The Mother-in-law by author Sally Hepworth is an intense and twisty psychological thriller! I was gripped into this book and it for sure held my interest! The characters were great, whether likable or not, they were solid. The plot was perfect, always pulling you in more.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an arc copy of The Mother-in-law in exchange for an honest review.

Does any woman ever measure up, is she ever good enough for her mother-in-law? Lucy has always known that she wasn’t what Diana wanted for her son, but that didn’t stop her from trying. Now, Diana is dead, a suicide note found nearby stating she no longer has the strength to fight the cancer riddling her body. There’s only one problem – Diana does not have cancer. As her death begins to look more like a murder., the question arises – who would want her dead, and why? Does it have anything to do with the fact that her will was amended to disinherit her children and their spouses? I got such a kick out of this novel, as a woman who has had two mothers-in-law (two too many) and I loved seeing the layers of Lucy and Diana’s relationship peel back to reveal the truth
