The Light Keeper's Legacy

Chloe Ellefson Mystery Series, Book 3

By: Kathleen Ernst

Narrated by: Elise Arsenault

Solitude at last!

Museum curator Chloe Ellefson jumps at the chance to spend time on Wisconsin's Rock Island, a state park with no electricity or roads. Hired as a consultant for a project to restore the island's historic 1857 lighthouse, her research turns up fascinating tough-as-nails women from the past.

Chloe's tranquility is spoiled when a dead woman washes ashore. Is it an accidental drowning? Or has tension over tighter fishing regulations reached a dangerous boiling point? When a second body is found, Chloe finds herself trapped on remote Rock Island with a killer.

Critic reviews

"Deftly flipping back and forth in time in alternating chapters, the author builds up two mystery cases and cleverly weaves them back together." ( Library Journal)

the light keeper's legacy

Nicely woven tail from current and historical perspective. Enjoyed it very much. only wish the rest of the series have been recorded.

Easy listening and so-so story

Listened to this for a book club. Was looking forward to it because having visited Door County many times, I appreciate local authors writing about local places. The narrator was pleasant enough but her voice seemed a little too cheerful and upbeat for the story. She also mispronounced many words of ethnic origin (I noticed the Norwegian ones the most). All in all it was so-so but an enjoyable listen.
