A murky family legacy, tribal tights and a troubled marriage swirl around a suspicious death in Washington's Cascade Mountains.
Fractured Legacy (Bennett & Hastings Publishing, May 30, 2014) is the story of a complex murder investigation that affects and changes the lives of those surrounding it.
Sara Winter has reached a crisis point in her Cascade Adventures business and also with her husband Jeff. Bebe Sorensen is distressed to find her protected life as a local historical archivist invaded. Police detective Bill McHugh tries to sort out what may be a murder, and rapidly finds that big business and political interests across the mountains in Seattle are closely following his progress. The twin Tomson brothers, heirs to a valued mountain property, are increasingly the focus of the investigation.
Everyone learns that there are just as many forces hindering as helping the discovery of what is at the heart of it all.
I found characters to be well fleshed, credible, some are not completely likeable, on the other hand. that is what we find in life in general. Situations and locales are chock-full with dynamism, discourse is realistic, convincing and set down in satisfactory manner. Movement of the narrative grips the reader at the inception, clenches reader attentiveness with a powerful grasp from opening lines to the last paragraphs and leaves the reader with a sentiment of a saga jam-packed with twists and turns, major themes and minor is one well done.
Fractured Legacy is writer Neff’s 6th in a succession of works set in the Cascades; a milieu he knows well.
