Book Review:Lethal Legacy by Irene Hannon

Kelly Warren is not one bit convinced that her father's death was a suicide, even when all the evidence supports it. Something is just not right, and finally, she gets something that may prove murder. Detective Cole Taylor has to deal with the daughter in denial, which might not be such a bad thing considering she is quite pretty. Still, it seems that no matter how pretty she is, it can't make the evidence support her theory. In fact it's not until someone seems to want Kelly out of the picture, that he keeps digging and finds a very dangerous secret. Now he needs to get to the bottom of the secret before it's too late for Kelly!

As the third book in the Guardians of Justice Series, I think it would be better to read the others before reading this, as she does refer to the people from past books quite a bit. Still, you could read it as a stand alone novel and get to know the main characters without them. I usually can guess who the bad guy is pretty early in these books (even though you do find out early on in the story anyway) - but it does make it suspenseful and keeps you turning pages well into the night! I usually read these in one day :-) My only problem with these books is how early the characters always seem to fall for each other - I prefer the action part over the romance parts but it doesn't bother me enough to stop me reading them!
