    About this audiobook

    This program features an author's note read by Nora Roberts, sharing her inspiration for The Lost Bride Trilogy and the incredible personal history behind these stories.

    Inheritance is the first in The Lost Bride Trilogy by #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts—a tale of tragedies, loves found and lost, and a family haunted for generations.

    1806: Astrid Poole sits in her bridal clothes, overwhelmed with happiness. But before her marriage can be consummated, she is murdered, and the circle of gold torn from her finger. Her last words are a promise to Collin never to leave him…

    Graphic designer Sonya MacTavish is stunned to learn that her late father had a twin he never knew about—and that her newly discovered uncle, Collin Poole, has left her almost everything he owned, including a majestic Victorian house on the Maine coast, which the will stipulates she must live in for at least three years. Her engagement recently broken, she sets off to find out why the boys were separated at birth—and why it was all kept secret until a genealogy website brought it to light.

    Trey, the young lawyer who greets her at the sprawling clifftop manor, notes Sonya’s unease—and acknowledges that yes, the place is haunted…but just a little. Sure enough, Sonya finds objects moved and music playing out of nowhere. She sees a painting by her father inexplicably hanging in her deceased uncle’s office, and a portrait of a woman named Astrid, whom the lawyer refers to as “the first lost bride.” It’s becoming clear that Sonya has inherited far more than a house. She has inherited a centuries-old curse, and a puzzle to be solved if there is any hope of breaking it…

    A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

    • 5/5
      Great book, but what a cliff hanger! It’s definitely going to be a long wait for the next one.
    • 4/5
      Sometimes the exception proves the rule, and this book is one of those cases. I always say I'm not a fan of Nora Roberts writing as herself, yet I love her writing as J.D. Robb in the In Death series, which seems a bit pithier to me. But something about the description of this book (and okay, yes, the lovely cover) sucked me in and I decided to give it a try. And I really enjoyed it. Part Gothic romance, part haunted house/paranormal novel, this is the story of the unexpected inheritance of a large manor house by a young woman who's in need of a fresh start in her life. It has a Gothic haunted house, interesting characters, friendly spirits (that I wish would take up residence in my house!) and one particularly unfriendly ghost that's made life in the house difficult for generations. The narration of the audiobook by Brittany Pressley is excellent, as her narrations always are.
      The one caveat I'd add is that this is the first book in a trilogy, and it ends on a cliffhanger - a big one. While the cliffhanger didn't bother me, it definitely bothers many readers so if that's an issue for you, just be aware.
      Thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for providing a copy for an unbiased review.

      OMW! Best yet and what a cliff hangar! This why I always wait for the full series to be published, should have waited, but it was so good!

      No! No! No! This wonderful story doesn’t end with this book! Ms. Nora Roberts I love your work, please hurry up and finish this trilogy. Brittany Presley you made this book so much more fascinating! All the characters flowed easily and their voices were distinguished to each character. Can’t wait for the next book.
