The Inheritance: A Novel
Trisha Sakhlecha · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Avita Jay, Ellie Kendrick, and Tamaryn Payne
76/100
👍 Worth It
A wealthy family's island reunion turns to murder once everyone's secrets start surfacing, and reviewers (plus a Lisa Jewell blurb calling it insanely readable) praised it as a diabolical, propulsive page-turner with real social bite about greed. Worth knowing the publisher flags sensitive content around pregnancy loss, miscarriage, and a child's death, so go in prepared for that. The three-narrator cast wasn't reviewed in detail in what I found, but the story itself earns its page-turner reputation.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: publisher-listed content warnings include pregnancy, miscarriage, and mention of the death of a sibling/child -- sensitive loss-related material worth knowing going in. We still scored it 76; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
