I was glued to this one, with twists and turns . Brilliant characters and writing flow Highly recommend |
Don't pick this up before you go to bed because you absolutely will not end up going to sleep as this is definitely a need to know more sort of book and I couldn't put it down. It's very thrilling and suspenseful to read and I enjoyed the characters a lot, would definitely continue with this authors work. |
Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This book is certainly addictive, a true page-turner full of twists and turns. Recommended. |
Well written thriller! I have that author several times. The storyline flows, even though I found the second half of the book more interesting and captivating. A good crime thriller that keeps you turning the pages. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of this book. This is my honest review. All opinions are my own. |

I don't know why but I found this book really hard to get into for the first half of the book so it took me a lot longer to read than normal. Once I got to the second half though I started to enjoy it alot more. Im not sure what it was about the book that put me off to begin with but persevere with it. It's worth it in the end. |
Great thriller to read on these cold dark nights. Great plot. The book was very well written. Flowed well. Couldn’t put it down once I started it |
I very much enjoyed this book. It has a good story and excellent main characters. I would definately recommend this book. |
I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers. Glass Dolls is a fast paced, twisting and chilling story. Dove Milson is on the case of a possible copy cat killer of the Glass Doll murderer. But the killings seem targeted towards her family but is this just coincidence or something more sinister. This book makes you on edge and eager to discover who the killer is and the mystery behind the killings. This book was very cleverly written and had me reading way into the night. |

This is a cracking read. Meet Dove Milson - the detective starting out in the field - a body is found - held inside a glass box for everyone to see and admire. Who on earth is able to murder someone and display her body in this way. How would they be able to get the glass box into position by themselves - and why would they be displayed in this way. This is a horrific way to die and Dove needs to find out who would be killing in this manner - and quickly! Very twisty and a great read - i couldnt get to the ending quick enough. |
For a series starter, this book was really good. It was gritty, but not too gritty. The author did a great job of setting up characters and giving glimpses of their backstory, revealing a little more and a little more. The personal connection to the murderer added a layer of suspense to the story. There were snippets interspersed from a nameless narrator - it was sometimes slightly confusing, which added to the suspense and the unknown in the story. I couldn't put this book down and look forward to the next book in the series. (The book ended with the perfect set up for a series although there is no indication of a series on Goodreads). |

A GRIPPING READ. A naked young girl is dead and posed in a glass coffin. That was it I just had to keep on reading. The same M O as an old case but the killer is dead. Copycat, partner or maybe an avid fan??? I read this book in one sitting I had to know the truth. P.enty of twists and turns and some surprises I never saw coming. Loved IT!!!! Thanks to Joffre Books and Netgalley for the ARC in return for giving an honest review |

I was given a copy of Glass dolls by D E White by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This is the first book by this author I have read. This is a festive story, Dove is investigating the murder of a girl who is killed then placed in a glass coffin. The murder is similar to a series killers from several years ago where Doves niece disappeared never to be found. As Dove begins to investigate her other niece disappears. I enjoyed this book, it was well written with lots of twists and turns. |
Glass Dolls is brilliant, an incredible, gripping read! I wasn’t sure what to expect, having never read any of the authors work before.. I was not disappointed! I like the pace of this book, plenty going on and it didn’t have lots of characters which can get a bit confusing sometimes. Really really enjoyed it. Plenty of twists and shocks. Now I’m off to hunt down more books by this author! |
Detective Dove Milson is called out to a chilling murder scene by the coast. A teenage girl is found murdered, encased in glass. The murder is a replica of a serial killer known as the Glass Doll Murderer who encased his victims in glass to watch them die. He would be the prime suspect but.. he’s already dead. I was given this book to read as an arc on Netgalley. When I first started reading this book I thought it was very interesting, very gripping and unique. I thought this book was very different to your normal thrillers. However, I soon found that the book became very repetitive and I felt like the author didn’t tell us very much about the characters and their stories. This thriller is a very fast paced and easy read however, I felt it lacked something. I also found that the ending of the story was very rushed and In my opinion the author left lots of questions unanswered. I’d give this book 3⭐️. |

This is an,edge of your seat suspense filled thriller.The characters are captivating.The story will pull you in and not let you go til the very end. Dove is a detective trying to find a serial killer since the last serial killer is dead after saying he killed her niece.But there are so many twists and turns to this story will keep you riveted until the very last page and leave you begging for more.I love the way this amazing author brings the characters to life before your eyes and makes you feel their emotions and their pain.When her other niece disappears her sister can't believe it's happening again. But there are so many things that happen you will be surprised .A great read. |
This is my first book by this author, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's always exciting to discover new authors, those whose works i have never read before. I was checking the author out,and i found that Mr. White has been writing books for quite a while but took a turn in style and genres with this latest book. This book stand out, it's very nicely put together with good and a lot twist. I love when you think that you know what's going on but in reality you don't have a clue and the ending is jaw's dropping. Definitely recommended 🙆 Thank you, NetGalley, Joffe Books & D. E. White. |
First off, thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This book was a thrilling read. I enjoyed all the twists and turns but I felt I was missing something. I have attempted to find more books by this author for a chance to see if this is one of a series with DC Dove Milson. I can't find anything, so I really felt I missed a lot about the characters and the plot line. With that being said and that disconnected feeling I still really enjoyed the storyline and especially the characters. I'm a big fan of police procedurals with a female lead and DC Dove Milson is no exception. She's strong, confident, capable, and has a history you can't help but like her even more for. I will say this, this book is twisted. There were a lot of things going on in the book that you couldn't possibly see being tied together but in the end that's what D.E. White does brilliantly. You can't help but get caught up in all the craziness and before you know it you're almost done! Now that's the way to read a book!! I look forward to reading more work by D.E. White and hopefully continuing on with Dove Milson and her vibrant family! |
Wow. I have read some really good books this year but Glass Dolls stands head and shoulders above them all. I honestly never knew what to expect from page to page. Every time I thought I couldn't be shocked any more along came another twist. As well as a compulsive story this book introduces a whole cast of characters I would love to see again. Hopefully there will be a sequel soon. Posted to Amazon and Goodreads |
