About this audiobook
What happens when ambition trumps the truth?
A town reeling in the wake of tragedy
An arsonist is on the loose in Colmstock, Australia, most recently burning down the town's courthouse and killing a young boy who was trapped inside.
An aspiring journalist desperate for a story
The clock is ticking for Rose Blakey. With nothing but rejections from newspapers piling up, her job pulling beers for cops at the local tavern isn't nearly enough to cover rent. Rose needs a storya big one.
Little dolls full of secrets
In the weeks after the courthouse fire, precise porcelain replicas of Colmstock's daughters begin turning up on doorsteps, terrifying parents and testing the limits of the town's already fractured police force.
Rose may have finally found her story. But as her articles gain traction and the boundaries of her investigation blur, Colmstock is seized by a seething paranoia. Soon, no one is safe from suspicion. And when Rose's attention turns to the mysterious stranger living in the rooms behind the tavern, neighbor turns on neighbor and the darkest side of self-preservation is revealed.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing book. Dark and real, exposing the human nature and unintended consequences. Loved it!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Probably the best book by this author. The plot is pretty original
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked the story, but it drug out a little too long at the beginning with no real plot, then towards the end, I felt as if the author added too many plot twist. It wasn't a bad storyline just feel like less is more for this one.
