Silas has only thought of one thing since that chance meeting, and his obsession is darkening by the day. &“A lush, evocative Gothic&” (The New York Times Book Review) that is &“a perfect blend of froth and substance&” (The Washington Post), The Doll Factory will haunt you long after you finish it and is perfect for fans of The Alienist, Drood, and Fingersmith.
