The Doll by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
5.0
This didn’t exactly go in the direction I thought it would, but I loved it. I also didn’t realise it was part of a series, which I will be looking into as soon as possible, but it can easily be read as a standalone.
There was a lot going on, but it all started coming together at the end in a brilliant reveal. I was trying to figure out the cases and how they could be linked but I definitely did not see it coming. Especially the doll – that was a brilliant twist. The characters were great too, such individual personalities and I felt their emotions along with them.
My only negative was keeping track of the names, but that’s only because it’s been translated from Icelandic to English and as such the names aren’t common to me.
Overall, I just couldn’t put this book down, it was thoroughly gripping and it even gave me goosebumps at times. Happy publication day!
