Inheritance

Family sagas are often bloated and desperately in need of a savage edit imo, but this one isn't . The characters are well-rounded and believable. They all have a part to play in a plot which gradually draws together seamlessly to a credible conclusion at a family party where the who and why of the central mystery is resolved. Although the nuggets of information along the way do hint at what the truth might be, they add to the enjoyment of the read. The prologue and epilogue bookend the story excellently, leaving a bittersweet feeling at the close. Very good.
