Book Review: "Perfect Little Dolls" By Karen Long



Bizarre yet tantalizing -this novel goes where no one dare go before!

It's a unique set of circumstances that we find here as we embark on this weird sensation that something is truly off.

Why would someone take a young boy's trains? Where is Tommy? Who would take a child playing in his room?

Add this crazy display with the fact that DI Eleanor is recovering a kidnapping and torture while her partner (Whitefoot) requested a transfer (unable to deal with it all) and you got yourself one heck of a story.

This felt to me as being a little too out there and far fetched. I couldn't really get into the plasticized human remains found lying around (embalmed) nor the skeletal skulls.
Why?

Low and behold a girl was found after a fire-but she was long dead before it happened- and Eleanor now feels she has something more to prove about her worth.

This part about DI Eleanor's worth and value rubbed me the wrong way and then when she's replaced it really went far South.

Will she now focus on fighting to stay alive or is the truth about fighting for the victims and gaining justice for them?

When we learn about a man named Toby (Museum Worker at Rom) taking home bodies as a keepsake for this make believe 'Family' it was just too much. The discussion into his M.O. and reasoning bordered insanity and how he handled the victims was sickening before and after death.

It will bring out the chills so read this with a good nightlight and a nice warm cup of hot cocoa. Lol!

Thank you to Karen, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
