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.
What the critics say
“Deliciously dark with chilling characters and a brilliant setting. This is a pacy, page-turning thriller.”—Sarah Pearse, New York Times bestselling author of The Sanatorium
“Masterful, gripping and unpredictable—this murder mystery will have you on the edge of your seat.”—Sophie Hannah, New York Times bestselling author of The Monogram Murders
“And there we have it, every single thing I love in a novel. The Inheritance boasts the ultimate trifecta: a wealthy family, a luxurious remote location. . . and a body. Everyone in this family has a motive for murder in this propulsive novel about a family succession announcement gone awry. With this novel, Sakhlecha earns her place on the shelf among the heavy hitting thriller writers.”—Sally Hepworth, New York Times bestselling author of The Mother-in-Law
