I should have read the first few pages before buying The Inheritance. Thankfully, I was able to return it. It was so ridiculous that in this day and age of identity theft scams that someone would just pick up and go to Scotland to claim the inheritance of a grandfather that her mother swears doesn't exist. What about checking with an investigator first to see if the claim is at all valid? What about checking with a lawyer to see if the documents are on the up and up? I could have gotten past the ridiculous scenario if the writing had been half-way decent, but it wasn't. This person who is supposed to be an expert in literature doesn't even know that you're supposed to put a comma between two independent phrases? In addition, the author did not paint any kind of picture of the emotional state of the main character or even a picture of her physical surroundings. Just awful!
