Sleeping Dolls by Helen Phifer

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thank you to Bookouture for letting me take part in this tour and for my copy of this book via Netgalley. This is the sixth book in the Detective Morgan Brookes series. All books could be read as a standalone but you will probably get more enjoyment if you read the whole series.

There is quite a lot going on in this instalment. We have a new boss, Morgan and Ben have finally stopped messing around and got together and then we have these strange murders. Morgan is less green around the ears and is starting to think a bit more before acting. Given Morgan's previous incidents I think this is a very good thing for her long-term health.

The story is well-written and fast-paced. I liked the flashbacks to 1989 to give a more rounded picture of the case. Helen always has a way of writing books that seriously creep you out. The sort that makes you want to sleep with the light on and this one is no different. I was seriously creeped out by some of the things the killer does in this book and it makes me very glad that I don't live alone.

Another excellent addition to this series and I can't wait for the next!
