Would highly recommend this book, it is a must read , loved it from start to finish. Have read other books by this author and they just get better and better , so many twists and turns and brilliant characters you just can’t put the books down , right to the end you are surprised, just loved this book

The inheritance was a generic thriller with no real surprises and unlikable characters. I stuck with it hoping for more and was overall disappointed.

What is it about tales of people going back to their hometowns that draws me in? I don't know, but The Inheritance certainly put a new spin on a very classic tale and I highly enjoyed being along for the ride.

Absorbing psychological thriller flipping between the perspectives of Joe and Jane a married couple forced to move in with her elderly mother which tests their relationship and stirs up past trauma. It’s a fast paced read as the lives of the couple are slowly unraveled.

This is my first time reading a book from Kevin Lynch and, although I'm used to a faster paced story, all the twists and turns kept me interested. I liked that book was written in more than one point of view since it helps a lot in fleshing out the characters and often explains the characters motivations and feelings a bit more. I'm looking forward to more from this author.
Thank you, NetGalley, for the chance to read this ARC.

This is a slow burn, it was an okay read. Joe was insufferable, and I was able to guess this ending unfortunately.

This book started out strong but then slowed down quite a bit. I usually prefer a faster paced thriller, but this one was a pretty good slow burn read. I really enjoyed the two character POV because it really helped build the tension and suspense. This book had a lot of deception and plot twists, so it kept the book interesting. I had a hard time liking the majority of the characters, especially Dan. I will definitely look for more books by this author.

4.5 stars! This was a good quick read. It had all the twists and turns that I was looking for. I didn't want to put the book down once I got started.
I would recommend this book to anyone that wants the occasional surprise!

Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this book. This is my honest and unsolicited review.

Easy read thriller. Took a little to get into it, you would think from the way it starts you would just be sucked into the book, but it was a slower start.

Didn't really have the 'wow' or page turning grab like the thrillers I typically read, however, it was still a decent story. Lies, secrets, deception, family dysfunction, etc.

Thank you NetGalley and Inkubator Books Publishing for my DRC in exchange for my honest review.

I received this book as an earc from Netgalley.

I liked this book. Jane and her husband Joe move in with Jane's mom to take care of her and see if she will need more care than just visiting often. I was not a fan of Joe even before I found out he was a cheater in the beginning. The twist wasn't really a twist for me, I pretty much figured it out pretty early on.

Overall, even though I rated it 3 stars, I still really liked the book. It was definitely a quick read!

I was only able to read a few chapters of this book before losing access to it; however it started out amazingly. I will be purchasing this because I simply want to know what happens. I apologize for not being able to give substantial feedback on this title, but truly can't wait to read it.

I was very excited to read this book based on the description and cover. As I started to read the book, I struggled with connecting with the characters. I felt like the husband wasn't too bright and he was a little naive. I also felt like the wife should have trusted her instincts a little more. She noticed some things about her husband, but quickly dismissed them. The brother was an odd character and the interactions he had with others were bizarre. I don't think I ever really understood why he was acting the way he did, other than wanting an inheritance. I just felt like the book fell flat and I didn't really ever get closure about some actions of the characters.

The Inheritance revolves around the murder of a man in his own front yard and the subsequent unfolding of his family's secrets. His children return years later to care for their mother, forever changed by the tragedy. As secrets bubble to the surface, we're left to wonder just how far people will go for money.

This book is a slow burner. The timeline of can be confusing, especially due to inconsistencies between characters Jane and Joe. The ending is predictable, which may disappoint readers looking for a shocking twist.

Despite its shortcomings, The Inheritance offers psychological suspense without being overly dark or graphic. It's recommended for readers seeking a mild thriller.

Thank you to Kevin Lynch for the copy of The Inheritance on NetGalley. I was lucky enough to scoop this up as a Read Now, and it’s out now for you to grab it too!

When we first meet Jane, she witnesses a tragedy…. The cold blood murder of her father. With no suspects and a dead end, she escapes the town and tries to stay away from this monstrosity of a home. But as her mother’s health fails, she finds herself back to the one place she never wanted to come back to.

Her and her husband Joe run her floral shop. Joe was such an interesting character…. I couldn’t tell for the first third of the book if I even liked him. He was a wild card in many ways for me, and his actions …. Well he is beating to his own drum it seemed.

Jane’s mom has been suffering since the death of her husband, and she is somewhat losing her marbles. She hears noises at night, suffers deeply from anxiety, and is taking medication to function. As Jane and Joe become her primary caretakers, her brother Dan has the freedom to continue living his life.

At some point or another, I’m not sure if I liked any of the characters 😂. They all had flaws, and you felt different emotions for each of them at various points in the book.

Dan, her brother, was just insufferable. The author did a great job at making you strongly dislike him, that’s for sure! And Joe, her husband? He was just an idiot!

Overall there were moments that kept me on the edge of my seat and some parts that seemed “too obvious.” I would have liked to see some more character depth and growth throughout the novel, while weaving in other story lines to confuse the reader

Wow! I loved this soooo much. I can’t even put into words right now how much I really liked this book and if I go into details I may spoil and I won’t. Definitely recommend for my thriller fiends

*I did get this ARC from NetGalley*

This is the story of Jane. Her mother is sick and her and her husband, Joe, move into the house with her. This is the house where Jane found her father dead in the driveway - a murder that remains unsolved. She keeps reliving the day and remembering and finding clues that she did not have before. She must figure out how to balance taking care of her alcoholic mother, her lying brother, her lying husband, and the thoughts of her dead father.

Am I crazy or did nothing really happen during this book? Like I don't think I was spooked once. I think the killer was made super obvious and I actually thought that there would be some insane twist that would prove me wrong - and I guess there kind of was, but I was still underwhelmed. I also did not like the whole cheating vibe that was happening. I get that it got the story moving, but man oh man did I not like reading it.

Even though I'm giving this one star, I do think that there were some good things about this book. I liked that we kept switching point of views. Towards the end, I wish we got a Dan point of view or a Lara point of view. I also liked that we went back in time and we saw how little Jane found the clues and all the ways her childhood affected her adult self.

The Inheritance tells the story of Jane, a woman who returns to her family home to care for her mother. Her husband Joe moves in with her to help and they attempt to split the caregiving load. Soon after moving in, Joe becomes disenchanted with his new role as caretaker and delivery driver for his wife’s business. He begins a couple of new ventures and starts behaving strangely. Jane’s brother Dan lives nearby but he begins pressuring Jane to move their mother out to a care facility almost immediately.

Jane’s father was killed in the driveway when she was a teenager and the case was never solved. It happened in the middle of the night under mysterious circumstances and Jane has never been able to find satisfactory answers. Strange occurrences keep happening, Dan refuses to answer questions regarding that night, and her mother keeps hearing people or noises in the trees outside their house.

It took me a while to really get invested in the story. The book was more of a slow burn and I would call it more of a mystery than a thriller. The characters were mostly unlikeable, greedy, and shifty. The plot was good. I feel like there could have been more accomplished with this story, especially the backstory with the mother. I rated it three out of five stars.

• Quick read with a predictable plot
• Old, creaky, mysterious house with family secrets vibes
• Slow moving with predictable outcome
• Unlikeable characters
• Okay concept but boring
• Seems more of a domestic dispute than

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

The book took some time to get into as it seemed to lack a wow factor. I felt like I had the book figured out and I was right. It includes lies, secrets, and a dysfunctional family. There are some plot twists that I enjoyed.

"The Inheritance" is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the dark secrets of Jane's past as she confronts the chilling truth about her father's murder. Forced to return to her family home, she unravels a web of deceit and betrayal, realizing that the killer may be someone closer than she ever imagined. With suspenseful twists and a race against time, this book will keep readers turning the pages eagerly as Jane races to uncover the shocking truth and right the wrongs of the past. A compelling read that earns four stars for its captivating storyline and skillful delivery of suspense and intrigue.
