Compelling atmospheric mystery thriller.
A persistent drought has lowered the levels of Mirror Lake as Hazel Sharp returns to claim her childhood home. Her father, beloved police detective, recently died and she has to face the two brothers she left behind ages ago. The house by the lake is not all that was left to Hazel in her father's will. Things that had been hidden in the depths of the lake are exposed. As the shock ripples through the family and the community, some secrets and lies are revealed and everything Hazel believed is now suspect.
I thoroughly enjoyed the mounting suspense and tension as Hazel makes her discoveries and faces the challenges of the revelations about her family. I liked the twists and turns and was trying to figure out everything along with Hazel. I liked her as a protagonist. The small-town atmosphere and the dry conditions set a great scene for the story.
I listened to the audiobook while following along with the e-book ARC provided by the publisher. The narrator, Ines Del Castillo, did a fantastic job voicing the characters and making them all sound unique. The production enhanced my enjoyment of the book.
This is a standalone and is not part of any series.
Genre - mystery thriller, suspense
