The Dollhouse
by Fiona Davis
RATING: 4 STARS
2016; Dutton/Penguin Group
The Dollhouse is one of those books, I kick myself for waiting so long to read it. The cover had drew me in, and I requested it early on from NetGalley. I let it sit, and read other books. I saw a newer book by Davis available at my eLibrary on audio, so decided it was time to try Fiona Davis. After falling in love with the writing, research and interesting topics, I was hooked. I went back and read most of Davis's novels. I kept one ([b:The Masterpiece|37504654|The Masterpiece|Fiona Davis|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1513199542l/37504654._SY75_.jpg|59112137]) for my "hold one back" novel. I know you have heard me complain about dual-timelines, but Davis does a great job in tying the two stories together. I love the details of the Barbizon Hotel in 1950s, NY and the way "working women" lived and the rules around that. While the suspense for the mystery in this novel gets forgotten at times, but doesn't take away from enjoying the story. I highly recommend this one.
