummed she isn‘t coming to the PNW at all!!! Can you get a sticky bookplate signed for me?! Wait, I should check if I get one... 6y
