About this audiobook

From the award-winning New York Times and Indie bestselling author of Ace of Spades comes a mystery about five teen geniuses, their billionaire father, and the aftermath of his murder—perfect for fans of The Inheritance Games, Umbrella Academy, and Knives Out!

Five prodigies, one dead father, a mansion full of suspects...

Octavius the Maestro.
Fola the Brain.
Bilal the Olympian.
Perdita the Artist.
Romeo the Failure.

These are the five heirs of the illustrious billionaire Leontes Button. Adopted and viciously trained with their father’s infamous “Button Method” to prove his hypothesis for creating prodigies—child geniuses—the Button siblings have had no choice but to be brilliant according to their father's impossibly high standards.

Until he is murdered at his annual Prodigy Ball.

Now, all who attended the ball are required to stay in the Button Manor while the police investigate. But the officers have their work cut out for them—each of the Button siblings has something to hide, but The Heirs aren't the only ones with secrets. After all, Leontes Button was especially good at making enemies.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the gifted book and ALC. While I love the idea of YA murder mystery, the pacing felt off. I actually quit before the murder even occurred. And at that point, I didn't feel any connection to any of the characters, but there was a bit of "poor little rich" boy vibe going around, and I wasn't feeling it. While I liked the narrator, I did struggle keeping track of all the characters.
