FIVE PRODIGIES
Everyone has heard of the Button heirs: the five genius children of infamous billionaire Leontes Button. Adopted and trained under the "Button Method", they've had no choice but to be brilliant.

ONE DEAD FATHER
But brilliance comes at a deadly price. Because at their father's tenth annual Prodigy Ball, Leontes Button is murdered.

A MANSION FULL OF SUSPECTS
As long-buried secrets come to light, one thing is clear: everyone at the ball had reason to want him dead. After all, their father was especially good at making enemies...

A rollercoaster of twists and turns with secrets, lies, murder and money, The Heirs is The Inheritance Games meets Knives Out.

A compulsive and completely addictive murder mystery that is also a beautiful mediation on sibling hood and the pressures to succeed, and the lasting effects this can have, this novel is a glorious tour de force. -- Margaret McDonald
