Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
What happens when ambition trumps the truth?
A town reeling in the wake of tragedy
An arsonist is on the loose in Colmstock, Australia, most recently burning down the town’s courthouse and killing a young boy who was trapped inside.
An aspiring journalist desperate for a story
The clock is ticking for Rose Blakey. With nothing but rejections from newspapers piling up, her job pulling beers for cops at the local tavern isn’t nearly enough to cover rent. Rose needs a story—a big one.
Little dolls full of secrets
In the weeks after the courthouse fire, precise porcelain replicas of Colmstock’s daughters begin turning up on doorsteps, terrifying parents and testing the limits of the town’s already fractured police force.
Rose may have finally found her story. But as her articles gain traction and the boundaries of her investigation blur, Colmstock is seized by a seething paranoia. Soon, no one is safe from suspicion. And when Rose’s attention turns to the mysterious stranger living in the rooms behind the tavern, neighbor turns on neighbor and the darkest side of self-preservation is revealed.

“It felt so empty. Almost like things were just happening for the sake of having things happen. A young girl wants to become a journalist? LETS MAKE HER STEPDAD BECOME A DRUG LORD!
So many plot holes. What happened to Mr Riley or Rob? Or multiple other characters, that had a plot point going, but it just got dropped and never picked up again?
There was no transition between places. Rose is here doing this, but now she’s there doing that, because she had this thought…
No major character development.
It was very easy to read tho, and at times quite enjoyable and engaging. It did make me wonder if there’d be a Mia is in love with Rose plot. Would’ve been interesting to see.”
