USA TODAY BESTSELLER
"Irresistible!"—James Patterson
A MISSING GIRL. AN ORPHANAGE FILLED WITH SECRETS.
Hazel wants a new life.
She’s thirty years old, single, and her private investigation business is months away from folding.
Her luck takes a turn when Madeline Hemsley, a mysterious socialite, pays Hazel a visit with an offer too enticing to resist. An orphan girl has disappeared from a children’s home—The Orphanage By The Lake, as the locals call it—and Madeline wants Hazel to find her.
At first glance, it appears to be a standard runaway case, but as Hazel plunges into the investigation, she finds signs of something more: unexplained blood stains, cryptic symbols, sinister figures shadowing her every move. The more she digs, the more she realizes that The Orphanage By The Lake holds terrifying secrets, and even worse…
…so does Madeline.
Fans of Freida McFadden's The Housemaid, Charlie Donlea's The Girl Who Was Taken, and Karin Slaughter's Pretty Girls will love this twisty, suspenseful thill-ride.

It is said that chess grandmasters can envision a match’s outcome 10 moves before it occurs. Imagine a person who can visualize 10 steps ahead, not simply in the game of chess, but in every human interaction. Imagine a person who could anticipate what you would say before you said it, who could see a punch before it was thrown. Imagine a secret that could make all of this possible. Albert, a Princeton mathematics professor, is such a person, and as he is thrust into a murder and burglary investigation on campus he finds that the secret is buried in an obscure cipher.

Story
The walls hold secrets no one else can hear. The mirror shows a perfect life—beauty, wealth, happiness. But behind the door, the truth is far darker. The air feels heavy, every moment filled with quiet threats. Every step is careful, every breath fragile. He’s always watching. Always waiting. "Sometimes, doing the right thing means breaking everything you’ve ever stood for. There’s only so much a person can take. The lies, the hurt, the pressure to keep everything together—it can break you." This isn’t a story with a happy ending. It’s about survival.

This story had me suspicious of every single person that Hazel came across including those close to her. This was a well built up mystery with variety of characters.
The clues were dropped here and there for the reader to determine the outcome, but even if you are sure you know the answer, you probably don’t.
The narrator blew this one out of the park. They captured every character and had a unique and distinguished voice to keep them apart. They were on que for every emotion and perfected even the suspenseful moments. Plain and simple, this narrator executed an exquisite performance.
I highly recommend the book, especially the audiobook.
*This does contain some triggers so if you are sensitive to certain topics, proceed with caution.
Providing those triggers would contain spoilers, but they aren’t taken to the extreme. They are tactfully brought up and not romanticized.
