When a gruesome, homemade doll is found in Lyme Park, Stockport, the police are repulsed to discover that the hair once belonged to a human and that part of the scalp is still attached. Just where did this doll come from and is it connected to the discovery of the body of a young woman in the woods? In a town where everyone seems to be hiding something, who has got more to hide than most?

In Love Me To Death, we have two main protagonists. The first, Jacob, is a tragic character. Desperately missing his mum who has passed away, his life is being made a misery by his dad's new partner, Paula, although no one else seems to realise what he is having to endure. He is not like the other boys, preferring to spend his time at the local library or drawing pictures of the love of his life, Maggie. My heart really went out to Jacob and, throughout the book I found myself rooting for him, hoping that his life would take a turn for the better.

It is whilst at the library that Jacob develops a sort of friendship with one of the librarians, Mr Anderson. Also his neighbour, it is not giving anything away to say that Mr Anderson is not the sort of person you would want to befriend! I found him a very complex character, and worried what his intentions were as he grew fonder of Jacob. There were definite similarities between the two characters and, despite the uneasiness I felt as the story progressed, I could see why they felt that there was a connection between them.

Although there were several parts of the story where it was obvious to see what was going to happen, there was one part that I did not see coming towards the end. This was a genuine surprise and the twist made complete sense - with hindsight, I felt I should have seen this coming!

Wow, what a thrilling read.  You don't know what to expect after each and every page turn, and there is more than enough twists and turns to keep the reader glued until the end.  Recommended.

A young woman's body is found the same week a couple find a crude doll in Lyme Park.
Now many wonder could the two be connected?
Could this be someone seeking attention? A loner perhaps? Someone completely isolated like Mr. Anderson?
Could his mother's death have caused him to require medical attention?
When you want to be loved so much but are disregarded. Could this be the case?
So many unanswered questions ...I hope you enjoy!
Thank you to Susan, the pub, NetGalley, and Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.

I really liked the idea of this book, but didn’t find it to be the exciting page turner I thought it would be. It not to say it wasn’t good, I just struggled to keep reading and kept putting it down.

Did not finished.

Maybe I read too much psychological books or just this one was not my cup of tea.

Maybe i'll read it some other time.

Thank you NetGalley for this arc.

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review 

The plot sounded so intriguing, but the characters did not engage me as much as I had wanted them too and seemed a bit flat.  The twist did genuinely surprise though, so I will give it a three and a half.Hello

A doll found in Lyme Park handmade but very disturbing and a young girls body found in the wood , a strange town with secrets and oddball residents

Twists and turns abound and whilst there is an unexpected ending it is one of those novels that you can put down to one side for a while and pick straight up into the plot

I SO badly wanted to love this book. The blurb sounded right up my street!

It just didnt hook me entirely,  I think alot of that had to do with the fact it was either unedited or I just didnt get the authors style of writing, it jumped around so much I couldn't work out what was going on.

Don't get me wrong, the twists are brilliant and the ending was unexpected but it didn't have me wanting more.

I was a big fan of Kiss Her Goodbye so it definitely hasn't put me off reading any other books by Sudan Gee, this one just didn't hit the high notes for me.

Thank you to netgalley and Aria for the ARC.

Think I just found another favorite author! Fans of thrillers won't be disappointed! Gripping read from start to finish!
