Lethal Legacy is Carol J. Post‘s newest novel in her Murphy, North Carolina series. This Harlequin Love Inspired novel is full of suspense that left me on the edge of my seat.
An author who has proven herself to me time and again, Carol Post has impressed me again. Heroine Andrea Wheaton, after having lost her parents in a car crash, has the task of finding answers. After suspecting that someone wanted her father dead, Andrea launches her own investigation beginning with the family home in Murphy.
Deputy Bryce Caldwell, neighbor to the Wheaton family home, just happens to be Andrea’s high school sweetheart. With Andrea back in his life, Bryce fights his internal wish to right the wrongs and reestablish his relationship with Andrea. Her efforts at avoidance are a clear sign that his choice to wait for her to make the first move is a good one.
The interactions between characters were so natural and organic that I felt like I could drop into the scene and watch it all come into play. Carol’s ability to bring words to a mental picture is incredible. It seems clear to me that writing isn’t simply a hobby for her; it is a gift.
Additionally, plot advancement is well-paced. I found myself absorbed by the story, and before I knew it, I was turning off my Kindle because the story was finished!
If you are a Christian, you will appreciate Carol’s weaving of Christian themes. Without being preachy, Carol effortlessly inserts meaningful roots of faith that intertwine into the characters’ lives. The result feels organic.
As you can tell, I highly recommend Carol’s writing as a whole, and I most definitely suggest Lethal Legacy. If you’re looking for a new author and haven’t tried Carol Post’s novels, please do so. I believe you’ll be glad you did!

About Carol J. Post
From medical secretary to court reporter to property manager to owner of a special events decorating company, Carol’s resume reads as if she doesn’t know what she wants to be when she grows up. But one thing that has remained constant through the years is her love for writing. She currently pens fun and fast-paced inspirational romance and romantic suspense stories. Her books have been nominated for a RITA® award and an RT Reviewers’ Choice Best Book Award.
Carol lives in sunshiny Central Florida with her husband, who is her own real-life hero, and writes her stories under the shade of the huge oaks in her yard. Besides writing, she works alongside her music minister husband singing and playing the piano. She enjoys sailing, hiking, camping—almost anything outdoors. Her two grown daughters and grandkids live too far away for her liking, so she now pours all that nurturing into taking care of a fat and sassy black cat and a highly spoiled dachshund.
