Compelling, Immersive Mystery…
Who is to be the next custodian of Roxborough Hall now that Cecily Mordaunt has passed away? The dysfunctional, more than they know themselves, Mordaunt family gather. With an array of well crafted, credible characters and a perfect atmospheric sense of place the reader begins to learn about this family. Told effectively in a past and present narrative, and from differing perspectives, history unfolds to make sense of present circumstances. Whilst this old house is perhaps a millstone in many ways every single member of this family wants it. Compelling and totally immersive from the off and throughout the tale to the final denouement, this enjoyable and ultimately uplifting mystery is, perhaps, Ms Reid’s best to date.

A must read twisted book!

I love family feuds and dramas and this story is ticking all the boxes in my cards.

Extensive family, rich members, Forbidden romance, a tension that builds and builds until the end and a twisted truth.

I can’t say I got to keep parts with any of the characters, but I kind of loved them all in their separate ways.

The different POVs worked so smoothly here and made it for a great experience to keep up with everything and still remember who is who and what they are.

Usually in a will story, you would expect more rivalries and greediness. I’m not saying there aren’t any in here, but it actually surprises me how everything comes together and the fireplace incident made me think my theories weren’t so on it.

Loved every second!

Creepiest thriller of 2022.
Cecily Mordaunt is dead. On the evening of her funeral, her family will gather for dinner and each will be given a letter, revealing who is the next custodian of Roxborough Hall. The house is a burden, a millstone, a full-time job . . . but they all want it. And some are willing do anything to get it. One family. Eight letters. Who will get what they deserve?
It's a dark family drama thriller with a lot going on in the book I loved Two Wrongs by this author and instantly jumped into it and I'm happy to say that I'm not disappointed.
Thanks to NetGalley and Transworld for giving me an advance copy.
