How The Other Half Die
Privilege has a price. But who will pay it?
Since usurping her brother as CEO, Geri Chalice has grown the family business into a lucrative global empire. She is revered and feared in equal measure.
On the eve of her seventieth birthday, Geri gathers her brother's spoilt adult children together on the family's private island and tells them that she's ready to name her successor.
Her announcement triggers a frenzy of suspicion, rivalry and back-stabbing. Each of the three siblings believes the role should go to them - despite the dark secrets that they all harbour.
As Geri uncovers the black heart of her own family, will the best among them win the prize? Or will the heirs to the Chalice crown finally get what they so richly deserve?
Reviews
HOW THE OTHER HALF DIE gave me everything I wanted from a sun-soaked psychological thriller: a perfect setting, deliciously-vile characters, and a relentlessly page-turning plot. This book brilliantly filled the void left by the end of #Succession, and I’m now a firm Rachel North fan!
A beautifully setting, flawed characters, sibling rivalry, secrets and lies - all the ingredients for a compulsive thrilling page turner, and HOW THE OTHER HALF DIE doesn't disappoint.
Hugely gripping, deliciously tense, and completely unputdownable, HOW THE OTHER HALF DIE is a pitch-perfect holiday read.
Privilege, power and dangerous secrets, all on a divine island: another cracking thriller from Rachel North
Pure escapism. Rich people, family politics and back-stabbing galore! I loved it.
Succession meets The White Lotus. Absolutely enthralling
Spoilt siblings who each have their own secrets vying for an inheritance on the family's private island, what's not to love? Deliciously awful characters and a stunning setting - can't wait to see what Rachel writes next!
Smartly observed.
