Description



Book Synopsis



A MISSING GIRL. AN ORPHANAGE FILLED WITH SECRETS.

Hazel wants a new life.

She's thirty years old, single, and her private investigation business is months away from folding.

Her luck takes a turn when Madeline Hemsley, a mysterious socialite, pays Hazel a visit with an offer too enticing to resist. An orphan girl has disappeared from a children's home--The Orphanage By The Lake, as the locals call it--and Madeline wants Hazel to find her.

At first glance, it appears to be a standard runaway case, but as Hazel plunges into the investigation, she finds signs of something more: unexplained blood stains, cryptic symbols, sinister figures shadowing her every move. The more she digs, the more she realizes that The Orphanage By The Lake holds terrifying secrets, and even worse...

...so does Madeline.

Fans of Freida McFadden's The Housemaid, Charlie Donlea's The Girl Who Was Taken, and Karin Slaughter's Pretty Girls will love this twisty, suspenseful thill-ride.



Review Quotes




"Hazel Cho is a P.I. working out of Chinatown in New York City. Hazel has major league smarts, uncommon ingenuity, charm, and enough humanizing flaws to make her irresistible. So what are you waiting for - go read The Orphanage by the Lake." -- James Patterson, New York Times bestselling author



"Saint Agnes--a sanctuary with a dark secret. When Manhattan PI Hazel Cho is asked to trace a girl gone missing from a revered children's home, it looks like a straightforward case. But nothing in Daniel G. Miller's gripping story is straightforward--not when a respected headmaster, a charming philanthropist, and the girl's own godmother all have something to hide. Top-notch suspense in an idyllic setting make for great fireside reading. Recommended." -- G.M. Malliet, Agatha Award-winning author of the Max Tudor mysteries



"The Orphanage by the Lake is an intriguing mystery that lures you into a a world of secrets and keeps you reading till the last page." -- Kat Martin, New York Times bestselling author



"Twisting and impossible to put down, The Orphanage by the Lake will thrill any fan of psychological mysteries." -- Darcy Coates, USA Today bestselling author of Dead of Winter

Mehh...

It was alright. I have definitely read better. It honestly reads like a 20 year old girl wrote it, IMO. That might be your jam, it wasn’t mine. The plot twist was interesting. But I wouldn’t recommend this book if you like mystery. There’s definitely better mystery books out there.
