I did enjoy this book and thought the characters were well written, everyone was a suspect from the house help to the siblings to the fathers latest girlfriend, who acted like a spoil child in my onion.

Well, Gertie is one of my favorite main characters so far this year. She is seems demure and understated, but in reality she’s a feisty bulldog of a girl and I loved every second of her. Along with Gertie there was wonderfully unlikable cast of characters. They were all well developed and fun to hate. This was really an entertaining read. I can’t say exactly what hooked me in, but before I knew it I was half way through this. The mystery was deep and Grey kept you guessing through the entire story. I did feel like the reveal was almost a little anticlimactic, but it didn’t detract from the overall story too much. Overall I found this to be an enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed this book. Gertie is our protagonist and is willed a massive house by her estranged father. Enter her frightful half siblings who are outraged at her inheritance.
Gertie sets out to discover who killed her father and why. The more she unravels, the more danger she’s in.
Engaging story but the main highlight was the brilliant characterisation.

Just when I thought l’d worked everything out, another plot twist appeared. I read it in two nail-biting sittings as I didn’t want to put it down.

It was fabulous grabs you at page one and never lets go. Prepare for a rollercoaster thriller with a twist that will leave you breathless!


🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars from me!

Love love love this book! It is a great who did it mystery about a girl inherited a house and meets 4 her siblings after her father died unexpectedly. It will leave you on the edge of your seat and you won't put it down..

Can I tell you how much I loved Gertie??? I thought she was going to be one of those annoyingly plucky girl Friday types, but she ended up being a slightly bitey bulldog and I was so here for it.

This is a blast of a mystery full of some of the most annoying characters you never want to meet in real life. I was wishing for the downfall of almost everyone and I loved to read them.

There's definitely some humor here, along with a lot of feels.

I still have no idea what the title refers to, lol, but I want more from the author!

I really enjoyed this. It is like a modern Agatha Christie, with a sense of locked room mystery about it. The main character is the perfect amateur sleuth and has an intriguing back story, while the potential perpetrators all have something to hide. The author includes a delicious final twist which adds to the satisfaction of seeing what becomes of a miserable rich man’s lifetime achievement.
