About this listen
One little girl.
Mirabelle’s mother loves her. She’s her ‘little doll’. Mother dresses her, paints her face, and plaits her hair. But as Mirabelle grows, the dresses no longer fit quite as well, the face paint no longer looks quite so pretty. And Mother isn’t happy.
Two little girls.
On Mirabelle’s 13th birthday, Mother arrives home with a present – a new sister, 5-year-old Clarabelle, who Mother has rescued from the outside world.
But Mother only needs one.
As it dawns on Mirabelle that there is a new ‘little doll’ in her house, she also realizes that her life isn’t what she thought it was. And that dolls often end up on the scrap heap…

Not a proper book listener but this…WOW
I don’t usually use audible for ‘proper books’ as I’m more of a biography listener but something about this book caught my eye on suggestions. I took a chance and wow! I was hooked from the first chapter until the last! To the point where I was making excuses to go out in my car to listen to a bit more!! Haha it is executed perfectly by the narrator Sarah Lambie and the story is gripping until the end which genuinely (as a parent) put a real lump in my throat! Abby Davies take a bow! Loved it!

Wow!!
This is such a gripping book. To start with I wasn't sure as it seemed a bit slow but about a third of the way through it really picks up the pace with lots of twists and turns. The narrator did an excellent job too.

Overall - ok
The story was interesting but dragged a bit the last few chapters.
The narrator voice was a bit irritating, the main character is 12yrs old but sounds like a posh pensioner.

A gripping read
I worry with books written from the perspectives of children/teens as they can be a bit too childlike, but Davies manages to write her in a way that is enjoyable for adults while still showing her age.
A few times in the book i thought “surely this must be the conclusion” and thought it could get tired with so much action happening throughout but it keeps you drawn in! There is always something happening, no dilly dallying with the plot.
Highly recommend, finished the book in less than 24 hours! The narration was also excellent.

Enthralling and spine tingling debut thriller - a must read!
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this chilling tale. I was hooked right from the start, captivated by the thirteen year old Mirabelle, who has never been allowed to go outside, and her relationship with her sinister mother. The story is well written and is truly creepy, gripping and full of unexpected twists and turns. Highly recommended, I look forward to this author’s next book.
