Review: The Inheritance - Kate Horan - January 2025 I am fascinated with DNA testing and have gotten mine done so I have found books that contain the topic fascinating and was excited when I received the ARC from HarperCollins NZ. The book starts with Meg visiting her mother Jenny in the rest home as she has dementia. Her mother calls her not only Tina but also mentions the place, Hartley. Meg had never heard of Hartley and doesn't know who Tina is, so being the journalist that she is at heart she decides to pitch a story about Hartley Gaol and a rich elite family taking over the town -the Ashworth’s. While in town Meg spends some time asking questions and soon finds out that everything, she knew about her mother was a lie and that something bad must have happened here in Hartley. Meg gets Georgia - a girl who could be her potential cousin to take a DNA test which she does, at the same time Isobel Ashworth has also taken a DNA test and the results match with Meg as a close relative...
