Publisher's summary

Number one New York Times best-selling author Nora Roberts presents Legacy, a new novel of a mother and a daughter, of ambition and romance, and of a traumatic past reawakened by a terrifying threat....

Adrian Rizzo was seven when she met her father for the first time. That was the day he nearly killed her - before her mother, Lina, stepped in.

Soon after, Adrian was dropped off at her grandparents’ house in Maryland, where she spent a long summer drinking lemonade, playing with dogs, making a new best friend - and developing the stirrings of a crush on her friend’s 10-year-old brother. Lina, meanwhile, traveled the country promoting her fitness brand and turning it into a billion-dollar business. There was no point in dwelling on the past.

A decade later, Adrian has created her own line of yoga and workout videos, following in Lina’s footsteps but intent on maintaining creative control. And she’s just as cool-headed and ambitious as her mother. They aren’t close, but they’re cordial - as long as neither crosses the other.

But while Lina dismisses the death threats that Adrian starts getting as a routine part of her daughter’s growing celebrity, Adrian can’t help but find the vicious rhymes unsettling. Year after year, they keep arriving - the postmarks changing, but the menacing tone the same. They continue after she returns to Maryland and becomes reacquainted with Raylan, her childhood crush, all grown up and as gorgeously green-eyed as ever. Sometimes it even seems like the terrifying messages are indeed routine, like nothing will come of them. Until the murders start, and the escalation begins....

good but almost too good

I agree with another user who stated the main character was just too perfect. Her personality, her looks,her wealth, her inheritance were all just perfect. She was set for life before she muttered her first cry. The writing was great and brought the characters to life. That part was sensational! Overall good, a perfect package tied with a perfect bow. The narration was phenomenal!

loved

I loved this book! It definitely ranks up there with a few of the other books of hers that I love. This is definitely worth the listen.

She did it again!

Nora can write about family like no other author I've read. Even though it was easy for me to figure out who the bad guy was in the first half I was still intrigued on how the others would find out. The way she writes about kids and dogs is a joy . I never wanted it to end. January Lavoy is a jewel in the narrator world . Her voice makes each character come to life. I could be biased because both Nora and January are my favorites and in my opinion can do no wrong.

Good Story

I always like the going home or finding home theme of Nora’s stories. Sometimes though the tone of the narrator’s voice didn’t change enough from character to character.
I would recommend Legacy as a good summer read.
I gave it this rating because it ended a little abruptly and maybe I misheard but spoiler if I did, the antagonist was sometimes referred to as a she.

Nora does it again!

Loved the novel! It had me laughing, crying, worried...just the usual run of emotions when reading a Nora Roberts story. The characters were wonderful and made me wish I could be one of their neighbors! I highly recommend you read....or listen!....to this book!
