Review: Legacy of Lies (Fog Lake Suspense #5) by Christy Barritt

About the Book
The justice system failed her family—and so did her hometown.

Madison Colson knows deep down that her father—a convicted serial killer—is innocent. But believing it and proving it are two entirely different things. Unable to help her father, Madison has spent most of her adult life overcompensating by helping others. When her aunt dies unexpectantly, duty calls her back to Fog Lake, Tennessee, a beautiful but painful place she’d rather forget.

Terrifying events begin to unfold once she arrives, unleashing her worst nightmares. The Good Samaritan Killer—or a copycat—is back, and now Madison Colson is his target.

FBI Special Agent Shane Townsend is determined to stop the deadly rampage that has sent the tightknit community into a frenzy. But he needs to earn Madison’s trust first. The task feels impossible, especially considering his father is the one who put her dad in prison.

With the whole town on edge and pointing fingers, tension escalates out of control. Madison and Shane must sort the facts from the lies—and fight for a legacy of truth—before The Good Samaritan Killer has the final say.

MY THOUGHTS

Legacy of Lies was another good mystery from Christy Barritt. This series is a little darker than her norm, but it's just as good. This book gave us a few peeks into the first-person perspective of the killer, which added even more chills. So creepy!

The action starts right at the very beginning and just keeps ramping up. It features a solid mystery with lots of suspense that kept me guessing. I read the majority of it in one afternoon; I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed this return visit to Fog Lake and am looking forward to visiting again. Highly recommended for fans of romantic suspense!

FOUR STARS
