Summary: Brilliant story, hate the heroine
Review: The first Elizabeth Adler book i read was The Rich Shall Inherit. And I've been hooked on her eversince. I have read all her books. I must say i prefer her thicker saga type rather than teh later short,modern ones. anyway, Legacy of Secret is a brilliant read.But i just can't stand Lily Molyneux.Somehow or other, she brings out my bitter side.I felt like she's an utterly spoilt, selfish cow and she deserves all teh rotten luck.Yet, she kept gettign rescued. I mean, four men were in love with her. C'mon. Even towards the end, when she was all alone, she managed to get Ciel to forgive her and let her die at home. There is no justice in this world :)But read the book anyway. the tale is fascinating.

Summary: This book is actually ' Present of the Past'
Review: This is my first book by Elizabeth Adler and I love it.It is a gripping story full of strong emotions. I wonder why it has not been spotted by any film producer to make into a movie. I'm sure your readers would enjoy it.

Summary: 'Secrets' thrilled me to the end!
Review: This is the sixth Adler book that I have read and I was thrilled to the end by the suspense and lifestyles narrated by Maudie. I guessed before hand who the killer would be but it was still a great read. I would also like to see this made into a movie. Great period scenes and costumes would make this a box office hit.

Summary: A very descriptive tale of secrets that span decades.
Review: This story holds you captive by remaining mysterious but giving you enough clues to keep you intrigued. I couldn't put it down. The main character Lily Molyneux charms you, and at the same time enrages you. She is the sole cause of all the numerous problems throughout the story. I would reccomend this book to anyone. I enjoyed it, and I'm sure that you will too.

Summary: Spellbinding Novel of Secrets That Span Generations
Review: You won't meet a more delightfully original narrator than Maudie, the eighty-something Irishwoman who weaves an enthralling tale that had me turning the pages as fast as I could.

Afraid that her wealthy father will make her marry her attacker since he comes from a "good" family, she names the lowly stableboy on the estate as the father of her child seeing that as a way to stay single. As with every decision in her life, Lily acts before she thinks and lives to regret her impulsive actions. Not only is she thrown out of her home, but the stableboy and his brother must also flee for their lives. Thus begins a multi-layered tale that takes the reader from the slums of Boston to the mansions of Beacon Hill and the magnificent skyscrapers of Wall Street. Three men will spend their lives hoping to marry Lily, each amasssing fame and fortune while dreaming of the day Lily will be his wife. A fourth man will marry her and a fifth will give his life for her sins. Two children will call her mother and their lives will be tormented by her actions. This is a riveting tale of the Irish elite in their homeland and the Irish peasants struggling in America. It is a tale of passion, revenge, and a modern day murder that must lay bare the secrets of three generations before it can be solved. Brilliantly plotted with memorable characters and unforgettable events, this is a must read for fans of family sagas.
