The Mother-in-Law
by

Intensely Readable and Immensely Dishy!
What is it about in-laws that makes them so abhorred? Is it their constant meddling? Perhaps their subtle, but persistent disapproval of every little thing. For Lucy, she just wants her Mother-in-law, Diana, to love her. Accept her. But that is never going to happen. At least not as long as Diana walks the earth . . .
For originality, this one deserves five stars. In addition, this was Hepworth's first attempt at the thriller genre, and I think she nailed it. I've always loved her work, but I was a little apprehensive about whether or not she could pull off a suspense novel. I'm here to tell you... she rocked it!
I don't want to share too much about the plot or characters, because I feel you should know as little as possible going into this one. There is a huge twist, that was very well-executed. Not only was this a supreme psychological thriller, but it was a meditation on the dysfunction between families. I always love me some good drama!
There is a storm brewing in the East coast and in my opinion, you should put on something cozy, and get this book. It's a delight to behold!

Great review, there are so many mixed reviews for this book, I have it coming up closer to pub date, great to see your 5 stars :)
Loved your review Crumb
I'm looking forward to this one!
Fantastic review Crumb! I'll be reading this one in 2019 for sure.
I am among the many, I guess, who does not have an easy, cozy Mother-in-law. But Ron says her, uh, "demeanour" is not just me and that he grew up with it. Q;->= That is a relief, hehe!
