About this listen

Two bodies. One will. A family full of secrets.

Detective Caius Beauchamp is dispatched to a double murder in a South London townhouse. It looks like a simple botched burglary, until Caius gets a tip-off about the well-heeled family's nefarious past. Which is worse: the body on the floor or the skeletons in the closet?

Caius' own family circumstances have changed recently: some complicated inheritance tetris means he is now in line to inherit a country estate. He's still getting used to his new life in the upper echelons of society. And when he realises that he recognises the victims from a recent luxury train ride, it all starts feeling a little close for comfort.

A Deadly Inheritance by Charlotte Vassell

Book 3 of Caius Beauchamp Mysteries

I recently had to move Book 2 in this series (The In Crowd) up my TBR pile, because I was approved for book 3 in the series, and you know I can’t have two books in the same series on my TBR pile. Yes, I’m aware that this is the second time in recent months when an author is writing faster than I can read! I’m a busy girl!

This is a series that you should definitely read in order. Caius’ personal situation changes dramatically over the series’s story arc. For example, his new girlfriend, Callie, has her story explained in The In Crowd, which is essential information for this book.

As with earlier books, Arthur Hampton assigns a case to Caius and his Special Unit; these murders involve more horrible people: Nazis! 🤮 Fascism 🤮 Eugenics 🤮 Mummy bloggers 🤮 (that’s a joke, don’t come at me Mummy bloggers).

I got confused at times. With so many people and threads, and all the twists and turns, it was hard to see how everything would come together in the end, but it did!

Thanks to NetGalley and Faber & Faber books for providing me with an eARC of A Deadly Inheritance to review; it and books 1 and 2 in the series are out now.

Thumbs up 👍
