The Dollmaker by Morgan Shamy
The Dollmaker by Morgan Shamy narrated by Kate Rudd Set in the 1920s, there were a few anachronisms that did take me out of the time period. However, for the most part, I was right there in the time with the characters. The story revolves around Dawn, a single woman who wants to be a doctor. This is something of an anomaly for that era. Women were housewives, teachers, nannies or maids. They did not attempt to achieve anything more than that. Dawn's parents are wanting to marry her off to a grotesque elderly man because he is rich and Dawn's father has lost all of the family's money. Of course, this is something that Dawn is not wanting. In the meantime, women are going missing and parts of them are being found sew together sort of like a deranged Dr. Frankenstein's version of a porcelain doll. It isn't until one of Dawn's friends is taken that she starts her search for the murderer. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I know that some people are upset
