"The Dollhouse Murders stands up well as a good mystery, decades after its first printing. Betty Ren Wright has done a commendable job on constructing a different sort of mystery story that is successfully multi-dimensional in its thrust. I think that the temptation in many such stories is to focus almost exclusively on the eerieness of the supernatural events that occur, but The Dollhouse Murders stands tall on several more levels. The author has taken the time and effort to form a family that is made up of realistic and nuanced people, and has also made compelling side issues out of those unique familial connections. In the book, Amy's attention is split between the unexplained autonomous movements of the dolls in her Aunt Clare's old dollhouse in the attic and her mentally impaired sister Louanne, whose own problems add important dimension to the narrative as a whole. Ultimately, I think that this story succeeds for what it is, a tale that is equal parts family drama and supernatural murder mystery. I have always enjoyed this offbeat story."
"oh man, i loved this book as a kid. i remember buying it from one of the annual book fairs at school. a dollhouse that comes to life and tries to help amy solve the murders that happened years ago.
interestingly, when i was teaching in the south bronx, this was the first book that one of my boys picked up and LOVED. he's now a reader - at least, to some degree (the covers have to agree with him) but man. i was so darn happy. i wouldn't like a little self-identified thug would pick up a book about a dollhouse, but hey! go betty wren wright for writing such a great story!"
"This book is about a girl who moves to her aunt's house because of her brain damaged sister keeps bothering her. amy then finds a doll house in her aunt's house. the doll house has dolls that can move by themselves and reveales the truth to who had killed her great grandparents."
