Blackstone Legacy, Book 1

De: Elizabeth Camden

Narrado por: Pilar Witherspoon

Her gilded world holds a deeply hidden secret.

After years of tragedy, Gwen Kellerman now lives a quiet life as a botanist at an idyllic New York college. She largely ignores her status as heiress to the infamous Blackstone dynasty and hopes to keep her family's heartbreak and scandal behind her.

Patrick O'Neill survived a hardscrabble youth to become a lawyer for the downtrodden Irish immigrants in his community. He's proud of his work, even though he struggles to afford his ramshackle law office. All that changes when he accepts a case that is sure to emphasize the Blackstones' legacy of greed and corruption by resurrecting a 30-year-old mystery.

Little does Patrick suspect that the Blackstones will launch their most sympathetic family member to derail him. Gwen is tasked with getting Patrick to drop the case, but the old mystery takes a shocking twist neither of them saw coming. Now, as they navigate a burgeoning attraction and growing danger, Patrick and Gwen will be forced to decide if the risk to the life they've always held dear is worth the reward.

Super creative & interesting story!

What a great narrative & characters. Loved it all! Worth the listen!
Great historical fiction piece.

Excellent historical novel

This was not my first book by this author but I am just as impressed with her ability to immerse us into a world long past yet with remain true to human nature. The romance between Gwen & Patrick is heady but also mature, the wisdom of the second time around. Starting the 3rd book now.

Highly recommend- storyline/ narration = perfect book

The movement of the characters through the book was interesting. It was thought provoking, easy to follow along. The narrator had a superb delivery of the story.

Excellent story interesting throughout great character development

This is a good clean, interesting well thought out storyline. It kept your attention throughout the book! Highly recommend very good listen!

Very interesting story

I enjoyed hearing this historical fiction story. Not predictable. Did not realize how much prejudice there was against the Irish at that time.

Exceptional Story!

Loved it from page one! I Hated to see it end. The characters are exciting and riveting.

Never a dull moment!

I think this might be my new favorite Elizabeth Camden book! So Good! The story and characters are so engrossing and there is never a dull moment where the story lags. It made an afternoon of decluttering a closet actually enjoyable, and it was hard to pause the story when it was time to move on to other things. 5 stars for the story and narration.

great story of historical fiction

enjoyed the story line. good writing. good attention to details of that era, lifestyle, and facts.
narrator did good job keeping characters straight, moving fwd well, but I personally didn't care for her inflections.

Has the Flavor of reality

Excellent characters with a nod towards realistic time period representation- and it’s clean! Do much to like, though it was a bit slow in the middle.

Amazing narrator.
