‘This will have you on the edge of your seat.’ Sophie Hannah
'Original, compelling, truly absorbing and utterly unputdownable.' Andrea Mara
‘A propulsive mystery and a layered portrait of familial love and dysfunction, The Inheritance is a story of privilege and buried secrets that's impossible to put down.' Tracy Sierra

______________

On a private island off the west coast of Scotland, the Agarwals gather for a much-awaited family reunion…

Raj, the patriarch and business tycoon, who has six weeks to decide how to split his petrochemicals empire between his three children.

Shalini, the fragile mother, who longs to see her family healed.

Myra, the eldest daughter and golden child, who, unbeknownst to the family, is on the brink of bankruptcy.

Aseem, the son and supposed heir, who must choose between his wife and his family.

Aisha, the fun-loving youngest daughter, who is tired of being treated like a child.

And Zoe, the outsider whose #Instaperfect life is built on a foundation of lies.

They’ve all got secrets that they would die to protect.

But only one of them is capable of murder.

Most family reunions end in tears. This one will end in murder.

‘This will have you on the edge of your seat.’ Sophie Hannah

Tremendous…
A private and remote island off the Scottish coast, a family reunion and the ludicrously wealthy Agarwal family. They have gathered to celebrate the anniversary of the patriarch and matriarch - but also (and primarily for some) to discover just how the long awaited three hundred million inheritance will be divided between the three siblings. A gripping and suspenseful tale of greed, familial dynamics, toxicity and past secrets that will have the reader holding their breath on every single page. A continuous thread of menace runs through the narrative which is drenched in atmosphere with short, snappy chapters from multiple points of view and a propulsive plot populated with perfectly formed and credible, though wholly unlikeable, characters - leading to an explosive and, perhaps, unexpected denouement. Tremendous.
