Critics Review

Longtime fans of the series will not be disappointed, nor will readers who favor thrillers with a high creepiness quotient.

A relentlessly suspenseful, soul-chilling thriller - Tess Gerritsen

Taut, propulsive and darkly gripping, Montanari is a master of suspense and The Doll Maker is a fiendishly haunting thriller. - Chris Ewan, bestselling author of Safe House

Scary good! Montanari expertly weaves a mesmerizing tale - Lisa Gardner

A master of the pulse-pounding novel of suspense - Good Book Guide

Byrne and Balzano make a great cop duo - Peterborough Evening Telegraph

A sizzling story that will not only keep you turning the pages, but also provides the kind of tender note not usually found in a thriller as taut and exciting as The Killing Room - Mystery People
