What to expect
When Hazel Sharp, daughter of Mirror Lake's longtime local detective, unexpectedly inherits her childhood home, she's warily drawn back to the town - and people - she left behind almost a decade earlier.
But Hazel's not the only relic of the past to return: a drought has descended on the region, and as the water level in the lake drops, long-hidden secrets begin to emerge, including evidence that may help finally explain the mystery of her mother's disappearance . . .

Delicious twists, dark secrets and a deadly past ... Megan Miranda's Daughter of Mine is her best book yet! I've been a fan of Megan's since All the Missing Girls and this book is like its perfect big sister. If you loved the simmering small town drama of Mare of Easttown, then you will be blown away by Daughter of Mine
Ashley Elston, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of FIRST LIE WINS
-
Miranda, a consummate professional when it comes to exposing the small community tensions that naturally arise when people live in close proximity for generations, exposes revelation after twisty revelation . . . Small-town claustrophobia and intimacies alike propel this twist-filled psychological thriller

4.0 5.0
I'd have liked to have given this 4.5 stars, but that's not possible so I settled on 4 - the half-star deduction is purely because I figured out one of the plot points well before the narrator revealed it! Otherwise the novel features the usual slow-burn sense of mounting fear and dread that is Megan Miranda's defining signature. Narration excellent. Well worth a listen.
