Bessie's Fortune by Mary Jane Holmes ~ Full Audiobook [mystery]

Bessie's Fortune by Mary Jane Holmes audiobook. Genre: mystery In Boston and quiet Allington, New England, the polished Jerrold household is built on ambition, appearances, and a carefully guarded past. When an aging patriarch on a lonely farm insists on making a final confession, old wounds reopen and whispers of a long-buried crime begin to circle through the family - along with rumors of money that vanished the same night. Across the Atlantic, another branch of this tangled history is taking shape: Daisy McPherson, dazzling and reckless, drifts from hotel to hotel and gaming table to gaming table, while her gentle husband Archie clings to honor and a promise never to gamble. Their daughter, Bessie, grows up bright, dutiful, and painfully familiar with poverty, learning to work, to wait, and to hope in the shadow of her mother's appetites. When the search for a rightful heir finally reaches Bessie's doorstep, she is pulled from the worn rooms of Stoneleigh into a world of scrutiny and temptation - and into the competing attentions of three very different men. Caught between love, duty, and the seductive power of wealth, Bessie must decide what kind of fortune she truly wants.
