For The Night Is Dark And Full of Terror reviewed The Dollhouse Murders by Betty Ren Wright (Apple Chillers)
Review of 'The Dollhouse Murders' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Loved this book as a kid; happy to find it again as an adult. Overall, I'm pleased at how well it holds up despite being written in the '80s. The story of how Amy Treloar finds a dollhouse with dolls that re-enact the murder of her great-grandparents is still very creepy. The dollhouse ghosts present her with a mystery to solve. In the process, Amy gets closer to her special needs sister, Louann, and helps her Aunt Clare heal from a tragedy that has dominated over her adult life. Oh, and did I mention that this passes the Bechdel Test?
