A Dangerous Legacy by Elizabeth Camden
is set in the early 1900s and centers around Lucy Drake, a telegraph operator. For
years now her family has been tangled up in a lawsuit against her uncle. After her
father’s death it is up to her and her brother to win this lawsuit and see
justice being made. She doesn’t want her father’s death to be in vain. It’s the
least she can do for her father.
This
lawsuit slowly begins to enrapture her life without even her knowing. It’s all
she thinks about and lives for. Her life consists of the lawsuit and only the
lawsuit. She will do anything to see her father’s name be put to rights; even
if that means being a twenty-something women with no husband and children.
This is
the second book of Elizabeth Camden’s I have read. The first one, To the
Farthest Shore, was amazing. I loved it. And this one did not disappoint
either. Just like the first book I’ve read of hers, the plot is interesting and
like nothing I’ve ever read. There’s something about the plot of her stories
that are just so fresh and excited and complex all at the same time. I also
love that she intertwines real history within the fictitious story. Being a
lover of history myself, I greatly appreciate that.
I’d
highly recommend reading this book if you never read Elizabeth Camden books.
They’ll keep you guessing to the end.
I received this book from Bethany House for review.
