The Wyndham Legacy: Legacy, Book 1

By: Catherine Coulter

Narrated by: Maggie McClellan

At the age of nine, Josephina Cochrane is mockingly dubbed the "Duchess" by her half-cousin, Marcus Wyndham. Little does Marcus suspect that the Duchess will one day reign sovereign over his own future. For the Earl of Chase, the Duchess's father and Marcus' uncle, leaves a double-edged inheritance, a legacy that will bind their fates.

When the Earl of Chase dies without a son, Marcus stands to inherit his fortune and title. But the old earl, bitter that Marcus escaped the tragedy that claimed the lives of his two sons, has laced his legacy with vengeful stipulations.

But there is another Wyndham legacy, one beyond the Earl of Chase's rank and holdings - a treasure from long ago that's shrouded in legend. Before the rival legacies can be settled, the Duchess and Marcus must solve two mysteries - one from the past and one that shadows the present.

Critic reviews

"Unexpected plot twists, witty dialogue and an engaging cast of secondary characters contribute to the charm of [this] Regency romance." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A terrific addition is the voice of Maggie McClellan. Clarity, even pacing, consistent vocal quality, and successful accents, American and British, make The Wyndham Legacy a great listening adventure." ( AudioFile)

Excellent

Loved story. Loved all the characters and Maggie McClellan was superb. Could listen to her narration for hours

Enjoyed it!

This was another great Catherine Coulter book. It certainly held my interest. I couldn't put it down. Now I'm about to check out the next book in the series.

Lovely, entertaining and a good read

This was a lovely tale of an independant woman, with a free spirit and loving heart. It is entertaining, has an excellent commentary on the times via verse. I really enjoyed it, the leading man was frustratingly loveable and the supporting characters entertaining and diverting. Well written and spoken.

Very difficult to get through....

The narration didn’t fit the story. The story took place in Regency England. However the narrator slipped in and out of varying accents all poorly done and mostly inappropriate (southern?). All in all it was very disappointing.

Good book

It is a good book although very light on history and the villain cousin is too obvious but still worth a read
