Description
Emily and Judith Pancoast, elderly sisters, are the owners of a priceless dollhouse that is an exact replica of their Victorian home in a small seaside resort near Philadelphia. The dollhouse is inhabited by dolls that the sisters crafted to resemble each member of their family. On Thanksgiving Day, just before relatives arrive for dinner, Emily Pancoast discovers that the dollhouse dining room table, set in miniature of the real one, is in total disarray and the doll representing their show more niece Pamela is lying facedown in her dessert plate. When Pamela's death soon follows, the sisters turn to the physician detective, Dr. Andrew Fenimore. show lessTags

A physician gets involved in solving a series of murders that are all accompanied by exact replicas of the crime scenes in an elaborate dollhouse.
I love how fast-paced this cozy mystery is! Things start happening right away, and don't let up. But Hathaway still manages to create interesting characters, and a mystery with good clues and a clever resolution.
I felt when the doctor's possible paramour came into play, things slowed down a little. Her addition didn't really seem necessary--the doctor was already a humanized and likable character.
This has been sitting on my shelf for a while, and I'm really glad I finally picked it up. This is a clever, fun mystery that manages to never really drag.

Book 2 in the series starring Andrew Fenimore MD. Cozy mysteries. Not teribly inventive, but a nice diversion.
