Rezensionen / Stimmen
Sakhlecha's third novel is a heady broth of secrets and lies; she expertly ratchets up the tension as anger and resentment simmering below the surface gradually come to a head and result in murder. * Guardian * With echoes of the TV dramas Succession and The White Lotus, but also of Agatha Christie and The Traitors, Trisha Sakhlecha's third novel centres on a wealthy Indian family, the Agarwals, who gather on a Scottish island to celebrate Papa and Mama's wedding anniversary... As the family crisis unfolds, Sakhlecha displays a Christie-like knack for misdirection, framing everyone on the island as at once a potential victim and a potential killer. * The Times * Compelling and taut, if you adored Succession, you'll love this! * Fabulous Magazine * Sakhlecha's glamorous thriller portrays a dysfunctional family doing despicable things in the name of love * The Washington Post * Succession meets Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None in this unputdownable, unpredictable thriller. * RED Magazine * A cracker... if you thought TV hit Succession was a shocking expose of a family's dark secrets, this'll blow your socks off as fragile bonds are torn apart on the way to murder. * Peterborough Telegraph * [An] ambitious family saga with twists galore . . . Well-paced and character-led this is a breeze of a read. * Crime Time * An elegant portrait of family dysfunction and a pacy, page-turning whodunnit, The Inheritance keeps you hooked until the very end. * iNews * Twisty * Crime Monthly Magazine * A propulsive thriller... a slow-burning, multilayered and brooding story. * Woman & Home Magazine *
