“Rich People Problems” ends Kevin Kwan’s trilogy with a satirical scramble for an inheritance, and readers largely come away happy with the outcome. Three Singapore clans gather at a deathbed, each hoping for a place in the will. Some readers find the family ties easier to follow than in the second book; some feel one villain’s punishment is harsher than the story needed. Being the last volume, it assumes the first two.
