A review by jilljemmett
Fatal Inheritance by Rachel Rhys

4.0

I was excited to read this new suspenseful, historical fiction novel. It didn’t disappoint.

This story was set in the South of France. I’ve never been there, but I would love to go after reading this book. The setting was incredibly descriptive. It was set in various villas along the coast. Though the story was tense, the setting was calming.

The tension of the story built slowly. The plot began immediately, when Eve was told that she had been given an inheritance by a mysterious man. There wasn’t much progression in that plot until the last third of the story. There were a couple of interesting subplots, that didn’t really have anything to do with Eve’s mystery. The ultimate resolution made sense, and I was happy with where Eve ended up.

This is a great historical read for the summer!

Thank you Simon and Schuster for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
