Summary
Three deaths in two weeks, and she could be the next victim.
The biggest dangers bookstore owner Del Peterson faces are paper cuts and aching feet until a gift draws her into the center of a federal investigation, and she's taken into custody as a material witness. When Del's safe house is breached and a marshal dies protecting her, she turns to the man she knows has the skills to help.
Two years ago, Josh Cahill transitioned from elite Delta warrior to small-town cop. When a federal judge is murdered, nothing will stop him from protecting the woman he loves. With help from his Delta unit and friends at Fortress Security, Josh sets a trap to capture the shooter. Though he vowed to protect her, bringing down the man behind the shooter might require Josh to take Del into the heart of danger.

The Gangs all here!
Del and her cousin Ivy are at the Judges home cataloguing his late Mother's books when he is assassinated. So starts a nightmare for the girls especially when it becomes apparent that the killer may be ex special forces.
Josh Cahill worried for the girls safety swears to protect them even if it means going against the FBI. To that end he asks for help from his fellow Delta warriors.
Finally we get to see Josh in action as the Specs Ops warrior that he is and meet his best friend Alex, Team Durango and the best Fortress Security has to offer. But when facing a stone cold killer will even their combined strength and skill be enough to keep the woman he cares about alive or is Del doomed to die.
I loved, loved this book featuring the last remaining Cahill sibling to fall and fall hard.

Always pay attention to the spiders.
Otter Creek's bookseller, Del Patterson, had been called to inventory the vast collection of books left by one of her favourite customers following her untimely death a few days before. With her was Ivy, her cousin, staying with her after her escape from an abusive partnership. But the pair had barely started working when Del found Judge Reece, the dead women's son, murdered in his office. That night someone broke into De!'s home and only the fast arrival of Josh, an ex special ops. man now working for the local police, probably saved their lives. Coincidence? Josh didn't think so. With the arrival of F.B.I.man, Jordan, muddying the water, the race began to catch the dangerous perpetrator whilst providing much needed protection for the two women.
As a thriler, Fatal legacy is excellent, with good, fast paced action, conflict amongst the law agencies, normal everyday interaction (like cooking and chatting) in between frenzied activity and the sometimes creepy location descriptions. But for this reader, the who!e was marred by the over sentimenta!used and patronizing romance which oozes out at every possible moment. No, this reader is not a fan of that genre but, done well, the introduction of a love aspect can enhance a story, as Rebecca Deel has proved in earlier Otter Creek books. But this time, the constant endearments of, in particular, 'beautiful' and 'sweatheart' in almost every sentence, coupled with the plucky little woman sentiments (even when the women in question were crying and fainting with fear, or moaning with pain over a simple twisted ankle already raised up and not in use) became intensively irritating. So much so, this reader found it hard to continuing to listen to the final few chapters, despite the excellent narration of Kristina Fuller Yuen. Her reading was clearly articulated with good intonation and emotional presentation of text and characters. Her voicing for all of the protagonists was separately different and distinctive, appropriate for each one, also. And throughout she kept a fast pace. A very nice performance.
My thanks to the rights ho!der, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy of Fatal Legacy, via Audiobook Boom. Although I did not enjoy this one, for the reasons noted above, it has not deterred me from looking forward to any other Otter Creek stories should they occur. The delight of small town mysteries is re-meeting the folks from earlier books and I still retain a fondness for the town triplets with their penchant for officers of the police and, especially, the elderly and nosey local author.
