Broken Dolls (DC Charlotte Stafford #4) by Sarah Flint


Synopsis:

A baby lies abandoned amongst the rubbish; her tiny face as white as alabaster, her body as stiff as a miniature doll. 

A young prostitute lies beaten, her figure lying like a mannequin on the frozen concrete, her blood spilt, her life ebbing away.
As DC 'Charlie' Stafford and her boss DI Hunter struggle to identify the victim from the violator their hunt brings them to the crack houses of Lambeth, littered with damaged people, their lives scarred by tragedy and violence, most broken beyond repair.

As further lives hang in the balance Charlie must enpower the weak to speak out against those who seek to cause harm.
 But can a broken doll ever truly be mended; or will the wounds of the past, fashion the events of the future?

My review:

Another brilliant installment in the DC Charlotte Stafford series. This time looking at human trafficking and the many ugly faces of drugs and prostitution. I really want this series to get televised, this would make a perfect on screen drama - there is the human value, the suspension, the unknown killer - the series has it all.

It's also great seeing Charlie in her personal life and how her relationship with her own family and the handsome Ben are developing since book one.

I highly recommend this series for any crime book lover. This is a fab series to get you teeth into - now translated into many languages and available in paperback.

My rating: 5/5
