I really enjoyed this novel. It had all the right twists and turns to keep me engaged. I even bought the audiobook which I highly recommend. Excellent narration. Now I feel I need to read more of this author and am going to read The Villa.

I found “The Heiress” to be a near perfect thriller, a great early read of 2024 to jumpstart the year. As someone who doesn’t consider herself to be a huge thriller fan, this one was a winner for me.

Thanks to St. Martin’s Press for the ARC!

I really enjoy Rachel Hawkin's writing and this book was a perfect example as to why. It was so well developed from the very beginning and I absolutely loved the format of it. I thought it did drag on a bit in a few parts but otherwise was very suspenseful. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This has been my favorite of Rachel Hawkins' novels so far. I really enjoyed the mixed media aspect of the novel, alternating between different narrating perspectives, Ruby's story, and newspaper articles from the past. It was a novel that was fast-paced and gripping from the start.

This was a wild ride and I loved it! This was my 6th book by Rachel Hawkins and it's safe to say that she is now on my always-read list! Can't wait for her next book!

I adore Rachel Hawkin's books that are written as Erin Sterling, but her thrillers tend to be hit or miss for me. This is the best one yet though! It kept me incredibly engaged and was a well written mystery! It reminds me quite a bit of Knives Out which will always be a selling point to me for any piece of media, and this did not disappoint! Looking forward to more of her thrillers if they keep in this direction!

Thank you to NetGalley the advanced reader copy of The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins.

The novel is more of a family drama compared to a thriller and is told from three points of view. The first is Camden (Cam), the adopted son of the richest woman in Tavistorck, North Carolina, Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodward Miller Kenmore, who inherits her fortune and estate. Jules, Cam’s wife, provides the second point of view, while letters from Ruby provide the third.

Each chapter ends in a mini cliff hanger to suck you into reading another chapter. A totally fun bingeable, read!!!!

This book was just “meh” for me. I felt like I was reading it because I had to finish it instead of reading it because I wanted to finish it. I can’t quite put my finger on what it was.

Incredibly dark twisted thriller with a good pace and just the right amount of characters! I was drawn in by all of the secrets of the McTavish family and the mystery of the Ashby House. There is twists, there is drama, everything was well thought out and left me satisfied and blown away!

I am a HUGE fan of Rachel Hawkins. Every year, I wait with anticipation for her next book to come out. And The Heiress did not disappoint.

This was a fantastic story that kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved the characters, the pacing and the story itself. I could not put it down and absolutely devoured it. LOVED it!

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

For fans of Rachel Hawkins! This might be my favorite of her novels. The premise of this book is adopted son Camden McTavish returning to the Ashby home and estate owned by his adopted mother. Cam is hesitant to return as the surviving McTavish clan does not accept him or treat him well at all. However, his wife pushes him to return. Interwoven throughout the narrative are letters written by the late Ruby McTavish, outlining her life and specifically the deaths of her 4 husbands. This was a propulsive read that I flew through. It reminded me of the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, which I thoroughly enjoyed. This book is great for fans of Hawkins as well as Taylor Jenkins Reid. If you like suspense this will not disappoint!

Ahh oh my goodness I absouletly LOVED author @ladyhawkins newest thriller 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒆𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔. This is a fast paced, extremly addictive, domestic thriller that will keep you invested and intrigued until the final page.

The execution of this whole story was brilliant and so smartly written. We have constant narration changes, past and present timelines, and some chapters are solely diary entries which allowed for extra mystery. The twists were unpredictable and I honestly had no idea how this crazy story would conclude. All the characters were unique, and most unlikeable but in the best of ways! This is by far my favorite by this author, definitely will be one of my favorite 2024 reads- also how gorgeous is the cover?!

⁂ Special thanks to @netgalley @stmartinspress for the early copy. This book is available now! Synopsis in comments!

This was a good book. I kept picking it up, I finished it and overall I enjoyed it. However, it was very confusing to follow all the family ties and I did not go into it expecting it to be as much of a drama as it is; maybe that’s on me but it caught me off guard and not always in a good way.

The Heiress took me a little bit to get into, (the first 20% to be exact.) I kept reading though because I really enjoyed the last book I read by Hawkins. Let me say, I am so glad I did! The storyline picked up and moved very quickly after that. The characters are multifaceted and twisted, and the plot is interconnected in unique and sometimes alarming ways.

When Ruby dies, her adopted son inherits her assets. Surprisingly her son wants nothing to do with her fortune, and decides to leave and start over new. Years pass, and he receives a letter with the news of his uncle passing. The last thing he wants to do is visit, but his wife thinks it would be good for him.
Dysfunctional family, multiple POV’s, dual timelines and murder, what else could you ask for?
This book was read in one sitting, that’s how much I loved it! I couldn’t wait to figure out what was going on.

The Heiress tells the story of Jules and Cam as they maneuver going back to Cams ancestral home in North Carolina to handle Ashby House. Will it be as bad as Cam remembers?

I have been on the fence about Rachel Hawkins books to date. They have all been interesting but none of them really wowed me. This one wowed me big time! I freaking loved this story. The creepy ancestral home. The overbearing, corrupt, sickly wealthy family. It was amazing. I loved how I didn’t see all the twists and turning coming and how it just kept me guessing. The writing style was great with the letter format mixed in. It was a great story telling device and worked perfectly. I didn’t realize I could love such morally grey characters but I do! All the stars!!!

I really enjoy Rachel Hawkins books! They have so much mystery. The Wife Upstairs still remains one of my favorites, but this was a really good slow burn. There wasn’t anything about this book that was too 🤯. It was a nice slow burn thriller with lots of family drama.i was hoping for something more twisty but this was still good.

I really enjoyed this mystery novel from Rachel Hawkins. I found it to be more of a mystery than a thriller but it definitely kept me engaged and reading. I really enjoyed the letters that were included in the story and I loved how it contributed to the mystery. This was a very good book!

Trust Me, the dueling timeline stories of Ruby and Jules will have you racing to the end of this book.I like to think of it as a cross of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo with the dark humor of Chicago. Ideal for breaking a reading rut, thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC!
