Description

A spine-tingling new suspense-thriller from bestselling author Daniel G. Miller that will keep your heart racing to the last page.

A DEAD BODY. A MYSTERIOUS RED LETTER.

Hazel has everything she wants.

Business is booming at her boutique private investigation firm. She's dating the man of her dreams. Even her perpetually skeptical mother seems impressed. Then the NYPD finds a beloved neighborhood priest dead along with a mysterious red letter.

Hazel investigates the murder as a favor to an old friend and discovers that the priest wasn't the only recent murder victim to receive a red letter...and one victim has ties to a psychopath from a past life that Hazel thought she had buried. One by one, the red letters continue to appear, and with every letter, another killing, each more mysterious than the last.

As Hazel closes in on the killer, the killer closes in on her, and Hazel begins to question everything she thought she knew about herself and the people around her. Even worse, Hazel discovers that the only way to find the truth is to open one more...

Massive thank you and shout out to Daniel G. Miller for the link to this ARC.

I read Orphanage by the Lake last year, and recommend it to pretty much everyone. To say I was dying for this one is an understatement!!

Hazel is back to face her first possible serial killer. She's been through a lot, and doesn't want to take the case. Until her boyfriend asks her to, that is. Then the whirlwind of jaw dropping clues and twists keep you guessing, right to the end. The characters are (mostly) likeable and solidly built with growth from the previous book, which makes it even harder to distinguish potential suspects.

This is another I will be recommending to anyone and everyone.

I finished The Orphanage By The Lake two days ago and upon putting it into my goodreads, realized it was actually part of a series!! Immediately I knew I needed to get my hands on The Red Letter. I was so disappointed that the release was pushed back to July but Daniel G Miller so kindly gave a link to his readers to access the book through Netgalley, early. Love him for that.

Everything I loved about The Orphanage, I loved about this book. The characters, chefs kiss. The twist, loved it. The overall story, easy to follow but still interesting af.

I'm hooked and I can't wait to see if there's going to be a book 3!

Thank you to Netgalley, to Daniel G Miller, and to the publisher for the ARC!
