Thank you Simon Element and Netgalley for my copy of DAUGHTER OF MINE by Megan Miranda, out 4/9/24! 

One of my favorite thriller writers did it again! This story follows Hazel Sharp, daughter of Mirror Lake’s longtime local detective. When her father passes, he leaves the home unexpectedly to her instead of her two brothers, who are the blood of him while she is not. See, her mother disappeared years ago without a trace, leaving her with her stepfather and his two sons and he raised her as his own.

Now that she’s back in town, the water level in the lake starts to drop and long-hidden secrets begin to emerge, including evidence that could finally explain her mother’s disappearance. 

What a unique premise full of twists, turns and fascinating supporting characters. This wasn’t my favorite Miranda, but I loved the narrator struggling to figure out who she could trust and who she couldn’t. It made for an enticing atmosphere and plot line that keeps you guessing to the very end.
