A Deadly Inheritance

£9.99

Detective Caius Beauchamp is dispatched to a double murder in a South London townhouse. It looks like a simple botched burglary, until Caius gets a tip-off about the well-heeled family’s nefarious past. Which is worse: the body on the floor or the skeletons in the closet? Caius’ own family circumstances have changed recently: some complicated inheritance tetris means he is now in line to inherit a country estate. He’s still getting used to his new life in the upper echelons of society. And when he realises that he recognises the victims from a recent luxury train ride, it all starts feeling a little too close for comfort.

Description

‘One of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction.’ ERIN KELLY
** Available for pre-order now **

Two murders.
Rosie wakes up at 3am already feeling the twinges of a brutal hangover – an afternoon spent day drinking with her uni pals has left her rather the worse for wear. She creeps downstairs for a glass of water – only to stumble onto a shocking, bloody scene in the kitchen.

One will.
It looks like a botched burglary has left both Rosie’s grandmother and her attacker dead. But then Detective Inspector Caius Beauchamp gets a tip about the matriarch’s last will. It turns out, this well-heeled family has a nefarious past.

A family full of secrets.
With his reputation on the line and powerful people pressuring him to close the case, Caius must decide what’s more dangerous: the body on the floor or the skeletons in the closet?

‘A fresh, bitingly witty take on the whodunnit.’ RED, ON THE OTHER HALF
‘A total joy to read.’ HARRIET TYCE, ON THE IN CROWD

????&#11088 I absolutely love Charlotte Vassell’s writing style, it completely meshes with what I want in a book, quirky, entertaining, a bit gossipy (quite a bit gossipy if I’m being honest) and some characters that you really root for.
