This is the fourth Griffiths book I have read now and I will continue to follow the progress of this new "indie author" with interest.
Always a consummate story-teller, Griffiths continues to develop his literary skills and the ability to capture and hold an audience with his words. In each of his novels, I have seen development that makes me sure he is an author destined to continue his course of giving the readers exciting, thrilling and enthralling characters, situations and plotlines. Doll's House continues the progress I have monitored of this author.
The basic plot revolves around a cursed Doll's House hand-built in the early twentieth century that continue to wreak havoc amongst those who possess it. Its evil was curtailed for a time by a coven of witches, but the breaking of the witches line has released the evil inherent in the house, into the world. The results are scary, horrific and ultimately satisfying. As I said, Griffiths knows how to tell a story, especially in this his preferred genre, the paranormal and The Doll's House is a rollicking story, full of action and excitement. It is a book that is hard to put down simply because you want to know what happens to the characters next.
One thing I particularly like about Griffiths is he has no qualms about killing off his characters, often in brutal and barbaric ways. No sooner have you identified with a character and begun to egg on and empathize with them, Griffiths will smite them down. I find this to enhance his tales immensely.
Doll's House is not perfect. There are still language, grammar and punctuation errors that could be better, but for a tale that grips you from start to finish, I am always prepared to overlook minor style issues. These shouldn't detract from your enjoyment and for me, they absolutely did not.
The ending left open the possibility of a sequel, which I will be looking forward to with bated breath. I will be first in line for the next Griffiths paranormal novel when it rolls off the production line. This author is a breath of fresh air to this jaded reader and I enjoy his talent very much, so happy to award Doll's House five stars.
