Rating: 4 out of 5

I received a complimentary copy of this book as a part of a book tour in exchange for a fair and honest review.  I rated it 4 out of 5 Stars.The first installment in a six part serial, The Inheritance Part 1, introduces us to the four main characters engaged in a race to win a multimillion dollar inheritance.  The introductory installment is mostly world building, character introduction and is centered on Maggie Willings and what she first encounters when she returns for the funeral and reading of her grandfathers will.Tasked with a challenge, to discover what happened to Cassandra Willings, Maggie’s younger sister and granddaughter of the man who left millions behind, Maggie, Robert, her older brother, Bethany, Maggie’s former best friend and her grandfather’s last girlfriend (yeah he went there), and Andrew, the man who broke Maggie’s heart, can either work together or work separately to uncover the truth about a girl missing for over ten years.Without giving spoilers, I will just say that if you plan to read this serial, the parts need to be read in order and you need to start with part 1 to understand the emotional dynamics of the challenge the characters will all undertake.  I especially liked how Ms. Mayfield developed Maggie’s character in this first installment and gave us hints as to the demons all of the characters will have to face.I enjoyed reading this installment and can’t wait to what happens next.
