This book is a recent book that was published February 2024. I loved how the author made Hazel's problems sound real and how he didn't make the investigation so easy. Apart from the investigation, the book also shows us how Hazel struggles with self doubts but also steadfastly.
To me, Hazel isn't really a likable character, but I like her determination towards the case. Because as someone who also struggles with self doubt, I can relate. like she thinks she can't do it but does it anyway and see how things go.
Hazel is a 30-year-old private investigator. Struggling to keep her business, she is sure that all hope is lost but when Madeline a wealthy woman offers her the case of Mia a missing girl from the orphanage. She promises Hazel a huge amount of money that is hard to be rejected.
Hazel thinks that this is just a normal run away case, but as she dives closer, she realises that this might be deeper and darker than she expected. She finds blood stains and the looks of someone following her. It seems that everyone linked to the orphanage may be entangled somehow.
Is the orphanage hiding something?
R/W Rating - 8.5/10
