The Inheritance

Summary: Not bad!
Review: Great rainy weekend book, interesting plot twist in the last 20 pages. A few too many characters to track...it was hard to tell which ones were essential to the plot until the end, then I wondered why he'd spent time on their stories (i.e., the local police chief). Savage has a wonderful imagination. He works in a mystery book store, and obviously all the books he's had access to have rubbed off! The very last page was overkill (pardon the pun). Holly, the protagonist, obviously had a conscience, so I doubt she would have taken the "epilogue" risk of going for $600 million rather than a measly $300 million. Then again, I could be wrong! I'd love to know how the author arrived at that ending. Thanks, Mr. Savage. I will get your previous books and read them too.

Summary: My new favorite author
Review: Tom Savage has become my new favorite author. I just wish he'd come out with a new one soon! Inheritance was a nice, easy read until you got to Chapter 13. If you can't dedicate yourself to finishing the book once you reach Chapter 13, put it down until you can. There was one shock after another. My husband thought I was having heart problems because I kept gasping!! Make sure to read the rest of his book; they are just as suspenseful!! Please, Tom, come out with another one soon!!!!

Summary: Excellent read
Review: What a great book. I read this after it being suggested by our school's library assistant and couldnt wait to read it after classes (I'm a teacher). Luckily, my students and I have silent reading time every day, so I was able to finish it within a week. I've never read any Savage books before, but plan to read another very soon.
