Tattered Legacy by Shannon Baker

Welcome to Thoughts in Progress and the early days of March. Hopefully spring is just around the corner and the weather will be warming up soon.

I’m delighted today to share my thoughts on an intriguing mystery, TATTERED LEGACY by Shannon Baker, which is being released March 8. This is the third installment in Shannon’s Nora Abbott Mystery series, but can be read on its own.
Shannon will be joining us on Friday (March 6) to talk about her book, series and writing.

Here’s a brief description of TATTERED LEGACY and then my thoughts:

        Nora Abbott risks her career at Loving Earth Trust on a film project to convince Congress to expand the Canyonlands National Park. But someone is desperate to keep the secrets of the land hidden. When her best friend and director of the film is found dead, Nora is convinced it wasn’t an accident. Nora’s Hopi kachina messenger has vanished and now it looks as though Cole Huntsman, the man she’s finally allowed herself to love, has left her, too.
        As Nora uncovers an unlikely intersection of ancient Hopi legends, a secret polygamist sect, and one of the world’s richest men, she is drawn deeper into danger. Her mother’s surprising past holds the key to the clash of cultures, but will Nora put all the pieces together in time to prevent disaster? Set in the iconic red rocks of Moab, Utah, Nora races to discover what really lies beyond the stars.

The intriguing Utah setting of author Shannon Baker’s latest release, TATTERED LEGACY, drew me in quickly. The author’s style of writing, along with a captivate tale kept me hooked until the very end.

This is a fast-pace mystery with a good mixture of action and dialogue to make the story hard to put down. The author’s eye for detail and vivid descriptions enhances the setting. The characters are likable, realistic and well-developed. The twists and turns along the way make for a tantalizing tale blended with the Hopi legends for spine-tingling excitement. 

TATTERED LEGACY is the third installment in the Nora Abbott Mystery series, but can be read on its own. This mesmerizing story will hold you spellbound as secrets are revealed and lives hang in the balance.
