2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
Anneliese Vos, sixteen-year-old daughter of Amsterdam detective, Pieter Vos, disappeared three years ago in mysterious circumstances. Her distraught father's desperate search reveals nothing and results in his departure from the police force. Pieter now lives in a broken down houseboat in the colourful Amsterdam neighbourhood of the Jordaan. One day, while Vos is wasting time at the Rijksmuseum staring at a doll's house that seems to be connected in some way to the case, Laura Bakker, a misfit trainee detective from the provinces, visits him. Shes come to tell him that Katja Prins, daughter of an important local politician, has gone missing in circumstances similar to Anneliese. In the company of the intriguing and awkward Bakker Vos finds himself drawn back into the life of a detective. A life which he thought he had left behind. Hoping against hope that somewhere will lay a clue to the fate of Anneliese, the daughter he blames himself for losing . . .

Mehso-so

For a crime thriller this is ridiculously easy to read. It‘s fast paced and well written, peaking the readers interest from the offset and holding it steady throughout the book. The characters are well rounded and there are a few unexpected twists in the tale which is always a bonus. It‘s not my favourite genre but I enjoyed The House of Dolls enough to add a few more crime thrillers to my TBR pile! Touché David Hewson.

✖️ Normally by genre (sometimes by favourites) - the top shelves are reserved for my #tbr pile.

✖️ Winnie The Pooh by A A Milne 😍 or a good classic poetry anthology.

✖️ Absolutely.

✖️ If I had the money, I would buy beautiful copies of all my favourites. But no, not normally.
