Critic reviews

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.

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.

Compelling and taut, if you adored Succession, you’ll love this!

Sakhlecha’s glamorous thriller portrays a dysfunctional family doing despicable things in the name of love

Succession meets Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None in this unputdownable, unpredictable thriller.

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.

[An] ambitious family saga with twists galore . . . Well-paced and character-led this is a breeze of a read.

An elegant portrait of family dysfunction and a pacy, page-turning whodunnit, The Inheritance keeps you hooked until the very end.

Twisty

A propulsive thriller… a slow-burning, multilayered and brooding story.

Most relevant

The characters in the story are all just awful and every aspect of their lives and their morals are despicable. There are some unintended laugh out loud moments because of the way it is written, sensitive square chins and some teenage type descriptions of a characters sex life. Horrible rich people are very fashionable in crime atm and this fulfils the brief well. I enjoyed the narration, which was very good. The ending will annoy some, difficult to describe without spoilers, but you can imagine a different kind of justice will occur.
