The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins
4.5
mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

This is my second read from this author, the first being The Wife Upstairs which I thoroughly enjoyed, & I'm happy to say that this was another win in my book!

Told in multiple POV's, we primarily follow Camden, Jules & Ruby. Ruby, the late Heiress' sections are strictly in an epistolary format sprinkled in here & there as letters recounting her life written to an unknown individual. Camden is Ruby's adopted son and the sole heir to Ruby's inheritance. Jules, the third POV, is Camden's wife who just might be harboring some secrets of her own.

The Heiress is an engaging, entertaining, & edge of your seat ride that will keep you turning pages!!

I honestly felt like this book was a dash of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo with Riley Sager mixed in so if that appeals to you, definitely pick this up!!
