Average rating4.4
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.

Calling all thriller lovers! You might want to mark February 13th 2025 on your calendars. “Why?”, I hear you ask. Well, I'll tell you why. That's the day The Inheritance is published, and trust me folks, you don't want to miss this gem.
You'll be wanting me to tell you what it's all about, I expect. I'm not going to give you a plot synopsis, that would give too much away. What I will tell you is that the story's central characters are the Agarwal family, as dysfunctional a family as you will ever find. I give you Raj and Shalini Agarwal and their three children, Myra, Aseem, and Aisha, and Aseem's wife Zoe. All of them have secrets they'd prefer the rest of the family didn't find out. All of them are skilled liars. One of them is going to die.
The story is mostly told from the POV'S of Zoe and Myra, but sometimes we hear from Aisha.
The setting for the story is an isolated island off the coast of Scotland, which lends an eerie atmosphere to the book.
The Inheritance is a gripping, suspenseful, brutally shocking tale of secrets and lies, and murder. The revelations at the very end will leave you reeling.
What are you waiting for peeps. Preorder this today.
Thanks to Random House UK and Netgalley for the digital ARC.
