Legacy of Lies

By: Brett Vogeler

Narrated by: William Good

Her family’s deadliest secret is about to become her most dangerous truth. When family historian Lyra Kincaid uncovers her ancestor Elara’s cryptic 19th-century journal, it connects her lineage to Oakhaven's infamous Whispering Bluffs train robbery—a bloody, unsolved crime. Elara’s words hint at a terrifying secret, a "debt" still casting a lethal shadow. Lyra’s quest for truth immediately provokes powerful forces; a break-in and chilling threats prove some secrets are meant to stay buried.

With an ally, journalist Finn Holloway, Lyra unearths a hidden ledger, its entries implicating her own Kincaid ancestors alongside Oakhaven’s elite. Elara’s journal also reveals "The Overseer," a brutal enforcer whose vengeful descendants, led by the ruthless Silas Rook, now hunt for the ledger, believing it key to their "stolen honor" and immense power. They will kill to possess it.

As Lyra deciphers Elara’s clues, she learns her ancestor was a hero, murdered by The Overseer for trying to expose the entire conspiracy. The final trail leads to treacherous smuggler's tunnels, where Elara hid irrefutable proof. Deep underground, Lyra confronts Rook, leading to a catastrophic showdown where the truth of generations of deceit is finally laid bare.

Lyra emerges with the evidence, forcing a reckoning upon a town built on lies. She must now confront her family's dark inheritance and forge a new legacy from the ashes. Legacy of Lies is a relentless thriller where unearthing a historic crime unleashes a deadly chain of events, proving the past never stays dead and its secrets can kill.

Great Narration!

You can't go wrong with Brett Vogeler, and 'Legacy' is no exception. Bonus is the excellent narration.Thank you Brett Vogeler

Legacy of Lies is a perfect title.

The story was unique and very different than I expected as I listened through the beginning chapters. The story that was believed from the past was so different than the truth unveiled. Attitudes and thought processes of the characters were richly described and easily relatable. Clues, letters, maps, ledgers and histories of the families were intriguing. Second guessing was pointless. The story had a path that was mysterious and surprising even up to the very end. Enjoyable experience for me.
