The Mother-in-Law

By Sally Hepworth

Mystery & Thrillers

Women's Fiction

Release Date: April 23, 2019

I really enjoyed this book  It touches on difficult family relationships but this family has more issues than most.

My Netgalley Review:

When Lucy meets Ollie's family she has hopes of a relationship with his mother. Lucy lost her mother at a young age.  She wanted to impress Diana and she wanted Diana to like her. The first meeting doesn't go as expected. Lucy feels like Diana doesn't like her. As time goes by there are many conflicts between Lucy and Diana. 

The story alternates between Lucy and Diana.  It also goes between the present and past. 

When Diana is found dead and a suicide note is found in a drawer the family thinks it's a suicide but after the autopsy it looks like someone wanted Diana dead. Of course, everyone knows about the complicated relationship between mother in law and daughter in law. Diana is also very wealthy. Did her daughter in law want her out of the picture?  Did someone kill her in order inherit money?  Did someone kill her out of anger?

This is my second book by Sally Hepworth.  I found it very enjoyable and look forward to reading more from this author.
