Fatal Inheritance by Rachel Rhys is another random pick for its comfortably large font size. The plot sounds intriguing: an English housewife Eve Forrester has been bequeathed a one-quarter share of an enchanting villa in France by a wealthy stranger, Guy Lester, in attonement for past wrongs.
It has been an interesting but unchallenging read and not as compelling as I expected it to be, given the premise of mystery and secrets hidden in the past. I find there’s too much meandering in telling the story, with a number of random characters that don’t really factor in the story.
However, I enjoyed reading about the money, love, fame, art, literature, politics, respect, honesty, decency and relationships involved. I will try to find a book on the life of F. Scott Fitzgerald, after learning about his marriage to a wife who went mad, the alcoholism and the early death.
