Would you marry someone whose four husbands have all conveniently died, even if she were worth millions? Rachel Hawkins writes a complicated story of murder, romance, and the fight for control of Ruby McTavish’s mansion, land, and money – lots of money.
Although Ruby is the drive behind the story, she died 10 years before the tale begins, leaving her estate to her adopted son Camden (Cam). As Cam and his wife Jules return to claim the inheritance, his cousins are plotting how to steal it away.
But noone is who they seem and Ruby’s revelations through her letters with cliff hanging sign offs keep confusing the plot. The family drama builds as more and more about the McTavish family and the terrible secrets they have hidden for years threaten to change who will finally inherit.
Fun to read, Hawkins twisted plot has a Gothic undertone with lots of red herrings and a satisfying ending.
