The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (2020)

A normal teen inherits a billionaire’s fortune — and a house filled with puzzles, secret passages, and resentful heirs. What follows is part mystery, part adventure, and part social chess match. Barnes builds tension with brilliant pacing and keeps readers guessing till the final page. It’s clever, compulsive, and surprisingly heartfelt.
