READ THIS BOOK. What a treasure Tom Savage has produced. A book that keeps you on your toes. Just when you think you know what's going to happen the plot thickens and twists making you change your mind. This book has more twists than Spaghetti Junction, but it is all worth it. The ending makes the book even better and had me fooled.

Format:Hardcover
I found the novel a bit dis-jointed at the beginning. Perhaps it was just me. I had trouble figuring out how the characters were related to one another. But as the novel progressed, those relationships became clearer.
I found the novel to be fairly fast-paced and not prone to getting bogged down in unessential details. A few unexpected twist and the surprise ending clerarly tells me that I would do it again (read) with this author.

Who would of guessed that the sweet innocent girl had all those tricks up her sleeves. The shocker for me was when the book stated it wasn't the first time she saw the house. Read more

Many twists and turns.... keeps you guessing
This book really kept me guessing. It gave the classic examples that every decision one makes in life directly effects every aspect of one's life.

Barely a modern Gothic, more of a puzzle
In his acknowledgments, Savage likes to think that this novel owes so much to Poe, Hawthorne, D.H. Lawrence (a Gothic writer?!), Dickens and other 19th century writers. Read more

The book is engrossing, but with a deceptive ending.
The story was very gripping and well told. I liked everything about the book except the last 30 or so pages. Read more

A good book with a twisted ending.
If you like light reading with plot, suspense, and a guess who done it theme, The Inheritance is a good read. The ending I had to read twice just to make sure I got it all. Read more
