Inheritance

LoveReading Says

Teeming with tragedies across time as it tingles with romance and haunting family secrets, Nora Roberts’ Inheritance — the first book in The Lost Bride Trilogy — ticks a whole lot of boxes for fans of suspenseful family drama fiction, with supernatural elements upping the tension.

The novel opens tantalisingly in 1806, when a bride’s wedding day joy is extinguished in an instant. Skip forward to the present-day, and we meet another soon-to-be-bride, Sonya, whose life is overturned when she catches her philandering fiancé in the act with her cousin: “For the first time in her life, she fully understood the concept of head-spinning”.

Just as she begins to get back on track, with a new freelance career on the horizon, Sonya inherits a Victorian house from an uncle she never knew she had. Turns out, the house isn’t the only thing she’s inherited — it seems “Lost Bride Manor” might be cursed, and Sonya is compelled to solve an centuries-old mystery.

Driven by a determined young woman, and boasting an addictive gothic atmosphere, dedicated Nora Roberts fans will adore this spinetingling series opener.
