Meer over het boek

Dressed in star-covered pajamas, a little girl lies still, her arms folded, with wildflowers in her hair. When twelve-year-old Holly Mitchell is found dead on the steps of a mountainside church in Denton, Detective Josie Quinn is called to the scene. She recognizes Holly’s face; her mother had once helped Josie in her time of need. Searching Holly’s home, Josie is heartbroken to discover that Holly’s mother is also dead and her little sister is missing. The house is stripped of all sharp objects, raising questions about the family's situation. After retracing her steps, Josie finds Holly's sister hidden away, terrified but alive. Shortly after, a doll made of twigs is discovered, intensifying Josie's urgency. Convinced the killer is nearby, Josie comforts the little girl and seeks answers, but the only clue is a pile of burnt photographs and letters found in the greenhouse. The safety of the community hangs in the balance as Josie races to uncover the dark secrets of this isolated family. Just as she closes in on the suspect, a devastating tragedy strikes, shaking her to the core. On her car windshield, a third wooden doll appears, raising the stakes. Can Josie stop this twisted monster from claiming more innocent lives, even at the ultimate cost?
