Extraordinary! The roller coaster ride only stops as the last sentence is read. There is mystery, suspense, chills and thrills. I love mysteries! I love thrillers! To have it all in one novel is terrific reading.

I couldn't remember if I had read any novels by this author previously and in checking my GoodReads list I discovered I read "Scavenger" in 2014. So that answers the addition of "The Inheritance" on my wish-to-read list and receipt for Christmas 2019 as my husband and mother use my list for birthday and Christmas gifts. The author's short biographical sketch advises "he worked for many years at Murder Ink®, the world’s first mystery bookstore." It seems he honed his writing with complete absorption of all of the best novels within his purview. Well done, Tom Savage! Well done! ( )

WOW! ( )

This story kind of meandered along like a quiet country road...until, in classic Savage style, about 30 pages from the end you suddenly find yourself on the swerves and curves of a cliffside hill, barreling toward the end at breakneck speed. This is what I LOVE about reading Tom Savage's stuff...I think I know what's up, but I really don't until literally the last twist on the very last page. Bravo, TS, for getting me yet again. Nothing is better than a book that leaves you saying "Whoa" when you close it for the last time: Mission accomplished! ( )
