The Inheritance

 

The Inheritance by Samantha Hayes- psychological thriller

A family have got together at the Scottish holiday home a while after the father of the family, Ray, sadly died. The mother Connie is holding a secret about his will and wants everyone to settle in before she breaks the news that she knows won’t go down well. Amongst the family members themselves there are secrets- a potential affair, a pregnancy and one almost homeless. Perhaps they are hoping that their inheritance will set them right however Connie has more to tell than just about the will.

This is one of those reads that grabs you and keeps you turning. Each chapter is headed by a main character to give their point of view so an overall picture is built on.  A twisty knotty read where characters may have more than one facet and the actions of one may more than affect another or more. Of secrets and lies, of the ups and downs of family life. If you like a book full of family drama, red herrings and one to keep you guessing then this might just be the read for you. A gamut of emotions with short snappy chapters. One to read and not put down. And wow! Those twists…..

But the truth can’t stay buried forever… In the wake of my darling husband’s death, I am so lucky to have my three beautiful, grown-up daughters by my side at our holiday home in Scotland. We need some time together, to recover from the shock.

But this time I’m not here to hide more of my lies. I’m here to expose one. I promise everything I’ve ever done has been to protect my daughters. I just hope they understand that too… By the end of the trip, nothing will ever be the same again.
