Little Secrets by Anna Snoekstra
Nov. 19th, 2017 09:45 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
”I am not sick.
I just like the little dolls …
I think I’ll break one soon.
It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. A tiny porcelain doll appearing on your doorstep. Bright blonde hair, rosy cheeks, even a little blue dress. A perfect replica of your six-year-old daughter.
Then anonymous letters from ‘The Doll Collector’ begin to arrive. And in the small town where everyone has their own little secrets, no one is safe from suspicion.
Because you can never really trust the people who live just along the street …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Anna Snoekstra’s psychological thriller is a neatly constructed look at paranoia, secrets and lies in a small Australian town in economic decline that focuses on the ambitions and hopes of its cast of characters and the secrets they each keep, and although I felt that Rose’s storyline with Will (a rare visitor to Colmstock with secrets of his own) lacked a decent resolution, the novel kept me gripped from beginning to end.
LITTLE SECRETS was released in the United Kingdom on 2nd November 2017. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
