Lost Legacy

Zoe Chambers Mystery, Book 2

By: Annette Dashofy

Narrated by: Romy Nordlinger

On a sultry summer afternoon, paramedic Zoe Chambers responds to a call and finds a farmer's body hanging from the rafters of his hay barn. What first appears to be a suicide quickly becomes something sinister when Zoe links the victim to a pair of deaths 45 years earlier. Her attempts to wheedle information from her mother and stepfather hit a brick wall of deception, one that brings into question everything Zoe knows about her late father, who died in a car crash when she was eight. Or did he?

Police Chief Pete Adams fears Zoe's inquiries are setting her up for deeper heartbreak and putting her in danger. As Zoe and Pete inch closer to the truth, they discover that a missing gun links the crimes which span more than four decades. But the killer isn't done. Two more Vance Township residents fall victim to the same gun, and when tragedy strikes too close to home, Zoe realizes her family is in the crosshairs.

Critic reviews

" Lost Legacy has it all: an absorbing plot, compelling characters, haunting echoes from the past, and a protagonist you're going to love. A must read." (Don Helin, author of Secret Assault)

Twisty Timey-Wimey

Four (Five?!) murders! Forty years! Uncomfortable parent interactions! Pining! Who could ask for more, really?

Great summer read!

amateur-sleuth, cozy-mystery, suspense, mystery, law-enforcement, family-dynamics, friendship

A fast paced mystery full of red herrings and other distractions that kept me reading it all day! Well drawn characters who interact in both predictable and totally different ways. Loved it!
Narrator Romy Nordlinger uses drama when needed and a matter of fact approach when appropriate.

I recommend this series!

This was a great book. I enjoy the characters and cannot wait for another in this series. It was worth the credit. I have recommended this series to my book club friends.

Very good story

Entertaining story line. It kept my interest. Zoe does typical stupid actions in last chapter, leading to typical, predictable ending.

One very annoying issue - when people die by hanging they are hanged, not hung. Stockings are hung by fireplace, people are hanged.

Poor production good story

Narrator forgets to change voices a lot of times and there is no pause between the end of one scene when it switches to another. Very annoying but you can still get through it. I had a lot of those "Wait, who's speaking now," moments. I blame the producer/director not the author.
