Wow Daisy (D.E. White) has really knocked the ball out of the park with this one. Adrenaline pumping, interesting characters that gain depth and complexity throughout the book, a unique story and one hell of a heart stopping ending.

Dove and her family have suffered so much loss and are picking up the pieces with courage. Dove suffered life changing injuries which resulted in her relationship with Quin breaking down. She has moved to MCT for a fresh start. The call comes in; her very first case...... And her past comes back to hit her like a 40 ton truck. How can this be? The Glass Doll murderer is back from the dead or it looks that way. As the story continues it forks into 2 cases both are linked by Dove and her family both with their share of twists, curves, false leads and shocks.

Dove and her sisters had an unconventional upbringing and I think that comes accross in their personalities. It makes them more unique and different in a very good way.

I absolutely loved this book but finding it really difficult to review without spoilers. It pulls your emotions, gets the adrenaline pumping from the beginning to the end and that ending WOW. I have loved all this author's books but this one is so absolutely brilliant I am crossing my fingers hoping it is the start of a loonnnggg series.

5 Golden Stars from me

The promise of a copycat serial killer novel had my interest piqued. Unfortunately, there were too many characters, plots, and subplots going on to hold my interest. Sadly, I found myself zoning out while reading and I didn't look forward to picking it back up.

There are too many things going on in this story : DC Dove Milton was attacked while on the job. She's healing from this and trying to mend the relationship with her boyfriend. The Glass Dolls killer, who is now dead himself, killed her niece. Her other sister owns the club where the victim of the copycat killer worked. And, the niece that died, her sister goes missing. Add to this all of the DCs and DSs and DIs that she works with and her old boss calling on her to work with her old informant. Add to this another character describing the vigilante missions they go on with a group to catch pedophiles.

I would absolutely still read another book by D.E. White, as I enjoyed her writing style.

Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for providing me with an ARC.

i was given this book for an honest opinion from netgalley and publisher.
i am not sure but i was not very impressed with this book. it was well written and fast paced but i felt like it was confusing and left me wondering about some things. i might have to reread it again just to find out if i truly didn't enjoy it.

Glass Dolls- A review. I received this book from #netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
A gruesome murder mystery that will leave you guessing until the very end. Incredibly well written with so many twists I finished it in less than a day. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dove Milson is a murder detective in the UK and her first case on the team hits too close to home. A young girl is found murdered and encased in glass. The handiwork looks strikingly similar to the glass doll murder who supposedly murdered her teenage niece Eden four years ago although her body was never found. But the killer is dead and the team believes they may have a copycat on their hands. When Dove’s other niece and Eden’s younger sister, Delta goes missing the coincidences cannot be ignored. The more secrets that Dove uncovers the more terrible the truth becomes. Who is after her family and can she stop them before there is another victim? It’s a race against time to solve the murder a before another pretty girl turns up dead and encased in glass.

This is a fast easy read.
It's entertaining.
It's got a new angle on murders,or at least a different way of displaying the bodies.

But there are also sections that for me dont quite sit right with the rest of the book.
Also...where were the grandparents the whole time? Would you not be rushing over to help your kids.

The reason behind the murders did seem a little over the top.

But you know what? I read the book in two sittings and I didn't guess who the murderer was,and to me that's positive enough.
It's a bit of escapism.
