Book ID/图书代码： 14939917C00004
English Summary/英文概要： 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.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当野心胜过真相时会发生什么？
在悲剧发生后摇摇欲坠的小镇
在澳大利亚科尔姆斯托克，一名纵火犯逍遥法外，就在最近他烧毁了该镇的法院，并导致了一名被困在里面的男孩死亡。
一位满怀抱负又渴望报道的记者
Rose的时间在一分一秒地流逝。除了一次次被报纸拒绝之外，她在酒馆为警察刀啤酒的工作几乎不足以支付房租。她需要一个故事——一个大故事。
充满秘密的小洋娃娃
在法庭失火的几周后，Colmstock女儿们的瓷娃娃复制品开始出现在门口，这吓坏了她们父母，并触到了该镇已经支离破碎的警察队伍的底限。
Rose也许终于找到了她的故事。但随着她的文章读者越来越多，她的调查界限也越来越模糊，而Colmstock也陷入在狂热的偏执之中。很快，每个人都受到了怀疑。当Rose的注意力转向住在酒馆后面房间里的神秘陌生人时，邻居之间开始了互相猜忌，而人们自我保护最黑暗的一面也显露出来了。(YYW)
Awards/获奖情况：“Snoekstra出色的处子秀在作品云集的心理悬念领域脱颖而出，这本书充满着巧妙的障眼法和大量黑暗暴力的谜团。推荐给喜欢Lisa Lutz的《乘客》的相同类型读物爱好者和读者。”--Library Journal（星级点评）《独生女》书评 “不可靠的惊悚故事叙述者实际上是他们自己的一个亚流派，这里有两个不可靠的叙述以及扭曲的快节奏的情节，同时留下许多问题没有解答…喜欢恐怖惊悚小说的读者会一直猜发生了什么，无法将其抛之脑后。”——Booklist（星级点评）《独生女》书评

"Snoekstra’s excellent debut stands out in the crowded psychological suspense field with smart, subtle red herrings and plenty of dark and violent secrets. Recommend to genre aficionados and readers who enjoyed Lisa Lutz’s The Passenger." --Library Journal (starred review), on Only Daughter
"Unreliable narrator thrillers are practically a subgenre of their own, and there are two unreliable narrators here as well as a wickedly twisted and fast-paced plot that leaves numerous questions unanswered... readers who enjoy a creepy thriller that will keep them guessing will be unable to put this down." --Booklist (starred review), on Only Daughter
"ONLY DAUGHTER by Anna Snoekstra is a dark meditation on the secrets we keep about our families and about ourselves. Twisty, slippery, and full of surprises, this web of lies will ensnare you and keep you riveted until you’ve turned the final page."--Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of Ink and Bone.
