Sleeping Dolls: An utterly unputdownable and gripping crime thriller
Sleeping Dolls: An utterly unputdownable and gripping crime thriller | Helen Phifer
5 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
The beam shines around the dark room, lighting up the woman in sky-blue pyjamas lying on the couch. But she doesn't wake under the bright glow, she isn't sleeping at all... When a concerned neighbour reports a woman missing, Detective Morgan Brookes squeezes through the stiff front door to find the woman dead. At first, the case appears unsuspicious, but something about the scene unsettles Morgan. Every clock in the house has been stopped, every mirror covered, and the woman seems physically unharmed except for one missing lock of hair. Shirley Kelly was loved by her friends and hated by her ex-husband and his new wife, but they have an iron-clad alibi, and Morgan is certain that the scene-staging holds a vital clue. She's devastated to be proved right when another woman is killed, and her home arranged in the same way. The only difference is that the second victim has been stabbed, using a knife from Shirley's own kitchen... The team can't find a connection between the two women, but Morgan is sure that there is a deadly pattern to the killer's actions. She hunts through each woman's past until she finds the link: years ago, they both worked for a woman called Evelyn Reynolds, before tragedy struck her young family. But what has made them targets now? Morgan knows this twisted case is far from over, can she find the final clue before the clock stops for the next name on the killer's list? An absolutely gripping, mile-a-minute read. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Lisa Regan and Rachel Abbott! Readers love the Detective Morgan Brookes series: 'WOW WOW WOW!! What a hair-raising rollercoaster of a read this is! WOW!... just sensational!!... My stomach felt as if it were tied in a knot throughout and at one point my jaw dropped onto my chest and it took me quite a few seconds to pull it back in place! OMG!! What the... The ending couldn't be more breathtaking and surprising... A terrific crime thriller and I highly recommend it.' Relax and Read Book Reviews, ?????

7th book read during #AwesomeAugust, book not in database so put it with the previous book in the series.

Another good outing for Morgan with plenty of action and mysterious abductions and deaths. Alongside this we have trouble at the mill, with big changes for Morgan in her team. This felt a bigger and more in-depth book than others in the series. Interested to see where the next book takes it.

Starting the new book in the Morgan Brookes series, which I got from #NetGalley this morning. Not in my original plans for the #AugustArc Readathon but can‘t resist.

It is not in the Litsy database yet so tagged it to the previous book in the series.

Another Excellent book in this series. A great group in this book, and always great storylines with a few twists along the way. Interesting times for the team with a new boss coming in.

8th book finished for #JoysOfJune and target met.
