Normally I wouldn't jump in with book 5 of a series, however, it seems the case with translated crime novels that they begin partway through a series. Anyways, The Doll got off to a good start - I mean, who isn't creeped out by dolls at the best of times! Creepy and horrific until it wasn't. Disparate plots brought together throughout the book meant the ending worked, however, it just wasn't the novel I was expecting. Read this if you're a fan of European/Scandinavian/Icelandic crime thrillers.
