There can be no confusion in the name of the latest Tania Carver novel. ''The Doll's House'' well and truly sums it up, which is made clear as the book opens in a very pink, very well laid out lounge with a living doll, also dressed in pink, arranging the room until it is spotless. Aside from the slightly ominous undertones and the repetition that everything must be perfect; the reader could almost be forgiven for initially thinking they haven’t picked up a crime novel at all. It soon becomes obvious that this isn’t the case though as we follow DI Phil Brennan back into that same room with the doll sat straight-backed at the precisely laid out dinner table. This time though, the doll is dead.

For books full of nail biting tension try Val McDermid, with [[A Darker Domain by Val McDermid|A Darker Domain]] being a particularly good offering. Alternatively, for a book with more of a focus on the mystery elements of crime try [[No Time For Goodbye by Linwood Barclay]].
