Education and Favorite Things Cecily has lived in the House for over 50 years, bringing up her children there and often having her grandchildren to stay for extended holidays. The House means a lot to several members of the family and they are all hopeful that they might be the ones to inherit. When it is time for her to pass it on, the family gathers together, keen to see who it might be, but nervous that it might not be them. When they find out who it is, no-one is more surprised than the new owner - what does it mean?

I no longer let frustration build up inside me like a pressure cooker, blowing up every few weeks because I have denied my anger an outlet for so long. Instead I modulate my frustration, letting it out at the appropriate moment, towards the correct person. And while it might sound a little like a cult, my marriage is better, my friendships are stronger, my professional relationships are more transparent, and I am, across the board, a much more pleasant person to be around - since I discovered the power of rude.

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. I raced through Two Wrongs, another compulsively readable thriller from Rebecca Reid - a heady, glamorous tale with a dark side, it's all about that friend we have when we don't know better - and still miss when we do... Emma Rowley, author of YOU CAN TRUST ME 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. She has previously featured on Women's Hour and This Morning, and she currently routinely appears on Sky News, Good Morning Britain, Channel 5 News, BBC Radio, and LBC. Each person is vividly drawn and complex, and there were so many surprises in store that I could not tear myself away until I found out who matriarch Cecily had found worthy to bequeath the old mansion to. The answer was also quite unexpected! Reid writes with insight and a vitality that made this story come to life for me, and I can’t wait to read more from her in future.

I also was a bit thrown by all the furore about cousins being romantically involved. Personally I do not have any cousins, so perhaps I do not understand - however on looking it up I read that cousins marrying each other used to be common in the past and continues today in some societies, with more than 10% of marriages worldwide between first or second cousins currently. Rebecca Reid is married and has a beautiful family life with her husband. The couple lives in Kentish Town, North London. What an enjoyable few hours spent with this dysfunctional lot! The characterisation is excellent, they’re very definitely a mixed bag and they’re certainly not dull that’s for sure. The only thing I become invested in is that David and Bryony will not get their hands on it but I’m not telling if my wish comes true! The atmosphere is fabulous with assumptions, presumptions, deviousness, secretiveness and many resentments and issues abounding. All is most definitely not what it seems. The tension and suspense builds as we head to the reading of the Will with the author using the atmosphere of the house to add an extra level of anticipation. There are numerous twists, it’s darkly humorous it makes me smile as we head to the very unexpected denouement. Learning to ignore the fear of seeming rude is not an overnight transformation – unsurprising given that it’s drilled into us from birth.

But I do a little better every day, and I’ve found that I am far happier.The journalist started her career at a young age and has contributed to many news channels, newspapers, and magazines.
