Hazel Cho is back, and she’s better than ever! A quick-witted, sharp-tongued private detective with a knack for getting under people’s skin, Hazel is the kind of character you just can't get enough of. Each case she tackles grows more intense, but this time, things might hit a little too close to home.
After setting up shop with her partner Kenny, Hazel is living the dream. But when an old friend, Shavali, reaches out for help, things take a dramatic turn. Shavali is defending a young man accused of murdering a priest, and with just a week left before trial, she’s convinced her client is innocent. But why did the case make it to trial so quickly? When the murder involves a Catholic priest, poisoning, and ties to a child abuse settlement, the archdiocese—and everyone connected to it—wants to bury the truth fast. As Hazel digs deeper, she uncovers more than she bargained for: more questions, more answers, a web of red herrings, ominous red letters, and dead bodies that pile up faster than she can process.
As always, my predictions were off. By 50%, by 80%—I was completely wrong! The ending completely blindsided me, and all my guesses about how it would unfold were tossed out the window. I can only hope there’s more of Hazel Cho to come. From the moment she dives into the investigation, it’s clear: she’s a private detective like no other. With her razor-sharp mind, relentless drive, and a complexity that sticks with you long after the case is closed, Hazel is a character who leaves an indelible mark.
