An inconceivable disaster brings Tori Winters’ plans for the historic house she inherited to a traumatic standstill. A section of the escape tunnel built by her great-grandfather, a notorious Dallas gangster, has collapsed. Within the rubble, there is a gruesome discovery. A skeleton with a bullet hole in the skull.
The shocking cave-in triggers an ominous scheme to condemn her property as accusations arise that the tunnel is dangerous.
Embattled, Tori soon discovers that more than the destruction of the house is on the line. It seems she can’t escape the past. It keeps clawing its way into her life with deadly consequences.
Who hides in the shadows with a motive for murder? And … is Tori the target?
Award-winning Author Anita Dickason is a twenty-two-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department. She served as a patrol officer, undercover narcotics detective, advanced accident investigator, tactical officer, and first female sniper on the Dallas SWAT team.
Anita writes about what she knows, cops and crime. Her police background provides an unending source of inspiration for her plots and characters. Many incidents and characters portrayed in her books are based on personal experience. For her, the characters are the fun part of writing as she never knows where they will take her. There is always something out of the ordinary in her stories.
In Anita’s debut novel, Sentinels of the Night, she created an elite FBI Unit, the Trackers. Since then, she has added three more Tracker crime thrillers, Going Gone!, A u 7 9, and Operation Navajo, which are not a series and can be read in any order, and Deadly Business, a crime thriller.
As a Texas author, many of Anita’s books are based in Texas, or there is a link to Texas. When she stepped outside of the Tracker novels and wrote Not Dead and the Tori Winters Mysteries series, she set them in the small Texas communities of Meridian and Granbury, respectively.
Thank you to LSBBT and author Anita
Dickason for a copy of Murder’s Legacy. This is the second Tori Winter Mystery
I’ve read.
Tori, who inherited a mansion from a grandmother
she never knew, is determined to convert the beautiful old house into a graceful
inn, but once again, trouble comes calling. A tunnel built by her gambler
grandfather, caves in during reconstruction and a body, long dead is found. To
make matters worse, someone is determined to shut down her plans and have the
property condemned. But Tori is made of tougher stuff and fights to save her
dream.
Murder’s Legacy is a fun, fast read with a
great set of characters, especially Tori, a kind woman with a penchant for
collecting friends. She may seem soft on the outside, but she has an inner core
of steel and woe be to those who underestimate her. The dual mysteries are well
plotted with a surprise ending.
I really enjoyed this second instalment of
the Tori Winter Mysteries series and highly recommend it to readers who enjoy a
good mystery story. Although it can stand alone, I advise readers to begin with
book one for a full understanding of the plot.
I give this book 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
