Thoughts: If you’re looking for a good mystery without too much of a Gone Girl factor, this is perfect. Hal gets a letter stating that her grandmother has died and is requested to be present for the reading of the will. She assumes it’s a mistake as her mother always told her they had no other family, but decides to go anyway as she is desperate for a way to pay of her debts. Upon arriving at the house she realizes the dynamics and history of this family offer a lot more questions than answers on how she ended up here.
Summary: On a day that begins like any other, Hal receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance. She realizes very quickly that the letter was sent to the wrong person—but also that the cold-reading skills she’s honed as a tarot card reader might help her claim the money.
Soon, Hal finds herself at the funeral of the deceased…where it dawns on her that there is something very, very wrong about this strange situation and the inheritance at the center of it.
