The Doll Maker by Richard Montanari

3.0

I really enjoyed this story but unfortunately, I did feel like it dragged so much from page 150-400. Before and after those pages, I was really invested and was speeding through but during them, it felt never-ending. There did not need to be nearly as many pages as this had. I liked both Kevin Bryne and Jessica Balzano as detectives and as characters - despite it being the 8th in the series, I felt like I knew them and didn't miss out from not reading the first 7 books. I definitely would pick up another one of the series if I came across one in a charity shop or if I got one as a present (this particular copy was a hand-me-down from my nan) but I wouldn't pay full price or go out of my way to find one.
