Helpful Score: 3

This is my first review and what compelled me to write one about The Sleeping Doll was the book's sheer briliance. This is my first Deaver novel and I was utterly impressed by the man's writing. The book keeps you on your toes, it keeps you wanting to read - no place was ever a good place to stop and take a break from reading it. The main character, Kathryn Dance, was a well-rounded woman who juggled widowhood, motherhood, family and a prestigious position. And she never came across as superwoman. He painted a "real" picture of a character. I also loved that it's set right around where I was born, raised and live now. That's always a fun bonus. Definitely read the book!
