Legacy of Lies by Robert Bailey

4.0

I snatched up this book because I got an early copy of the second book in this series. I cannot say that I am disappointed. This new-to-me author is one I can't wait to read more of.

So, this series is a spin-off from the author's previous series, which I realized very quickly there was a lot of backstory I didn't have. However, that was okay. Even though I would have preferred to have been more informed on the characters, the fact that I wasn't didn't ruin the book for me. I was able to breeze through this book with no issues. I will be going back and reading the previous series though. I can say that with absolute guarantee.

This book had me guessing and second guessing myself all the way through. I thought I knew. Then I changed my mind. I was back and forth with the who from the very start. And let me say, I didn't fully see THAT coming at the very end. However, I think the who is exactly who it should have been, considering. (Am I confusing you?)

This book is the kind of mystery that I typically crave. It's suspenseful. It has enough twists and turns to keep my mind constantly on the book. It has great, developed characters with some very real and interesting pasts that align with their present. The plot is spot on. I can't really sing enough praises for this book.
