Rachel Hawkins pulls no punches in the saga of battling relatives and potential heirs to a doomed house and legacy of either really bad luck or just plain evil. Cam is a quiet bartender and his wife a schoolteacher living modestly in Colorado when Cam is summoned back to the North Carolina family he worked so hard to get away from. His mother Ruby has died and left her entire estate to him leaving out her sister, niece and nephew. Bad blood runs deep and there is plenty of mean intentions in the McTavish family as well as a few bodies. Interspersed in the family drama that Cam and Jules find themselves in are a pack of damaging letters written by Ruby that catalogue her interesting life and bad luck with husbands. Even up to the end this whodunnit leaves us wondering who is a hero, who is a villain, who is innocent and who deserved what they got. Fans of wealthy damaged families like those found in SUCCESSION, KNIVES OUT or stories of black widow wives will find much to love. 4 stars
