About this listen

Barney Snapp looks ordinary. But behind his smile lies something broken.

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, or 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 dark and twisted tale of obsession, trauma and control, and is perfect for fans of C.J. Tudor and Alex North.
