Ruth Ware

"On a day that begins like any other, Harriet Westaway receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance from her grandmother. Hal knows there's been a mistake; her grandparents have been dead for more than twenty years, and she hasn't had anyone to help her since her mother died three years ago. But the bills are piling up and Hal is running out of options. Down on her luck and worn thin by the weight of adulthood, Hal can't help but wonder if the cold-reading skills she's honed as a tarot card reader might help her claim the money. Soon, Hal finds herself at Trepassen, the sprawling estate in the English country side where the deceased Mrs. Westaway's family has gathered to pay their respects and claim their bequest. But it doesn't take long for Hal to realize that there's something very, very wrong about this strange situation . . . and the inheritance is at the center of it."--, Provided by publisherAfter erroneously receiving a mysterious letter about a large inheritance, Hal attends the funeral of the deceased and realizes that something is very, very wrong
