The Legacy is a novel about family and loss. At the beginning of the book, Jonathan Coulter leaves the decision of how to dispose of his estate to his three children, Liv, Chloe and Noah. Whilst grieving for the loss of their father, the three children have to work through tensions and rivalry to carry out their father’s wishes.

I enjoyed this book; the chapters were really short and made me want to keep on reading. As such I read this in a day. I also liked that we had the different narratives, and so it felt like I was able to understand why each of the characters were the way they were.

I also liked the setting of the story; all of the family coming together in the big old house in Scarborough definitely created tension and suspense, which really added to the family drama.

I thought it was well written and I would recommend this book to others.
