Overview
Privilege has a price. But who will pay it? 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 as CEO of the lucrative global empire founded by their grandfather. 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! -- Philippa East, author of LITTLE WHITE LIES Hugely gripping, deliciously tense, and completely unputdownable, How The Other Half Die is a pitch-perfect holiday read. -- Carole Hailey, bestselling author of THE SILENCE PROJECT 'Terrific ... from the first page I was completely hooked by this compelling story of the very rich and very dysfunctional ... expertly etched, acid sharp and strong ... a timely, sadly much-needed morality tale for the spikey world of the 2020s' -- J M Hall, author of A SPOONFUL OF MURDER A beautiful 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 -- Sarah Dunnakey, author of THE TWELVE MURDERS OF CHRISTMAS
'Succession meets The White Lotus. Absolutely enthralling' Antony Johnston 'Relentlessly page-turning' Philippa East 'Pure escapism' L D Smithson Praise for Rachel North: 'Creepy and compulsive' Sabine Durrant 'A stonking page-turner' Emma Curtis
