The Doll Maker

De: Richard Montanari

Narrado por: Scott Brick

Detectives Byrne and Balzano return to the streets of Philadelphia to put an end to a macabre succession of murdered children.

A quiet Philadelphia suburb. A woman cycles past a train depot with her young daughter. There she finds a murdered girl posed on a newly painted bench. Beside her is a formal invitation to a tea dance in a week's time.

Seven days later two more young victims are discovered in an abandoned house, posed on painted swings. At the scene is an identical invitation. This time, though, there is something extra waiting for Detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano: a delicate porcelain doll.

It's a message. And a threat. With the killers at large, Detectives Byrne and Balzano have just seven more days to find the link between the murders before another innocent child is snatched from the streets.

Great & Unique Story

Excellent narration by Scott Brick, as usual. Author was new to me, but the man sure knows how to write a mystery!

The perfect Combo! Great thriller & Scott Brick

I loved this story! The bad guys were the creepier than any I have ever read. Jessica and burns continued to grow as characters. Scott brick was as always, flawless in his performance. It looks like story line can continue too, which is so exciting!! I loved everything about this story.

Did not command my attention

Less riveting than his other books. Storyline was A bit convoluted . I enjoyed the narration, story could have been stronger, less predictable.

Good Listen!

I enjoyed this book! I love suspense novels and this was a good one! The narrator did a good job also!

Loved it!

I really loved this book, the story kept me wanting more and more. I just couldn't put it down

what we do to children

Liked the story overall ,but it for to be a little over the top that things could go so smoothly for so long.

Awesome story

Great thriller. Had my attention the entire time as usual, Scott Brick's narration does not disappoint. The author's storyline was amazing.

Umm, where's the ending??

Great story, riveting all the way through! However, the end was unsatisfying and lackluster. I'll buy more from this author though.

Loved it!! Creepy and twisted!

This book was wonderful! Super creepy and full of surprises! The narrator was wonderful and I loved all the French references.

Looked into more of his work after this one!

I really enjoyed this title, and was inspired to listen to more of Montanari's books. This was thrilling and I found myself listening attentively during work. The plot is well crafted, creepy, and intelligent, and I liked that we found out clues art much the same time that the detectives did.

His novels are structured very similarly to any crime drama on television and this made it enjoyable for me.
