\"\"Patron’s comment: “Mrs. Roberts outdid herself with Legacy<\/i><\/a>. She held my attention so well. I can’t say enough about this book.”<\/p>\n

About the book:
\n“Adrian Rizzo was seven when she met her father for the first time. That was the day he nearly killed her\u2015before her mother, Lina, stepped in.<\/p>\n

Soon after, Adrian was dropped off at her grandparents\u2019 house in Maryland, where she spent a long summer drinking lemonade, playing with dogs, making a new best friend\u2015and developing the stirrings of a crush on her friend\u2019s ten-year-old brother. Lina, meanwhile, traveled the country promoting her fitness brand and turning it into a billion-dollar business. There was no point in dwelling on the past.<\/p>\n

A decade later, Adrian has created her own line of yoga and workout videos, following in Lina\u2019s footsteps but intent on maintaining creative control. And she\u2019s just as cool-headed and ambitious as her mother. They aren\u2019t close, but they\u2019re cordial\u2015as long as neither crosses the other.<\/p>\n

But while Lina dismisses the death threats that Adrian starts getting as a routine part of her daughter\u2019s growing celebrity, Adrian can\u2019t help but find the vicious rhymes unsettling. Year after year, they keep arriving\u2015the postmarks changing, but the menacing tone the same. They continue after she returns to Maryland and becomes reacquainted with Raylan, her childhood crush, all grown up and as gorgeously green-eyed as ever. Sometimes it even seems like the terrifying messages are indeed routine, like nothing will come of them. Until the murders start, and the escalation begins\u2026”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
