Having read the first Tori Winters book, I knew I had to have this one, and I was not disappointed. This author has a real knack for writing mysteries in such a way that the reader truly doesn’t know who the bad guy is until the end.
In this book, Tori is knee-deep in renovations, turning the historic mansion she inherited from a grandmother she never knew, into The Red Door Inn bed and breakfast in the small town of Granbury, Texas.
Things take a twist when a tunnel caves in. Then the plot thickens when the reason for the cave-in is discovered. A hole in the tunnel wall holds the skeletal remains of someone and, from the looks of it, has been there for a very long time. A little backstory. Tori’s great-grandfather, Frankie Leichter, was a crime boss and used the house for his illegal activity. So it makes sense that Frankie might have killed the man and buried him in the tunnel.
It’s a fun journey to ride along with Tori as she unravels this mystery. The fallout from the discovery threatens the very existence of the Red Door Inn, as well as Tori’s life.
I’d be remiss not to mention the secondary characters in this story. Since Tori had never been to this small Texas town, she arrived knowing no one. But she’s established some deep-abiding friendships that made me want to jump into the pages of the story and interact with these people. First of all, her team, Mia, Cammie, Heidi, and Tina (whom we met in book one), are now fully incorporated into the operation of the Red Door Inn. These four girls really added depth to the story. Then, the construction foremen, Colt and Ben, brought another layer of goodness. There’s a budding romance with David that I enjoyed. But Parker, the private investigator, is the icing on the cake. He would give his life for Tori. They are all dedicated to helping Tori not only unravel this mystery but also to convert the mansion into a B&B.
There is so much going on in this book. It’s a page-turner, for sure. If you love a well-written mystery that will keep you guessing until the end, this is the book for you. I can highly recommend it!

I love Jan’s review, motivational and inspiring. Thank you very much. It tells me I am doing something right. It’s been fun creating the characters. They represent many people I have encountered throughout my life. I so appreciate all the comments.

That was almost the best part of the story, Kristine. I just loved those four girls and their dedication to Tori. A great read!
You are the best. Your blog tours are amazing.

Hi Jan, this sounds like an exciting read. Wishing Anita the best with her blog tour.
So glad it grabbed your interest, Robbie. I appreciate you stopping by to support this author!
Thank you for your comment. I loved writing the book. Writing lets me indulge in personal fantasies. Not only the characters but the house and all its secrets.
Thanks for hosting Anita today, Jan. I’ll definitely add this one to my reading list. It sounds great! Wishing her all the best.
Great to hear, Jill. I know you will enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by to support Anita!
I’d love to hear from you with any comments about the book. I do listen. In the last book, I had a review in which the reader wasn’t happy about the coffee. Sweet tea was the preferred drink in Texas. I listened, and you will find what happened in Murder’s Legacy.
I recently read the first of the series and couldn’t wait to read this one. It’s next on my TBR list. Congrats to Anita. (I can relate to characters who surprise me.) Thanks for hosting, Jan. Great review!
The same for me, Joan. After I read the first book, I knew I had to grab this one and it did not disappoint. I just love the secondary characters. I want to be their friend. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by to support Anita and I look forward to your thoughts after you read it.
Jan mentioned Parker, the investigator, the icing on the cake. In Deadly Keepsakes, Parker didn’t appear until near the end. But readers liked the character. So, in Murder’s Legacy, Parker takes on a new role with unusual consequences.
All the best to Anita.
Thank you, Craig!
Thank you so very much. I appreciate your taking the time and interest to check out Jan’s post.
