In The Inheritance, Layne Fortunefield's escape from her con-artist family is abruptly halted by a cryptic text, pulling her back to a past she thought she'd left behind. From the tranquility of her life in Toronto, where she seeks solace in therapy, Layne is thrust into a whirlwind of betrayal, mystery, and unexpected challenges.
As she grapples with professional deceit and personal heartbreak, Layne is confronted with a message that refuses to fade into oblivion. The urgency of the text implies a looming threat, and the stakes escalate when she discovers unsettling news that shatters her assumptions about her current life.
Living with a flirtatious roommate who turns out to be less than trustworthy, Layne finds herself at a pivotal crossroad. The decision to ignore the ominous message or return to a past she tried desperately to escape becomes more complex with each passing moment.
In The Inheritance, Layne Fortunefield faces a gripping dilemma that forces her to question her loyalties, unravel family secrets, and confront the shadows of her past. Will she choose the path of self-preservation, or will she risk everything to confront the ominous unknown that awaits her back home?
The Inheritance is a psychological thriller with characters and intricate plot very tightly told. Some of the writing is blindingly good.

The Inheritance gets darker and more puzzling by the page. Layne’s psychologically troubled. Her judgement is suspect. But clearly she shouldn’t trust her brother and we fear she shouldn’t trust her boyfriend either. But can the reader trust Layne? Not likely. She can’t even trust herself. Get yourself a copy of The Inheritance and enjoy a compulsive read!
