Description

One of them will get what they deserve . . . Gossip Girl meets Knives Out, the twisty new domestic suspense novel from Rebecca Reid, perfect for fans of Claire Douglas and Liane Moriarty 'If you're a fan of the TV series Succession, you'll love this gripping story.' Closer The Mordaunts aren't like most families . . . For one, their family home is Roxborough Hall - a magnificent, centuries-old mansion in the Norfolk countryside. For another, the house isn't passed down from parent to child - but rather to the family member deemed most worthy. Cecily Mordaunt is dead. On the evening of her funeral, her family will gather for dinner and each will be given a letter, revealing who is the next custodian of Roxborough Hall. The house is a burden, a millstone, a full-time job . . . but they all want it. And some are willing do anything to get it. One family. Eight letters. Who will get what they deserve _________________________________ Everyone is talking about The Will! 'I loved this twisty, stylish study of contemporary posh types.' Daily Mail 'There are plenty of twists in this entertaining thriller and the tension builds brilliantly.' Good Housekeeping 'It's been dubbed Knives Out meets Gossip Girl, and that's a fair summation of this nifty little read.' Belfast Telegraph 'Rebecca Reid's addictive novel is brimming with scandal, black humour and palpable suspense.' Woman's Own 'If you were on the edge of your seat with crime novels from Adele Parks and Lisa Jewell, you'll need to add this book to your collection.' Chat Magazine 'An addictive novel full of suspense.' Bella Magazine 'The Will is that rare kind of book that draws you so deeply into its world, that you start believing the characters are your real life acquaintances, and wondering what they're up to. Perhaps that's why I raced through to find out. Rebecca's protagonists are complex, deliciously flawed, and utterly addictive.' Jemma Wayne
