Praise for The Inheritance:

'Sakhlecha's glamorous thriller portrays a dysfunctional family doing despicable things in the name of love.' Washington Post

'With echoes of the TV dramas Succession and The White Lotus, but also of Agatha Christie and The Traitors, Trisha Sakhlecha's third novel centres on a wealthy Indian family, the Agarwals, who gather on a Scottish island to celebrate Papa and Mama's wedding anniversary... As the family crisis unfolds, Sakhlecha displays a Christie-like knack for misdirection, framing everyone on the island as at once a potential victim and a potential killer.' The Times
