It's addressed to her grandmother, who left the town in shame. But the letter describes a young woman. An injustice that happened decades ago. A mystery enfolding its writer.

Reviews for The Parker Inheritance (Scholastic Gold)

[Virginia Doellgast · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

The plot is the worst thing ever
Overall garbage and would not recommend

[Curley Arrington · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Ok. As a 50 something AA woman, I admit to skipping to the end of chapters in the past pre civil rights era. Political climate being what it is, I couldn’t hang. As a book to read with youth, I recommend and will send to my god daughter.
Go read it. The reader is satisfied in the end even if the protagonists do not know the whole history.
Now I want to reread the Westing Game! I have already recommended to 4 people!

This book was an amazing mystery and suspense and a historical fiction all in one book . This book also has a wonderful story and brings in the LGBTQIA community. I love this book and I strongly suggest you listen or read this book. ❤️ ?️‍?

Meh...the end left you wondering. The constant back and forth in time was annoying.
