(12)The Inheritance by Trisha Sakhlecha

 

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.

The Inheritance was an enjoyable thriller about a family with lots of secrets. And the best part, the book is set on a remote island in Scotland. The story is told in alternating perspectives. Mostly Myra and Zoe, but a perspective isn't identified until the end. The family dynamics of this book were also interesting. Zoe and her mother-in-law had a pretty contentious relationship. It proved to be an intregal part of the story. 

This book is for anybody who loves a great thriller set in remote locations.
