All of Us Murderers

"Like an Edwardian Succession, this gothic romp is about who gets what in the event of a patriarch’s passing. Novelist Walter Wyckham lived until nearly 80 but, rumor has it, made a pact with the devil, ensuring that he would enjoy success and long life but that none of his successors would be as lucky. Many years later, the author’s son and heir, Wynn, gathers his quarrelsome family to sort out what will happen to the extensive estate in the event that the curse leads to his untimely death. Of course there’s an outrageous stipulation. And the lengthy house party is a nest of fortune-hunting vipers. The exception is Zeb, who’s more concerned that his ex is now Wynn’s personal secretary. Shady shenanigans ensue. But this is KJ Charles, so it’s also stylish and sexy."
