The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins
3.0
Ruby McTavish was the victim of a kidnapping as a child which launched her into infamy. However, it was the death of her four husbands that kept her there for the rest of her life. 10 years after her death her son, and sole heir of Ashby House is forced to return to the one place and people he never hoped to see again. Ruby’s sister and decedents have never let Cam forget that he is a McTavish by adoption and the house never should have been his in the first place. Throughout the story we learn the truth about the family, Ruby’s husbands and discover at what price people are willing to kill for what they believe is theirs.
The Heiress felt like a mix of The Seven Husbands of Evalyn Hugo, Verity and Before We were yours. We are being told the Story of Ruby’s husbands through letters Ruby wrote to an unknown party. During these confessions she reveals the story of her kidnapping and how it affected her family for years to come. Throughout the book I found myself wondering how reliable is Ruby? I loved the idea of this book, and it was a fun quick read, but for me personally it didn’t shine the same way Hawkins past books have.
