Hazel Micallef Mystery

review 1: Fast paced and interesting mystery that keeps you turning the pages. Hazel is a DI with the Canadian police and she has a complicated puzzle to solve. The clues are composed of an item in a pond, a mysterious web cam picture that keeps changing, a serialized story in the local newspaper and a missing person. This case is related to a past, supposedly resolved, death but all is not as it seems. The characters, especially Hazel, are very appealing with unexpected depths.
