The Doll's House is a 2013 book by British author Tania Carver.
Synopsis
[edit]The book centres on the discovery of a dead pre-transition male-to-female transgender individual on a council housing estate in Birmingham. The inside of the house is like a doll's house with pink ribbons and pink walls, stuffed toys and the table set for a tea party.[1] Detective Phil Brennan on the Major Incident Squad begins investigating the puzzling case.
Reception
[edit]Author Mark Billingham described the book as "seriously scary." In Female First, the reviewer wrote "This book was full of psychopaths, gory murder scenes and scandal and I loved it. I ended up goading myself to read 'just a few more pages' all the way through."[2] In Mystery Tribune, the book was "recommended for ones looking for psychological thrillers"[3] while the book was also reviewed in Publishers Weekly.[4]
