I really enjoyed this thriller - I was constantly guessing. One thing I didn't like is it got very graphic/dark at the end of the novel, however that comes with the genre. Definitely recommend this booK!

this book was pretty good! I liked wondering what exactly was going on and who was who, and if that heir was who they said they were and claimed to be. It was well written and kept me entertained!

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

A very well done locked room mystery. The multiple POV was a huge plus and kept me wanting to read more. All the secrets had me scratching my head trying to figure out who actually did it.

I was hooked from start to finish and was engaged with what was happening with the story itself. I enjoyed the way the characters were written and was engaged with how they worked in this universe. It was suspenseful and enjoyed the overall concept of this. Rachel Paris has a strong writing style and really worked in the genre.

It took me a bit to get into this but after I did I was hooked. I love a crime family book! So so good.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!

This was a great thriller/drama. There was many twists that I did not see coming which makes a great book. The plot was not what I expected and was well developed as well as the characters. If you want to read about a rich family, a murder, secrets and mystery pick up this book.

I went into this book expecting it would be similar to the many other books I've read with similar plots of greed and jealousy amongst a wealthy, complex family filled with rivalries. What initially seemed like a Turner poisoning scandal turned into something with a lot more layers and dirt beneath the surface. I won't give away any spoilers and simply say readers will enjoy the unexpected twists.

I chuckled when a reporter was described to look like a shih-tzu which is my favorite dog breed.

Ultimately, I appreciate how the females were portrayed with quiet strength despite their issues and circumstances.

I rate this 4 out of 5 pinches of arsenic.

Thank you netgalley and the publishers for the ARC. I saw the description for this book and instantly thought this was going to be the book. I enjoyed the plot and character development. The story felt original and was engaging. I will read more by the author.

An Australian who-dunit locked room mystery. A billionaire empire family meets for a vacation. Nina dies of arsenic poisoning and Skye’s daughter, Tilly, fights for her life being poisoned as well. Nina’s husband Jamie runs the company, his brothers Hugo and Skye’s husband Duncan have leadership positions as well. Skye has become a partner husband’s blue blood wealthy elite although she comes from humble beginnings.

This is multi POV and happens over just a week or so. The chapters are between Skye- mother of the poisoned victim and detective Mei. Mei knows that there is more to this case than meets the eye. Skye is trying to determine the cause, pray for her daughter’s recovery, and not become a suspect. Everyone- including Skye- has secrets that will be uncovered over the course of the narrative.

This thriller is fast moving; many reveals and red herrings- this is a new to me publisher and debut author. Mei was a flat character without a lot of background; Skye had a history. It was easy to keep the characters apart despite a large family, many suspects and different directions. Great for fans of Jason Rekulak, Jeneva Rose, and Riley Sager.

Thanks to NetGalley and Scarlet publishing for the ARC. Book to be published April 29, 2025.
