The Heiress

The Heiress (Ukrainian title: «Спадкоємиця») by Rachel Hawkins is a family-secret thriller. It seemed that, in dying, little Ruby — “Mrs Murder”, Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodward Miller Kenmore — had taken all her secrets to the grave. No one would ever learn what really happened to her four husbands, who died in strange circumstances, or how her father found her as a child eight months after she vanished in the woods. Or why she adopted a boy, Camden, and left him the Ashby House estate and all her accounts.

Ten years after her death, Cam still wants nothing to do with the McTavishes, their house or their money. But the tangle of puzzles she left behind must be unravelled, and the answers turn out to be not only astonishing but deadly. Twisty, dark and addictive.
