The Red Letter – ARC Book Review

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…

This is the second book of the PI Hazel Cho series.

Hazel Cho is now running a successful PI firm. She was approached by her friend and lawyer, Shavali who hires Hazel for help. Shavali is defending a boy named Sampson who was being accused of killing Father Kleeney through poisoning. Before the poisoning, Father Kleeney receives a Red Letter with Bible verses written on them. Initially, Hazel was reluctant to accept the offer but soon she realizes that there might be a serial killer involved when another person also dies in the similar circumstances as Father Kleeney

I enjoyed reading the first book of Hazel Cho series and so I was super excited when I got the ARC for this book. What I liked about this book is the diversity in the book. You have the main character who is Korean American and then you have the mixture of other races as characters as well. I liked the pacing of the book–it was fast paced, the plot was too engaging and intriguing. There were so many twists and turns and overall and also quiet unputdownable. You have some viable suspects but you are wondering which of these suspects are responsible for the deaths. You also have a mysterious person who is stalking Hazel. The ending was quiet unexpected and was a great twist.

Overall, I enjoyed this one, better than the first book in the series. Worth five stars.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.
