Perfect house. Perfect wife. This killer will put an end to all that.

Behind the door of a house in Birmingham, a gruesome crime scene awaits.

A woman sits at a table laid for two, teacup in hand. On her lips, there’s a frozen smile. On her pink dress, a blood-red stain.

She’s been murdered, mutilated and posed. Like a life-sized doll.

Detective Phil Brennan is called to investigate. Beside the body, he finds a doll’s house: an eerie replica of the scene.

As Detective Brennan and profiler Marina Esposito dig deeper, they uncover a twisted fantasy built from loneliness and obsession — one that blurs the line between victim and killer. Because someone out there believes they’re creating something beautiful.

And they’re not done yet.

A nerve-shredding British thriller for fans of Silence of the Lambs, Mo Hayder, Alex North, Kathy Reichs, Tess Gerritsen and Karin Slaughter.
