About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An utterly addictive and twisty thriller, full of dark family secrets and deadly stakes. Perfect for fans of One of Us Is Lying and Knives Out.

She came from nothing.

Avery has a plan: keep her head down, work hard for a better future. Then an eccentric billionaire dies, leaving her almost his entire fortune. And no one, least of all Avery, knows why.

They had everything.

Now she must move into the mansion she's inherited. It's filled with secrets and codes and the old man's surviving relatives - a family hell-bent on discovering why Avery got 'their' money.

Now there's only one rule: winner takes all.

Soon she is caught in a deadly game that everyone in this strange family is playing. But just how far will they go to keep their fortune?

Not really impressed, but I could see myself picking up the sequel eventually. Unless I forget all about it

I think I probably would have enjoyed this more had I found the narration a bit less grating… maybe I’m just not used to audio book narration… a classic ya mystery that could have been more but was entertaining enough that I’ll be reading the sequel! Comparison to knives out is somewhat valid, and I wasn’t expecting the ending to turn out exactly how it did at all. Overall a fun inheritance mystery novel that keeps you invested !!

I had never herd of this book but I was researching good mystery books and this is one of the ones that popped up I was a bit unsure about it at first but I decided to give it a go. The start was not the best but as I got into I started to really enjoy overall I really like the characters and the plot was very interesting, the only thing I would say was that the end was a bit disappointing, but I overalled really liked it

Amazing
