The Will

'If you're a fan of the TV series Succession, you'll love this gripping story.' Closer

The Mordaunts aren't like most families . . .

For one, their family home is Roxborough Hall - a magnificent, centuries-old mansion in the Norfolk countryside. For another, the house isn't passed down from parent to child - but rather to the family member deemed most worthy.

Cecily Mordaunt is dead. On the evening of her funeral, her family will gather for dinner and each will be given a letter, revealing who is the next custodian of Roxborough Hall.

The house is a burden, a millstone, a full-time job . . . but they all want it. And some are willing do anything to get it.

One family. Eight letters. Who will get what they deserve?

Praise for Rebecca Reid:

—— -

A perfectly paced and beautifully observed story of betrayal, guilt and regret. It's so accurate on the intense friendships you make at University. Zadie is a brilliant character that you both love and fume over - selfish, needy and broken. I really did race through it.

—— Emma Curtis, author of KEEP HER QUIET

Disturbing and brilliant.

—— Lauren North, author of SAFE AT HOME

Rebecca Reid is a master of building tension.

—— Phoebe Morgan, author of THE BABYSITTER

Well written, with a plot and characters that haunt you long after you've finished.

—— Jane Corry, author of I MADE A MISTAKE

I raced through Two Wrongs, another compulsively readable thriller from Rebecca Reid - a heady, glamorous tale with a dark side, it's all about that friend we have when we don't know better - and still miss when we do...

—— Emma Rowley, author of YOU CAN TRUST ME

Malin Stehn skillfully depicts superficial friendships, the perfect life and marriage as portrayed on social media vs the secrets that are hidden beneath the surface. Through the points of view of three distinct characters - their thoughts, doubts and guilt - the story creeps closer to a harrowing reveal

—— Aftonbladet

A searing Scandi thriller

—— Sunday Post

Fans of Joanna Cannon's The Trouble with Goats and Sheep will devour this

—— Woman & Home

Totally heartbreaking, but also uplifting, this is a real gem of a read

—— The Sun

Its twists and turns leave your blood running cold

—— Good Housekeeping

It's rare that a thriller actually lives up to that word. But here - in the jeopardy its characters are plunged into, in the story's twists and turns, and in the true star of the novel, the mountain itself - Breathless truly manages to thrill

—— James Smythe , author of I Still Dream

A truly breathtaking thriller. It had me gasping and guessing with every turn of a page. The audacity of the adventure is only matched by the brilliance of McCulloch's deft and evocative writing

—— Kim Curran , author of the Slay series

A visceral, thrill-seeker's story of one woman's struggle to conquer her fears, with murder and mayhem at 8,000m. I really loved it.

—— Rosie Andrews, author of Leviathan

A frighteningly original novel written with a deep passion for the mountains and an inquisitive mind. A brilliantly chilling read

—— Giles Kristian

Chilling . . . there really is something about the combination of a remote snowbound location and a killer hiding in plain sight that is a recipe for success

—— Crime Monthly

A blockbuster-worthy thriller

—— Sunday Express
