This book could be so good. It's a competition, but not like the Hunger Games or anything dystopian. It's all over the world, and I feel like this could be such good, detective-work-esque fun.

The Competition:
Outlandishly wealthy Grandmother VanDemere has decided to leave her vast fortune to the family member who proves him or herself worthiest—by solving puzzles and riddles on a whirlwind race around the globe, from the mines of Venezuela to the castles of Scotland. There will be eight competitors, three continents . . . and a prize worth millions.
The Players:
Seventeen-year-old Avery is the black sheep of the VanDemere clan, the ostracized illegitimate daughter. Finally, she has a chance to prove herself . . . and to discover the truth about her long-lost mother.
Marshall might be Avery’s uncle, but there’s no love lost between the two of them. He’s her main competition, and he’ll do anything to win—including betray his own children.
Riley is the handsome son of Grandmother VanDemere’s lawyer. As the game progresses, Avery falls hard for Riley. Suddenly, losing the game might mean losing him, too.
As the competition takes treacherous turns, it becomes clear there can only be one victor. Who can Avery truly trust? And is winning worth her life?
Whatcha waiting on this week?

Oooooooohh a competition for inheritance! Slightly reminds me of the movie Brewster's millions which I loved so much.

The concept reminds me a bit of 39 Clues, but it looks really good!

Looks like this one could be a lot of fun! Bold, striking cover, too. And tension between relatives can make for some interesting relationships and character development.
