About this listen

Katie Price is baffled when a man claiming to be her grandfather leaves her his entire estate in the Scottish Highlands. The bulk of the estate consists of a thriving whisky distillery and a moldering castle, where the eccentric old man actually lived until his death. The will stipulates that Katie must travel to Scotland and claim her inheritance in person.

As Katie’s stay extends from weeks into months, she uncovers the secret that led to her mother’s birth, and begins to unravel a 250-year-old mystery surrounding the beautiful young wife of the last laird of Clan McBride. According to local lore, Isobel McBride vanished from the castle without a trace shortly after the Battle of Culloden, and some believe that her ghost still walks the battlements at night. A strange dream in Isobel’s tower room leads Katie to Isobel’s hiding place, where she discovers love letters from a man other than Isobel’s husband, his initials being the only clue to his identity.

As Katie begins to unearth the clues to Isobel’s fate, she embarks on a romantic journey of her own and finds a new life she never expected.

Author's note: Due to several complaints, the book has been extensively re-edited as of July 20, 2013.

Then when you find hidden love letters hidden in the stonewall of the bedroom of the lady of the castle you want to know what happened to the love birds. And when you do all this with the help of the handsome Scottish lawyer maybe pick up some love yourself? Loved the story and narrated well. Just like all other stories written by Irina Shapiro it sucks you in until you're done with it.

What did you like most about The Inheritance?

I knew I would like this book, as I have read a few of this author's novels. However I had not read this one. I like to listen on audible to relax and found this a quite relaxing story. It kept me interested and wanting to know what was coming next. We often anticipate the ending to a story but for me it is not about the end, it is about how we get there!

What did you like best about this story?

I liked " The Inheritance " partly because it was set in Scotland a place I love. I did wonder how this inheritance would turn out, but very well in the end. The story was well thought out, with well drawn likeable characters. Sorry to say goodbye to them!

Have you listened to any of Charity Spencer’s other performances? How does this one compare?

This is the first performance of Charity Spencer I have listened too. it took a chapter or 2 to get with her reading, but she did it very well I thought.

Another Good Read!

The Inheritance by Irina Shapiro is a captivating listen. I was immediately pulled into this story. I love how the author meshes 2 stories in one with a mystery at the heart of the book. The imagery is so well done, the characters are intriguing, and the narration was perfect. Charity Spencer brought the characters to life with her voice. I could easily hear who was speaking. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntary written this review. I will most definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator. Awesome ending to this standalone listen.

Wow!!! Incredible Listen
