I was not prepared for the creepy factor of this book. When puzzle master Mike Brink is called in to visit with convicted murderer Jess Price, his world turns upside down. Jess is charged with a murder that has changed her mental status. It is up to Mike to solve the puzzle that Jess has laid out for him and in the process not get killed himself. This was a fast-paced brush with creepy dolls that I was not expecting, but it was very well done. Thank you, NetGalley for the eARC. 4 stars.
