Zoe Chambers and partner Earl are responding to an emergency call
for an ambulance at a farm with a possible DOA named James Engle, an apparent
suicide while Zoe remembers what her mother Kimberly revealed regarding the
death of Zoe’s Uncles Vernon and Denver, the previous owners, one shot and the
other hanged in the same barn as Engle. During the regular police investigation,
something does not quite add up and Zoe begins researching the deaths of Vernon
and Denver and James Engle leading to unanswered questions and exploration into
the passing of her father Gary Chambers. Zoe is frustrated with the visit from
her mother Kimberly and her stepfather Tom with her mother always criticizing
every decision Zoe makes about her life but tries to amend the situation while obtaining
the answers she lacks with reference to her father and uncles.
Police Chief Pete Adams also has questions regarding Engle’s
death and aids Zoe with her probing into the cases from twenty seven years ago finding
incomplete police records resulting in more murders committed as they come
closer to solving the cases. Chief Adams adds to his plate the supervision of
his father who has early stages of Alzheimer disease and his feelings for Zoe,
which grows stronger by the day and a little shy to make it known to her.
Lost Legacy is a suspenseful
mystery with several twists and interesting characters that will keep you
wondering what is going to happen next as Zoe and Pete investigate mysterious
suicide cases. This is the second book in A
Zoe Chambers Mystery series that is a good crime mystery for readers who
are amateur sleuths and love a good crime drama to read. This novel is
recommended to crime mystery and mystery suspense genre lovers, which by no
means disappoints.
I received this book from Henery Press through the Net Galley
reviewer program in exchange for an honest opinion in accordance with the
Federal Trade Commission guidelines.
