Publisher's summary

I thought he took my secret to the grave. 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 I also need to set some things straight about their beloved father....

I’ve always known this house was the perfect place to bury secrets–remote, isolated, surrounded by nothing but miles of dense forest.

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. I knew revealing the truth about the inheritance would have consequences, but I could never have imagined we wouldn’t all survive it.

And now that the truth is out, am I in danger too?

A totally gripping psychological thriller from an Amazon best seller that will have your head spinning and your jaw on the floor with every twist. Fans of The Housemaid, Gone Girl, and The Family Upstairs won’t be able to hit pause.

Ending

The story was good until the end. The ending seemed to be less thought out than the rest of the story, not believable to me.
Up to the ending, nice storyline, good characters and the reading was excellent. Gotta love a nice British accent.

WHAT A COLOSSAL COP OUT

What a total waste of direction just to pull up short and change it completely… story was GREAT then… I spite of all the ‘clues’ the Author comes up with a cock ‘n bill 180 turn and RUINED what was looking like a great triple great story line!!!
Could have been a full five stars
Switch and bait is ridiculous when you have a great story

It needs a sequel

Good story but so many things left up in the air which leaves readers unsatisfied. Should have a book 2 to complete storylines

Every now and then, it’s just not the right time…

Narrator Tamsin Kennard is my audiction and the reason I chose this. I started “The Inheritance” more than a few times and now I know why. Moving along at a slow pace, I was at the corner of Confusion and Disappointment. Through several fast-forwards, I managed to finish it.

Narration + story = A+

Clever story made particularly engaging by stellar narration. Wish more books were read like this!

Boring

How this book got into the thriller/suspenseful category is beyond me. It’s a family drama and not a compelling one. I stopped listening with about five hours left, because I just could not care anymore. Don’t waste your credit.
