Fatal Inheritance

by Stephen Walker

Sherlock Holmes had nothing to worry about. He only had to deal with a big dog on the moors. Liz Sanford, the nation's official occult investigator, has to deal with a much bigger threat to life and limb in the wilds of North Yorkshire. When a vague acquaintance of her flatmate Alison Parker dies almost immediately after inheriting notorious haunted house Delgado Manor, our heroine finds herself drawn into a mystery upon which the survival of Earth itself could hinge. How does the half-forgotten murder of would-be-Aleister-Crowley Valentyne Delgado fit into this and how does it tie into the myth of an even more forgotten goddess? From Stephen Walker, the author of cult classics, 'Danny Yates Must Die,' and, 'Mr Landen Has No Brain,' comes a tale of death, mystery and frustration. 'Fatal inheritance,' is a modern fantasy that mixes horror and humour to create a tale that wears both hats with style. If you liked Buffy and Xena, then you might just like this. If you didn't, you might still like it. If you liked other Liz Sanford adventures like, 'The Mummy Shrugged,' 'Who The Hell Is Dominic Pine?' 'Don't Make Me Shoot You, Santa,' 'The Weakest Link,' and, 'A Gockle of Fear,' You'll definitely like it. Will Liz Sanford save us all? Will she find romance with a man who's the living embodiment of science? Will she stop her flatmate from becoming her sidekick? And will she ever be able to sort out who the good guys are and who the bad guys are? Only, 'Fatal Inheritance,' can tell you. Get it before it's too late for us all. 64,000 words.

[Charlie Curran · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very good book, a lot different from the author's other books but still a lot of fun, as we get a very modern female occult investigator's search for the secret of a big house in the middle of nowhere, and her bid to overcome the interference of her boss and flatmate. Yet again, it's the characters and dialogue that make the book stand out from the norm. Great stuff.
