Welcome to my stop on the book tour for Lethal Legacy by H.R. Kemp! Thanks to Zooloo’s Book Tours for the opportunity! Read on for more info and my review.
When Innocent questions have dangerous answers.
Laura’s life is plunged into turmoil when her husband, Tom, dies suddenly. On that same night, an intruder steals files from his home office. He’d been researching his previous employer’s Iraqi operations but hadn’t shared his concerns with Laura. Why would anyone want his notes?
Staying ignorant won’t protect her.
Learning Tom’s death could be murder, Laura takes matters into her own hands. She’s fifty-nine but it’s not too late to turn amateur sleuth. She uncovers a dark mystery, a deadly conspiracy involving organised crime and corruption. Powerful people will kill to silence their enemies and now she’s been warned. But who can she trust?
Staying silent won’t keep her safe.
Review
Lethal Legacy by H.R. Kemp is a clever mystery that had me hooked at the beginning and didn’t let me stop thinking about it until I finished. And now I’m still thinking about the story! Honestly, the beautiful cover is the reason I picked this book up, but I’m happy to say the story between the pages was just as wonderful!
This is a bit of a slow burn. There are points in which the story picks up the pace, but for the most part, it creeps at a slow pace with an atmosphere that keeps the reader drawn in. I liked this. It doesn’t always need to be action filled, it just needs to hold your attention and Lethal Legacy does just that.
I really like H.R. Kemp’s writing. It’s descriptive and I was able to feel like I was part of the story. I loved the characters, too. A very character driven, descriptive story. I look forward to more from this author and recommend checking it out!
Thank you to Zooloo’s Book Tours and the author for the free review copy. All opinions are my own and unbiased.

I’m an Australian author and I’ve lived in Adelaide, South Australia, for about forty years. I grew up in country areas near Melbourne.
My second novel, Lethal Legacy, is a conspiracy mystery/thriller set mostly in Australia. It’s available on pre-order until release day 8 April 2022. Deadly Secrets, my debut novel, is an Australian political conspiracy mystery thriller. It was released in 2020. My short stories have appeared in the UK anthology When Stars Will Shine; the Australian anthology Fledglings; the online Canadian Scarlet Leaf Review Magazine; and the UK Writers’ and Readers’ Magazine.
My work experience includes a public service career spanning roles as diverse as Management Trainer, Team Facilitator, Statistician, and Laboratory Assistant. These required business writing skills, so when I retired, I successfully completed a Graduate Certificate in Creative Writing at Adelaide University. I’d also completed numerous short creative writing courses at Writers SA and WEA. My first degree was a Bachelor of Science, Chemistry, and I have a Graduate Diploma in Education.
Besides writing; another of my passions is travelling and discovering new places. I’ve visited many fabulous countries and cities around the world. I keep a daily travel journal and take copious photos and many of these inspire scenes for my stories e.g. Deadly Secrets begins in Paris and has scenes set in Normandy, Nice, and Barcelona before returning to Australia where the action happens in Adelaide, Sydney, and outback SA. I’m an avid theatre-goer and subscribe to the Adelaide State Theatre company. I enjoy art exhibitions and galleries and of course, I love to read. In March each year, I take full advantage of the Adelaide Writers’ festival to discover new authors and to hear my favourites. Some of the writers I admire are Elliot Perlman, Anna Funder, John le Carré, and Peter Temple.
