The Heirs

Five prodigies, a dead father, and a mansion full of suspects....

Octavius, the Maestro

Fola, the Brain

Bilal, the Olympian

Perdita, the Artist

Romeo, the Failure

The five adopted heirs of the illustrious billionare Leontes Button, and viciously trained and raised with his so called "Button method" to produce prodigies and child geniuses...set to ridiculously high standards ... forced to be brilliant from a young age...

Each year the five gather at their father's so-called Prodigy Ball to recognize child geniuses such as them...until their father is murdered at the seventh Prodigy Ball...

And now all who attended the ball are suspects. Forced to stay within the mansion as the police investigate...and the police truly have their work cut out for them...

Each of the siblings has secrets that they wish to hide.

And Leontes Button?

Well... he was excellent at making enemies.

This is my first work by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé and I have to say, I am quite surprised at how much I loved it. While there are a few noticeable errors, mistakes with names... and a rather noticeable slowdown between the first and the second half of the book, this was still quite the enjoyable read, and the perfect blend of "whodunit?" and intense family drama.... full of intrigue, twists and turns... and plenty of options for who exactly offed Mr. Button...
