Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest thriller by Rachel Hawkins, with the audio perfectly narrated by Dan Bittner; Eliza Foss; John Pirhalla; Patti Murin - 5 stars!
Toddler Ruby McTavish was lost as a child and returned back from another family. Her life has continued to be quite an adventure ever since. She writes letters telling about those adventures and all her husbands before she dies at an elderly age. Her adopted son, Cam, and his wife, Jules, leave their home in CO to go back to NC after being summoned by a cousin. Cam is the rightful heir to Ashby House, a decision that has made the rest of the family upset. Cam never wanted anything to do with his greedy family, but Jules convinced him to go back.
Told from the viewpoints of Cam, Jules and Ruby (through her letters), this is such a wild and twisty ride. Hawkins takes so many different events and time periods and seamlessly weaves them together into such a tale of family, greed, jealousy, power. You will love to hate these characters! And just when I thought the last twist was over, the ending blew me away. Highly recommended!
