"A book of the year!" -Buried in a Book
"This book is not for the faint of heart. It's deliciously dark and gruesome." -Where the Reader Grows
She vanished on her first night at university. Five years later, her father's phone rings.
When Olivia is abducted from a quiet campus road, the crime takes seconds. For her father, Harry, the nightmare never ends. Five years of drinking. Five years of guilt. Five years of imagining his daughter dead in a ditch while the police search goes cold and the world moves on. Everyone tells him to accept it. To grieve. To let go.
Then the phone rings.
"Daddy."
Olivia is alive. But alive doesn't mean safe.
Held captive in a meticulously designed pink room, tortured by two masked men who treat her like a possession, Olivia has survived through sheer defiance. Piece by piece, they've tried to break her. Piece by piece, she has endured.
Now the clock is running.
As Harry claws his way out of alcoholism and back into the fight, father and daughter wage parallel battles-one to survive, the other to find her before she disappears forever.
Dark, relentless, and emotionally devastating, Doll House is a psychological thriller about captivity, resilience, and the terrifying lengths a parent will go to save their child.
This is not a story for the faint of heart.
But it is impossible to forget.
