The Will by Rebecca Reid
4.0
Roxborough Hall in Norfolk plays at centre stage in this compelling novel. It’s home to the Mordaunt family and has been for generations. As part of the Mordaunt family tradition the house is bequeathed to a member of the family who is deemed most worthy, primogeniture is thrown out of the window and everyone is in with a chance of inheriting the hall. Letters are written to every member of the family detailing not only who is to be the next owner of Roxborough but also the reasons why the others have not inherited it.
On the death of Cecily Mordaunt, this dysfunctional family gathers from far and wide to discover who the next owner will be.
As speculation increases the tension rises keeping the reader glued to the pages as the story steadily unfolds. It’s told from multiple POVs and is punctuated with well placed flashbacks that give breathtaking glimpses into the back stories of the family. There are several eyebrow arching surprises and some big, gutsy plot twists along the way which will keep you guessing right to the end.
I found it an absolutely compelling and riveting read! Loved it!
