The Dollmaker

By: Morgan Shamy

Narrated by: Kate Rudd

No one is safe. Not when The Dollmaker lurks in the shadows.

Dawn Hildegard’s dream is to become a doctor, but for a woman in the 1920s, this is no easy task. When her best friend Rose is kidnapped by “The Dollmaker,” a crazed serial killer who creates “art” from his victim’s bodies, she drops everything to find her. With the help of a handsome new acquaintance and his mysterious brother, Dawn investigates the fascinating case: Women found dead at the scene—their limbs skillfully removed, only to later be found stitched back together, suspended in doll-like positions throughout town in a grotesque display.

While following the trail of clues, Dawn can’t help her growing affection for the brothers, or her sense of unease. The Hemsworth brothers share dark secrets, and both have ties to one of the victims. With time running out, Dawn must use her wits and medical knowledge to find Rose before it’s too late. And before she becomes The Dollmaker’s next victim.
