"The Mordaunts aren't like most families. For one, their family home is Roxborough Hall -- a magnificent, centuries-old mansion in the Norfolk countryside. For another, the house isn't passed down from parent to child -- but rather to the family member deemed most worthy. Cecily Mordaunt is dead. On the evening of her funeral, her family will gather for dinner and each will be given a letter, revealing who is the next custodian of Roxborough Hall. The house is a burden, a millstone, a full-time job . . . but they all want it. And some are willing do anything to get it. One family. Eight letters. Who will get what they deserve?"--Publisher
