The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

This is my stop on the blog tour for the wonderful roller coaster mystery, The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynne Barnes. I’ve described this as a roller coaster mystery because that is exactly what it is. 

We are thrown into a world in which Avery finds unsettling after her plan to work hard and keep her head down are upturned. Avery becomes the sole beneficiary to an eccentric billionaire who has died. I mean, who is this man that she has never met?

The situation becomes uncomfortable when Avery has to move into the mansion she has inherited with the family of the billionaire, who are bitterly disappointed that they have received very little of the fortune. The bizarre situation becomes even more mysterious with clues, codes and secret passageways in the mansion and grounds that could reveal the reason why Avery may have inherited the fortune. A dangerous game is played by the family and Avery but it’s all about one winner, so just how far will the family go to keep their fortune?

This is a story with a plot that is addictive. A story that is gripping with every turn of the page. It is a novel that you will devour as you hungrily journey with Avery as she deciphers the clues in this inheritance game.

A remarkable original story that is written with a clear plot but keeps you guessing. It flows along at a perfect pace, with a strong narrative. Jennifer Lynne Barnes, you are an author I look forward to reading more of.
