MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
Kelly Warren knows for sure that her dad’s death was murder, but proving it might not be so easy. It was an attempt on Kelly’s own life that detective Cole Taylor starts to believe her suspicions are right. Prompting him to dig and search until he finds enough evidence to re-open the case. What will Cole find out? And can he keep is personal feeling for Kelly at bay enough to stay on the case until its over?
Any book by Irene Hannon is storytelling at it’s very best. She has a way of telling a story that will pull you in from the very first page and engulf you until you read the last word. Just as it was with me as I read “Lethal Legacy.” The characters are so well crafted and believable that it felt like reading a real-life story. Kelly was a quiet sweet Christian young lady who mostly stayed to herself. She had a close relationship with her dad and was determined to find his killer. And since the detective who had the case earlier was on vacation, who by the good-looking, hot, Cole Taylor was assigned to review the case for her. Cole was also a likeable person, and his close nit family really gave the book a more personal touch. A very touching story, one that will stay with readers for a long time after you finish reading.
If you are a suspense lover, then this book is a must, one you will not be disappointed in. And if you just like a good, clean, enjoyable read, then you will love this book too. And if you are like me and stay up until the wee hours of the morning finishing “Lethal Legacy,” believe me, every night sound you hear will scare the wits out of you! But that’s the fun of reading a suspense!
I highly recommend this book for your reading enjoyment. Grab a copy of this one, and the others in this series for a few great reads!
