I picked this up because I have enjoyed Megan Miranda in the past and was curious about her new release.
"Daughter of Mine" follows Hazel Sharp. Hazel's father was the beloved detective of the small town of Mirror Lake, a place Hazel ran from years ago. Following his passing, Hazel learns that she inherited his house, much to the protests of her two brothers. Hazel's return to Mirror Lake stirs up more than sibling jealousy however when she discovers an abandoned car in the lake behind the family house, and the car may be linked to a decade's old crime.
This was a fine, fun mystery. Hazel was a fine character to read from, and I enjoyed her confident persona and her approach to not take attitude from anyone.
Ultimately, I enjoyed this story while I read it, but it was not super memorable for me. I think the mystery was well thought out, and although I did not see the ending coming, I was not surprised either. There was something about this story that did not grip me, but I still had a very fine time.
I will definitely keep Megan Miranda on my radar in the future.
