A Deadly Inheritance (4, 2025) | Charlotte Vassell

TWO MURDERS. ONE WILL. A FAMILY FULL OF SECRETS. 'One of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction.' ERIN KELLY 'A fresh, bitingly witty take on the whodunnit.' RED , ON THE OTHER HALF 'A total joy to read.' HARRIET TYCE Two murders. Rosie wakes up at 3am already feeling the twinges of a brutal hangover - an afternoon spent day drinking with her uni pals has left her rather the worse for wear. She creeps downstairs for a glass of water - only to stumble onto a shocking, bloody scene in the kitchen. One will. It looks like a botched burglary has left both Rosie's grandmother and her attacker dead. But then Detective Inspector Caius Beauchamp gets a tip about the matriarch's last will. It turns out, this well-heeled family has a nefarious past. A family full of secrets. With his reputation on the line and powerful people pressuring him to close the case, Caius must decide what's more dangerous: the body on the floor or the skeletons in the closet? WHAT READERS ARE SAYING These books hold every single thing a reader could want. Thriller? Check. Mystery that keeps you wondering? Plenty. Characters that you want to know and see some of your friends in? Sure. If you like mystery/thrillers which are just a bit different, are quirky and with plenty of good humour then check out Charlotte Vassel's Caius Beauchamp series. I absolutely love Charlotte Vassell's writing style, it completely meshes with what I want in a book, quirky, entertaining, a bit gossipy (quite a bit gossipy if I'm being honest) and some characters that you really root for.
