A Lethal Legacy
Heather Graham

Reviewed by Annetta Sweetko

Thriller | Romance Suspense

It is simple, take a nearly deserted island home and turn it into a mini resort for New Yorkers to get away from the concrete of the city. Problem is the island is cursed, been scenes of tragic deaths, pirates haven, and gangster prohibition stop and lastly the bank robbers missing haul and their deaths. Finn Douglas tempts fate hoping that the curse won't turn his inheritance into A LETHAL LEGACY. Finn's partner and friend's broken body is found at the base of one of the rocky cliffs, and Finn knows it wasn't an accident, so he calls in his cousin. Special Agent Craig Fraiser gets an unexpected call from his cousin and quickly finds himself and his fiancee, psychologist Kieran Finnegan, stepping into a supposed accident scene. It might have been an accident, but it feels off to Craig so he begins his investigation with his partner Mike and future brother-in-law Danny in tow. A LETHAL LEGACY will hold you spellbound! Craig, Kieran and Danny are fan favorites, but author Heather Graham has added in Finn and other people that you look at one way and then wonder how you were fooled. Amazing twists and turns will have you turning the pages faster and faster as we delve into the family dynamics, lost treasure, bank robbers and aliens. (Yes -- aliens -- the flying saucer, maybe not little green men, who visited the Earth before and might come again.) One of the things I love to do while reading a mystery is to figure it out before I get to the last page. Often I am pretty good at it, with this one I was so far off it wasn't funny. The bad guy(s) completely took me by surprise especially when we thought it was over only to be once again shocked by the unexpected finale. A LETHAL LEGACY is a great read that will keep you on your toes as far as the mystery goes, but also get into families, the continuing sweet and steamy romance between Craig and Kieran. The Finnegan family might be in the background, but they are present with Danny and his historical knowledge. That is another thing I always enjoy is learning something new. I didn't even know there were private islands off New York and, yes, I looked them up and was intrigued with the idea and the history that must be alive there. So if you want a sweet and steamy romance, family dynamics, danger and intrigue with a lot of sneaky twists and turns, put aside whatever your plans are and get your hands on A LETHAL LEGACY.

SUMMARY

Douglas Island sits off the coast of New York State, its imposing cliffs warning away visitors. Still, Finn Douglas has big plans for his inheritance and the rambling manor house that dominates the landscape. He has a vision to turn the island into a resort getaway for overworked city dwellers. But when the broken body of his business partner is found at the base of the rocky escarpment, he fears it wasn’t an accident. Special Agent Craig Frasier agrees to help his cousin Finn by investigating and, with psychologist Kieran Finnegan at his side, heads to the island. As Craig and Kieran delve into the history of the Douglas estate, they discover that the property comes complete with strange lore and a blood-soaked past. Something evil seems to be lurking in the caverns that run beneath the stony ground. Is there something on the island that someone is willing to kill to protect? Kieran and Craig take on a dangerous search for the truth, where one false step could send them plummeting to their deaths, and one wrong turn could bring them face-to-face with a killer.
