About this listen

“Insanely readable with a brilliant setting and characters that jump off the page. I absolutely loved The Inheritance!”—Lisa Jewell

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

Meet the Agarwals, who have gathered on a private, luxury island off the west coast of Scotland for a much-anticipated family reunion.

Raj, the patriarch and a business tycoon, is about to announce to his wife and three children the succession plan for his multimillon-dollar Delhi-based company. Shalini, the fragile matriarch, is ready to have her husband to herself after years of sacrifice to the family business. Myra, the golden child, owner of the island and host of the reunion, is, unbeknownst to her family, on the brink of bankruptcy. Aseem, the son and supposed heir, is torn between his love for his wife and his duty to family. Aisha, the youngest, a party girl whose antics are legendary, can’t pass up an opportunity to wreak havoc. And then there’s Zoe, Aseem’s wife, the outsider whose #InstaPerfect life is built on a foundation of lies.

They’ve all got secrets they would die to protect. Who will survive this high-stakes reunion, and who will become a victim of their own greed? One thing is certain: this family gathering will shatter more than just their illusions of unity.

Critic reviews

“A peek behind the velvet curtain of extreme wealth and privilege, Sakhlecha’s glamorous thriller portrays a dysfunctional family doing despicable things in the name of love.”
The Washington Post

“What do you get when you pair a wealthy Delhi business owner on the verge of retirement, his three troubled kids, and a remote island? A high-stakes game of greed, of course! . . . Like Succession meets Knives Out, or in other words, an absolute page-turner.”
Marie Claire

“Agatha Christie meets Succession . . . dark secrets turn [a family’s] reunion into a high-stakes game of survival.”
—Entertainment Weekly

Stayed up late to finish!

The author creates a tapestry of intertwined lives. None of these characters are particularly likable, but I couldn't wait for the next lie to be exposed.
No filler, all story.

Interesting and yet …

I loved parts of this book and found parts a bit off. So — kinda recommend. Maybe would be a better paper read — to follow the story lines. Ending was a bit underwhelming.

exceeded my expectations

I loved everything about this. I was instantly hooked and the whole book was exciting. not one single dull moment. incredibly juicy drama and scandal. every prediction I tried to make thrown out the window. I also thought the Dear Reader at the end was a nice way to wrap this up!
