About this listen

From million-copy bestselling author Imogen Clark comes a story of three siblings and a suitcase full of cash. Will the unexpected windfall tear them apart?

When their father dies unexpectedly, siblings Max, Ellie and Nathan can’t even contemplate emptying his house—not least because he spent his last decade curating what feels like a museum to his polished public image. So it is Max’s wife, Caroline, who finds the suitcase under a bed… A suitcase stuffed full of an awful lot of cash.

The source of the money is a mystery to them all, and each has a strong opinion about what to do with it. Ellie and her husband James have an expensive lifestyle to maintain and could do with their share of the windfall—James in particular, for reasons he doesn’t dare reveal. Nathan can’t be trusted with money, as the others all know; he’s desperate to get his hands on some (or all) of the cash. But Caroline is the one guarding the suitcase, and she’s insisting to Max that they take it to the police.

The three siblings have always been close. But now, with this money from nowhere threatening to rewrite what they thought they knew about their father and their family, nothing seems certain. Could it really tear them apart?

Critic reviews

“A cleverly crafted and impressively original story by gifted novelist Imogen Clark and superbly…brought to life by the storytelling talents of Bronwen Price.”—Midwest Book Review

“Brimful of emotion—a wonderful plot and characters that you are rooting for, even when you know you shouldn’t. An Unwanted Inheritance is that gem of a thing: a story to truly lose yourself in. I LOVED IT!”–Faith Hogan, bestselling author of The Ladies’ Midnight Swimming Club

“What happens when you drop a bag of cash right in the middle of three siblings and their families? A whole lot of good fun and drama. An Unwanted Inheritance delightfully explores the flaws that come with being human as Clark plunges us into a story about what is right and wrong and what it means to be a family. She ratchets up the tension as the story races to its surprising and oh-so-satisfying conclusion.”—Boo Walker, bestselling author of The Singing Trees

Fairly mundane storyline. Very far fetched! Narrators voice not really to my taste either. I persevered with it rather than enjoyed it.

Story was all a bit of a palava over the money all the soul searching, characters were all a quite bland & Caroline very annoying at times and narration slightly irritating .. Got to the end but was tempted to give up a few times..

This was a bit if a struggle to get to the end..

Nice enough story, no great surprises. Some of the voices used for the characters were a bit comical but overall an easy listen

Nice enough story
