An inheritance wrapped in riddles

Avery Grambs expects to leave high school with a scholarship and a way forward; instead, billionaire Tobias Hawthorne names her his heir, despite her having no idea who he was. The inheritance brings her to Hawthorne House, where puzzles and codes are part of the surroundings—and where the displaced Hawthorne family, including four grandsons, has reason to question her place there. The mystery links a sudden change in fortune to a house shaped by its late owner’s puzzle-making habits, while Avery must navigate the family’s competing interpretations of why she was chosen.

Book overview

OVER 9 MILLION COPIES SOLD OF THE #1 BESTSELLING SERIES

Don't miss this New York Times bestselling "impossible to put down" (Buzzfeed) novel with deadly stakes, thrilling twists, and juicy secrets--perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying and Knives Out.

Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why--or even who Tobias Hawthorne is.

To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch--and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a conwoman, and he's determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather's last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Caught in a world of wealth and privilege with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.
