About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Doll's House, the third installment of the Detective Inspector Helen Grace series by M. J. Arlidge, read by Elizabeth Bower and Scott Joseph.

A woman wakes. Immediately she knows she's not in the bed in which she slept. It's just the beginning of her nightmare.

Across town a child discovers a woman's body buried beneath the beach. Then another victim is found. Neither friends nor family had even reported either woman missing. How could their killer be getting away with murder?

It's chilling evidence that Detective Inspector Helen Grace is hunting a monster who's not just twisted but clever and careful. And as Helen struggles to understand the killer's motivation, she realizes that time might be running out for someone still alive....

I really enjoyed this book. It is the third in the Helen Grace series and the stories are always gripping! Im looking forward to reading the next one. One small note for the Author, Northampton is not a city!!

Great read, hard to put down

Narrator can manage a pretty decent Irish accent but can't be bothered to learn how to say Roisín properly. Drove me absolutely batty throughout. it's ROW-sheen, not Ra-SHEEN. 🙄

Amazing story, soured by narrator.

I enjoyed the quick pace of this police drama. The characterisation was clunky but that didn't deter from action story that was at the heart of this book. It was an enjoyable listen.

Pacy police drama

I like Helen’s vulnerability amongst her determination. She’s broken but still functions. It’s a shame that the endings seem very similar, that’s all I would say.

I do love the character Helen Grace.

Someone has just abducted a young woman and it soon becomes clear that this is a serial offender who has killed at least one previous victim. We hear the story unfold from the perspective of the adducted woman, the man who has adducted her and the policewoman whose task it is to find her, DI Helen Grace, before it is too late. As a side story we also get the story of how far the jealous boss of DI Grace is prepared to go to destroy her career.
The story jogs along at a good pace, and the pieces of the puzzle drop into place as a result of good police work. The jealous boss story line is not really believable, and the ending is very predictable. Still an enjoyable, fast paced, well narrated crime novel.

A bit formulaic - but still a gripping story
