Paper Dolls: a dark serial killer thriller by Emma Pullar
5.0
I'd never read anything by this author before but this was a fantastic introduction!
Mike, Bea and Kerri are flatmates with little in common aside from the usual daily struggles of work and life. However when a serial killer strikes close to home, they are all find themselves linked to the spree in varied ways.
The chapters are alternately told from each of the flatmates perspectives and the killers - interestingly and usually in second person mode - and it drags the reader into an increasingly clever storyline which kept me guessing (despite thinking i had worked it out two-thirds of the way through!).
It's certainly not a "cosy" read so be warned and equally do read the brief but fantastically worthy authors note at the end (read the book first though!) which was obviously written emotionally and from the heart.
Highly recommended.
