Fatal Inheritance
Fatal Inheritance | Rachel Rhys
6 posts | 7 read | 9 to read
'With a dash of Agatha Christie and a nod to Zelda Fitzgerald, Rachel Rhys' historical mystery is simply gorgeous. The late 1940s Cote d'Azur setting is a character in its own right - one that will have you yearning to sip a gin fizz while watching the sun sink into the Mediterranean' KATE RIORDAN 'I am racing though this delicious thriller set on the French Riviera in 1948. Rachel Rhys really is a natural successor to Patricia Highsmith. Out July, put it on preorder now so you dont forget' SARRA MANNING 'Deadly secrets, dazzling sunshine - utterly seductive. This book is a total joy' LUCY DAWSON 'Atmospheric, totally absorbing and joyfully original' JANE FALLON ******************** 1948: an English housewife trapped in a dull marriage escapes to the South of France to claim a mystery inheritance. But rivals to her unexplained fortune begin to emerge, and now they want her out of the way ... She didnt have an enemy in the world... until she inherited a fortune London 1948: Eve Forrester is trapped in a loveless marriage, in a gloomy house, in a grey suburb. Out of the blue, she received a solicitors letter. A wealthy stranger has left her a mystery inheritance but in order to find out more, she must travel to the glittering French Riviera. Eve discovers her legacy is an enchanting villa overlooking the Mediterranean sea and suddenly, life could not be more glamorous. But while she rubs shoulders with film-stars and famous writers, under the heat of the golden sun, rivals to her unexplained fortune begin to emerge. Rivals who want her out of the way. Alone in paradise, Eve must unlock the story behind her surprise bequest before events turn deadly... Reminiscent of a Golden Age mystery, Fatal Inheritance is an intoxicating story of dysfunctional families and long-hidden secrets, set against the razzle-dazzle and decadence of the French Riviera.

Eve is trapped in a loveless marriage, but sees no way of escaping. Out of the blue she receives a letter informing her of a inheritance from a wealthy stranger. In order to find out what it is, Eve must travel to the French Riviera. This was a solid historical mystery.

The scenery sounded beautiful but the actual plot didn‘t really pick up until the end. I only kept reading because a friend recommended it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

One of my favourite reads of the summer. This would make a great beach as long as you don‘t get freaked out by the fact that this is happening at the seaside. But as it‘s set on the post-war Rivera you should be ok. I figured out a bit of the resolution fairly early on, but it didn‘t mess up my enjoyment.

I‘m a tad late to #AugustIsATrip but hoping I can catch up. These are the books I have on the go at the moment, so I guess they are a #TBRStack, & they feature #Russia (I love Boris Akunin‘s Fandorin series) & #Belgium (A chunk of the action in The Swimmer takes place in Brussels)

We‘re off on holiday tomorrow, so I‘m assembling the holiday books! Him Indoors is working his way through Steph Plum and started The Templars last holiday (so did I to be fair!) and then I picked my books by pulling a stack of around a dozen, asking him which ones he‘d read too and then me picking there of his choices. Complicated...
