The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins @StMartinsPress @LadyHawkins #BookReview #TheHeiress

Just look at that cover! ๐Ÿ’š

I loved this author’s, The Wife Upstairs, but didn’t care for Reckless Girls. I was a little nervous, but this one grabbed my attention early and pulled me deeper into the mystery with every page, every chapter.

Ruby McTavish is quite the intriguing character! That is a peek at her portrait on the gorgeous cover. She may have more skeletons in her closet than ANY other character I’ve read about. Her home is a fifteen-bedroom mansion called Ashby House. Some may refer to it as a “lion’s den” and with good reason! ๐Ÿฆ They needed a Enter At Your Own Risk sign!

Ashby House created a creepy atmosphere that really set the mood. If those walls could speak, they would have a story to tell and in a way they do. The portrait that hung at the top of the stairs gave me major chills and I almost expected it to come alive. I’d be sleeping with one eye open in that house! ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

Nelle reminded me of a Ms. Danvers ( the housekeeper in Rebecca, with her mean spirited stunts). Rebecca is my favorite gothic classic novel and this one had some strong vibes that I loved.

Expect rumors, whispers, secrets/scheming and a truly twisted house of unexpected happenings!
