"Irresistible!" — James Patterson
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. Crime Thrillers Psychological Suspense Thriller & Suspense Exciting
Unexpected Twists • Engaging Mystery • Superb Narration • Compelling Plot • Exquisite Performance • Captivating Delivery

I enjoyed the story. The characters could be kind of annoying at time, but not enough to stop listening. The narrator wasn't bad. I didnt care for the ending of the story, but overall it was enjoyable and would recommend.

Ok, Hazel! Where others failed, she was determined not to, even with being given such a ridiculous timeline. With every new piece of information or evidence found, it seems everyone is liable, and the reveal will catch you off guard. Great book, I highly recommend it!

Hazel has grit!

The plot was okay, but I seen what was coming. It was an easy read. The writing was good but it got bogged down with the repetitive I look awful… Woe is me… from the FMC. The ending was good, somewhat of a happy ending. The FMC is a foodie, which I enjoyed.
