The Legacy is the 3rd and final book in Michael Phillips' Secrets of the Shetlands series. The back of the book says: The Dramatic Conclusion to Michael Phillips's Shetland Islands Saga
Loni Ford's unexpected inheritance of substantial real estate--not to mention a title--in the Shetland Islands has caused more than a stir in the quiet fishing hamlet of Whales Reef. How is life ever to be the same with an outsider--and a woman, at that--playing such a pivotal role in the life of this conservative community? But it isn't just the locals who have deep misgivings about the current situation. Loni herself never imagined this in her wildest dreams.
What Loni is more sure of, however, is that she is falling in love--with Whales Reef, with its hardy people, with its simple, peaceful way of life, and with local chieftain David Tulloch, whose inheritance she has usurped, at least in the eyes of some.
But life in Whales Reef is not without drama. Deep rifts exist between certain lifelong residents, and when one local resident turns up dead, suspicion is cast in the direction of the island's most prominent family. How Loni and David deal with this challenge will go a long way in determining their future, and that of the quaint island community.
In my opinion, this book is actually several stories in one, and it could be confusing and hard to follow at times. We see Loni and David's relationship grow as they get to know each other better. We see more of the story of Loni’s great-grandparents, Brogan Tulloch and Emily Hanson. There are some other story lines that are weaved into the book as well, but if you are planning to read it, I don't want to give it away. It took me longer to get into the book with the switching back and forth of the story lines, but I did enjoy it once I got further into it. If you have read the other books in the series or are a fan of Michael Phillips, I would definitely recommend it!
