Miller 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. Read what everyone's saying about The Orphanage By The Lake: My heart is still pounding...What just happened? I’m an adult, how did a book shake me to my core...I tell ya, this one is good, real good. --Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Devoured in twenty-four hours, it's the best book I've read in a long, long time.” --Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This one blew me away! My heart is still in my throat as I finish it; it's a creepy, wild ride...It's dark and edgy but oh so good! Can't wait for Miller's next novel! --Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heartbreaking and haunting, I won’t forget about Hazel or Mia anytime soon. Highly recommend this one! --Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read less Review: Outstandingly capturing read! You need his book in your collection! - I'm a sucker for a good thriller and purchased this book on a hunch and a whim. I can tell you, that was one of the best spontaneous purchases I've ever made! I am a stay at home mom with a full schedule, and still got this book read in two weeks! I could not put it down! This has been one of the best books I've read. The suspense builds and builds, and just when you think you've figured it out it turns a curve. It will have you thinking, and it made me feel like I was on this adventure with the main character. I found myself gasping out loud, and shushing those around me to dive deeper into this beautifully written story. Very relatable, down to Earth, and then when you finally get to the parts where you find out what happened, it gets deeper still. I cannot say enough about this book, but what it is, is a mouthwatering, suspenseful, thrilling roller coaster of mystery and crime that will leave you wanting more! I can't wait for the next book to come out in July this year!!! Review: A good read - A quick fun read! I enjoyed it, not super long and great little PI novel! I’d definitely read another mystery by the author. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #82,003 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #199 in Suspense Thrillers #1,365 in Private Investigator Mysteries (Books) #1,427 in Literature & Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 26,965 Reviews | ## Images ![The Orphanage By The Lake: A Captivating Psychological Crime Thriller With A Twist - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nCS552TDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstandingly capturing read!

I’d definitely read another mystery by the author. ### ⭐⭐⭐ it was good *by M***L on November 2, 2024* Ok. First off. I have no idea how to write a novel and truly admire people who do. This author is talented. This is just my opinion. If I don’t believe that certain situations would happen I kind of lose interest in the book. That said the characters on here were good. Its first person novel so I enjoyed that. The description of New York in the fall and the rain descriptions was very well done. The main character Hazel was a little bit corny to me. I enjoyed the novel overall. Continue to write Daniel. I appreciate you. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Orphanage By The Lake: A Captivating Psychological Crime Thriller With A Twist - Those Empty Eyes: A Chilling Novel of Suspense with a Shocking Twist - Then She Was Gone: A Novel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/612510120-the-orphanage-by-the-lake-a-captivating-psychological-crime-thriller](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/612510120-the-orphanage-by-the-lake-a-captivating-psychological-crime-thriller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
