focus on hunting down killers and neglecting his marriage to Tess. When he
finds out that Tess is back in town and working in the medical examiner’s
office, Dakota is determined to be professional even as he is drawn to this
determined woman. But this killer is smart, determined and as they get closer
to the deranged psychopath, the killer sets his sights on Tess. Can Dakota and
Tess figure out the clues and solve the case before Tess becomes the next
victim of THE DOLL MAKER?
Wow, Mary
Burton delivers a fast paced story that will chill you to the core even as you
flip the pages to see what happens next. Ms. Burton delivers a story that is at
times fraught with twists and turns that the reader doesn’t see coming and a
secondary story of two people reconnecting and trying to work out their
differences. This book is like a puzzle the reader has to figure out. It has a
devious and diabolical killer that just chills you to the soul, a mystery that
pulls you in and characters that you can’t help but enjoy. The story moves quickly, keeps the reader
glued to the pages and entertained till the very end.
Meet Tess
and Dakota. Two headstrong people who are made a mess of their marriage but
finally figure out they are meant for one another. I got to admit when I first
met Dakota Sharp, he was a bit rough around the edges for my taste, quite
focused to point of ignoring everything and everyone around him. That is until
Tess comes back into his life. Then my lord, the sparks flew between them. Tess
needed that time away from Dakota to see what she needed and wanted while doing
work over seas. These two characters are quite entertaining, enjoyable and made
me root for them to succeed as a couple even as I tried to figure out the clues
left by the killer alongside them. They had substance and were written so
life-like I half expected them to pop up in my living room at times while
reading THE DOLL MAKER. The killer is just creepy and the author does a
fine job in getting into the mind of them to show the reader just how
diabolical they can be. The secondary characters are just as well written as
our main players and keep the story moving along nicely.
THE DOLL
MAKER is a wonderful
story that will thrill and chill you this winter’s night as it keeps you on the
edge of your seat. If you enjoy a romantic suspense story that is full of
twists and turns, a killer that will give you nightmares and a mystery to solve
then you will enjoy Ms. Burton’s latest installment in the Forgotten Files
series. You don’t have to read book one, The Shark, in order to read this
installment. The books stand alone and I know I am eager to see where the third
book, The Hangman, goes next.
