reddhead16 's review for:

The Orphanage By The Lake by Daniel G. Miller

5.0

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

---

I am impressed with Hazel. Despite the extreme time crunch that Madeline gives her in which to find the missing Mia, she works fast, finds leads and despite some scary threats from scarred men, keeps at it and with this fast reading thriller, solves the case in the nick of time. It does get pretty dark and there are a few dead bodies but is a good mystery thriller that flows well. Hazel is quite the interesting character and I think her private detective agency will go far, especially when Kenny is added to the team. I cannot wait to see what their next case will be and though I do not see the charm of living in the big city, I wish Hazel the best luck in finding a parking space and solving her next case and maybe finding a guy that is right for her (even if her parents don't approve).
