The Doll's House is a 2013 book by British author Tania Carver.
Synopsis
The book centres on the discovery of a dead pre-transition male-to-female transgender individual on a council housing estate in Birmingham. The inside of the house is like a doll's house with pink ribbons and pink walls, stuffed toys and the table set for a tea party.[1] Detective Phil Brennan on the Major Incident Squad begins investigating the puzzling case.
Reception
Author Mark Billingham described the book as "seriously scary." In Female First, the reviewer wrote "This book was full of psychopaths, gory murder scenes and scandal and I loved it. I ended up goading myself to read 'just a few more pages' all the way through."[2] In Mystery Tribune, the book was "recommended for ones looking for psychological thrillers"[3] while the book was also reviewed in Publishers Weekly.[4]
