Number eleven in the series featuring Alex Cooper, LETHAL LEGACY feels like her best yet.

Cooper works for the DA’s office sex crimes unit (as did Fairstein) and as this tale opens Alex is called out to a crime scene in which someone disguised as a fireman assaulted the victim. The victim, Tina Barr, works for the New York City library as a conservator, meaning that she is responsible for the conservation of books, a topic dear to my heart. As a result we have a wonderful story set in the NY Library.

As Cooper and her colleagues look into Barr’s past, they start to discover some strange things. Before long another body shows up and the pressure to get the case solved multiplies.
This was such an enjoyable read. The plot is quick and engaging, all the facts about the library were a genuine treat.
LETHAL LEGACY is must read for anyone who loves a great mystery and loves books.
