The Doll

Barney Snapp looks ordinary. But behind his smile lies something broken. A dark and twisted psychological thriller from the author of Obsession.

Home-schooled and raised in isolation, Barney grew up role-playing with china dolls while other children played in the real world. Now an adult, he still struggles to understand human emotions, and to control his own.

When tragedy rips through his life, Barney seeks comfort at a local bereavement group. But instead of solace, he discovers secrets, lies, and betrayal. And when three women from the group step into his home, his obsession takes a dangerous turn.

Because in Barney’s world, dolls don’t just sit pretty. They obey.

The Doll is a mind-bending thriller of trauma and control—perfect for fans of C. J. Tudor and Alex North.
