About the Book
Book: Legacy of Lies
Author: Christy Barritt
Genre: Suspense
Release date: November 15, 2021
The justice system failed her family—and so did her hometown.
Madison Colson knows deep down that her father—a convicted serial killer—is innocent. But believing it and proving it are two entirely different things. Unable to help her father, Madison has spent most of her adult life overcompensating by helping others. When her aunt dies unexpectedly, duty calls her back to Fog Lake, Tennessee, a beautiful but painful place she’d rather forget.
Terrifying events begin to unfold once she arrives, unleashing her worst nightmares. The Good Samaritan Killer—or a copycat—is back, and now Madison Colson is his target.
FBI Special Agent Shane Townsend is determined to stop the deadly rampage that has sent the tightknit community into a frenzy. But he needs to earn Madison’s trust first. The task feels impossible, especially considering his father is the one who put her dad in prison.
With the whole town on edge and pointing fingers, tension escalates out of control. Madison and Shane must sort the facts from the lies—and fight for a legacy of truth—before The Good Samaritan Killer has the final say.

More from Christy
I wrote Legacy of Lies after watching an interview on TV of a woman whose father killed several people. I tried to put myself in her shoes. How did she cope under the weight of what her father had done? How did people treat her differently? How did her father’s decisions affect her future? From there, I had the idea to highlight a group of three siblings who were dealing with this. I’d already done another four-book series in the mountain town of Fog Lake, Tennessee, and I really loved setting those books there. I decided to revisit the area and make it the place where these three siblings had grown up—and where they had to return.

My Review
Legacy of Lies: The Colsons is the fifth installment from Christy Barritt’s Fog Lake Suspense series. Since I have not had the pleasure of reading the other books in the series, I believe this can be read as a stand alone. I thought this was a fabulous read. It is full of mystery, suspense, and romance. I was hooked from the beginning and all the way to the end. I enjoyed the plot and great characters.
I am giving Legacy of Lies: The Colsons five stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean romantic suspense. I am looking forward to reading the previous books from the Fog Lake Suspense series to see what has happened before this one.
I received a digital copy of Legacy of Lies: The Colsons from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
