Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. THE DOLLMAKER. Yep, it was as creepy as the cover. This book came out a few years before The Graveyard Queen series by Amanda Stevens, and I loved it. She knows how to create troubled and tragic characters who draw readers into their stories, and Dave and Claire – ugh, their story was heart-wrenching! Their daughter disappeared without a trace seven years earlier, their marriage fell apart, and Dave turned to alcohol. Then suddenly, Claire comes across a mysterious doll in a shop window that looks just like their missing daughter, down to the birthmark on her arm. Coincidence? THE DOLLMAKER was an exciting and emotional novel of suspense, set in one of my favorite locations, New Orleans. It was interesting how the author talked about Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath on the city. There were many layers to this story, not only the doll, but also the reemergence of a cold case Dave had first investigated at the time of his daughter’s disappearance. There was also a diverse cast of notable secondary characters, some good, some bad, but which was which? Final Thoughts: If you enjoy page-turning, creepy suspense with just the barest hint of romance, I’d highly recommend THE DOLLMAKER. I wasn't particularly attached to any of the main characters. I especially didn't like Charlotte and Alex. There wasn't enough creep or scares for me. As far as the plot, it was WAY to easy to figure out. There was much potential for this story, it just wasn't established. I am not sure if I will try this author again or not. I hated the ending of this and honestly couldn't recommend it. This book was okay. I liked the main characters, and was rooting for them to get back together, but it just took too long for me. And then the climax and conclusion was really fast. As for suspense, there wasn't a whole lot. I sort of knew what was going on most of the book. If it hadn't been for the fact that I did like Dave and Claire so much, I probably wouldn't have finished the book. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

And now a new clue has surfaced...a doll that is the spitting image of Claire Doucett's missing child, right down to the tiny birthmark on the girl's left arm. A chance sighting of the eerily lifelike doll in a French Quarter collectibles shop leaves Claire shaken to her core...and more determined than ever to find out what happened to her beloved Ruby. When the doll is snatched and the store's owner turns up dead, Claire knows the only person she can turn to is ex-husband Dave Creasy, a former cop who has spent the past seven years imprisoned by his own guilt and despair. He let Claire down once when she needed him the most. Can she make him believe the doll really exists? She'll have to if they're to survive an encounter with a brutal psychopath-- the dollmaker--who stole their future to feed an obsession that will never die.

All in all, I'd say skip this book. It didn't grip me like a mystery should, and I didn't really care who did it, why, or what happened to their daughter. I really pretty much just went through the motions reading this, I wasn't really interested or invested in it. ( )
