Chapelwood: The Borden Dispatches by Cherie Priest

3.0

Chapelwood is the sequel to Maplecroft, a very different take on what really happened in Fall River, MA with Lizzie Borden. Chapelwood picks up Lizzie's story thirty years after the events of Maplecroft. Lizzie is older and just as feisty. Strange events are happening in Birmingham, Alabama that catch Lizzie's interest. What is happening at Chapelwood has far-reaching consequences. James Patrick Cronin and Julie McKay narrate. I did not enjoy Chapelwood as much as Maplecroft. The reason has to do with the narration. It was not the voices themselves. It seemed Ruth's voice was louder than any other and it pulled me from the story to turn the volume down. If you enjoyed Maplecroft, give Chapelcroft a try. You may enjoy it more than I did.
