Legacy of Lies starts with a great hook - the discovery of a baby's remains buried in Nicole Matson's grandparent's front yard. Could it be that her sweet, reliable grandfather was involved in the town's most infamous child abduction case? From this beginning, we get an intriguing murder mystery plot, and plenty of internal conflict for the main character.
The romantic subplot between Nicole and the police chief didn't feel 'tacked on', and supplemented the mystery very nicely. Nicole had a very...more

My biggest problem with this novel was not the speed of Rich and Nicole's romance (the epilogue helps this, in addition to the fact that Rich was interested before he even met Nicole). My problem was the fact that there were too many twists and turns in the storyline.

A few less complications would have created an overall more...more
I love Jill Elizabeth Nelson ~ her books are so different and the characters become so real. This book has become one of my favorites ~ it was a definite page turner to the end. Full of suspence ~ mystery ~ and great writing. I couldn't ask for more!
I found myself thinking about this book when I wasn't reading it, so that is a good sign that I was intrigued by the plot. Not crazy about the choice of victims, but good character development and story.
It was a good book and kept you in suspense until the end. I did sort of think about the ending and nailed it before I was finished. Definitely a keeper for my collection of books.

Another great by the Deep POV lady. Great plot, fooled me with the ending. Fast action and a real page turner, highly recommend.
This author is always good but this one was a bit predictable.
