Story
For more than 300 years, Bluff House has sat above Whiskey Beach, guarding its shore - and its secrets. But to Eli Landon, it’s home.… A Boston lawyer, Eli has weathered an intense year of public scrutiny and police investigations after being accused of - but never arrested for - the murder of his soon-to-be-ex wife. He finds sanctuary at Bluff House, even though his beloved grandmother is in Boston recuperating from a nasty fall. Abra Walsh is always there, though.

Story
From the outside, the house in Lakeview Terrace looks perfect, and the Bigelows seem like the perfect family: the respected surgeon father, the glamorous, devoted mother and two beautiful children. A perfect family, in a perfect house, living their perfect lives. But perfect surfaces can hide dark undercurrents, and behind closed doors lies a very different story. Teenager Zane and his younger sister, Britt, are terrorised by their violent father and dysfunctional mother.

Story
Photographer Jo Ellen Hathaway thought she'd escaped the house called Sanctuary long ago. She'd spent her loneliest years there, after the sudden, unexplained disappearance of her mother. Yet the sprawling inn on an island off the Georgia coast continues to haunt her dreams. And now, even more haunting are the pictures someone is sending her: strange close-ups and candids, culminating in the most shocking portrait of all - a photo of her mother - naked, beautiful, and dead.

It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at the video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived. The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever.

The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed - and more than half of the world’s population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos.

Story
From USA Today best-selling author Nancy Warren comes a series of heartwarming contemporary romances about a family named Chance. Save when you buy the full set!
Summary
A powerful new stand-alone novel from global best seller Nora Roberts—a story of a mother, a daughter and a traumatic past reawakened.
The first time Adrian met her father was the day he tried to kill her....
Adrian Rizzo didn't have the easiest childhood, to put it mildly, but she's worked hard to put it behind her, and to the outside world she is a beautiful young woman with a successful, high-profile career and a wonderful family and friends.
When, out of the blue, she receives a death threat in the post, she is shocked but puts it down to someone's jealousy of her success and tries to forget about it. But Adrian doesn't realise that it's more than just spite. Someone is very, very angry about her happy life and will stop at nothing to bring it all crashing down.
Critic reviews

"Nora Roberts is, quite simply, a one-woman phenomenon." (Heat)
"I love Nora Roberts." (Stephen King)

Fantastic Narration
I absolutely loved this audiobook. The narrator, January LaVoy, did a fantastic job putting voices to the various characters. The flow of her narration was excellent. One of my pet hates when listening to audible is when they switch between the male/female voices and it just jars for lack of a better word. There were no such issues here. I especially liked how January changed the voice for the teenage Adrian as she grew to adulthood. The story itself, well it’s Nora Roberts – an author I always feel I can rely on. If I’m being 100% honest I do prefer her books where there is a more mystical element but that is down to personal taste and in no way affected my enjoyment of Legacy. I have to finish by saying that in future if I’m in two minds over whether or not to buy an audiobook the name of January LaVoy as the narrator will be the deciding factor for me.

Enjoyable
Nora Robert's books now tend to be as much about people finding their tribe or their chosen family as much as about romance or suspense. This was an enjoyable addition to her collection. The romance was a bit of a slow burn. While the villain was predictable, there was a nice build up of tension leading to the climax at the end. well narrated

Great read.
more a saga than a story as it covered from childhood to adulthood- interest kept the entire way. Ms Roberts flips POV a lot in this book and yet it doesn't jar or take one out of the moment- quite the opposite - I felt more invested knowing the thoughts of so many characters. Strong leads, strong secondaries (a sublime talent of the author) and Ms LaVoy is an excellent narrator- brought such depths to each voice- a really enjoyable listen. Thank you.

Way too long …..
Overall story not bad …. a bit saccharine in places …. But worst part for me is that it could’ve ended at least 4-5 hours before. You knew exactly what was going to happen just waiting for the when. I really don’t know why the author strung it out for 12+ hours … I was just waiting for it to end. I could’ve just stopped reading it … but continued as I felt I’d already invested the time reading the first 2/3rds :(

Same old
There was really nothing interesting about this story at all, just the same old privileged, rich girl meets boy and lives happily ever after. Although this is basically the synopsis for every Nora Roberts novel, at least usually she changes the context to make it interesting. This was just so boring.

Really Enjoyable
As an audiobook this was a really fun listen. January LaVoy was superb as the narrator. Every voice, every nuance - perfection. I enjoyed the story of family and friendship and love. Plus the children and dogs. Oh yes. The murderer was creepy and it slowly built up. I was so happy to have so much prelude to it so it didn't totally dominate this. The humour in the story was fantastic and January did it just right.

Fantastic suspense story.
One of the Best NR novels I have read to date and I have read many.
A well turned and nailbiting story of life in a small town with a few trips to the City.
Brilliant protagonists. A chilling murderer and a good conclusion to the story.
Loved the entire book.

Legacy-Nora Roberts
First book that I’ve had the pleasure of listening to by the author. It was suspenseful, humanist, with a story thread running throughout, which left me hanging on until the last chapter.
