Description
What dark secret is hidden in her past? What evil has been handed down through the generations?
Emily Burton found happiness in a small, picturesque town on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Her sense of peace and security is shattered when she’s brutally attacked, and an innocent person is murdered. The authorities believe the incident is random, until Emily becomes the target of further violence and threats.
With the help of her enigmatic neighbor, she uncovers an eerily similar crime that dates back sixty years. Could there be a connection between the two attacks? Did malevolence stretch its deadly arm across generations?
Emily is convinced there’s a link, but she needs to find it before it finds her.

Thank you Netgalley and Black Rose Writing for this ARC.
A well written and enjoyable mystery.
Emily Burton lives in a pretty little town on Vancouver Island. She's attacked while running on the beach in a very similar way to a crime 60 years earlier. She then becomes the victim of more violence. Is there a connection to the decades old crime? With the help of her mysterious new neighbour she searches for the link before it's too late.

Thank you NetGalley and Black Rose Writing for the eARC.
Having lived in Canada for 20 years, I love books set there, but unfortunately I have never been to the West Coast and it's definitely on my bucket list!
Emily is enjoying her life living on the coast with her beloved Lab, Max and making a decent living making pottery. She has a group of great friends and life is good until, while running on the beach, she's attacked and almost strangled to death. A good Samaritan helps, but is killed in the process.
All at once her life is ruined as someone seems determined to kill her and she finds herself terrified, not trusting anyone, not even her good friends. A new neighbor decides to look after her and for some reason she trusts him and allows him in her life. While doing some research, she realizes a similar attack occurred 60 years ago...is there a connection?
I liked her (loved Max!), although I worried about some of the decisions she made.
The setting is wonderful, it made me want to get on a plane and visit the island, it sounds so beautiful.
All in all it's a good mystery that made me tear through the book and I definitely recommend it.

Thank you NetGalley and Black Rose Writing for the ARC in ebook form of Legacy Of Fear! My apology for the delay but still wanted to send my review!! Emily has a great life in a nice little town. She is enjoying life until she is attacked brutally while running! After all the dust settles she finds her attack is similar to one that happened 60 years earlier? Are these two crimes similar in any way?? I like to read murder mysteries that keep me interested and this one I couldn’t put down!!! I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read from start to end!!! This is a good one!
