Hazel is the daughter of Mirror Lake’s local detective and has unexpectedly inherited her childhood home. She warily returns to the town and people she’s avoided for almost a decade. A drought has descended on the region, causing a drop in the lake’s water levels, and revealing long-hidden secrets… including evidence that can help solve the mystery of Hazel’s mother’s disappearance. 

 

DAUGHTER OF MINE has an exquisitely written, atmospheric setting. I love Megan Miranda’s settings – they’re always so well done and feel truly eerie and immersive. 

 

The characters are interesting with great characterization and intricate interpersonal family dynamics. The plot is compelling, mysterious, and well-written. It is more of a slow burn mystery, but it is highly captivating as the story unfolds to a nail-biting ending. 

 

The audiobook narration is very well done, easily bringing the story to life. I’ll be on the lookout for Miranda’s next book!
