Can’t Wait Wednesday: The Mother-In-Law by @sallyhepworth @stmartinspress #6bookbestiesmotherinlaw

Can’t Wait Wednesday is a feature hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to talk about books that we are looking forward to reading soon.

This week I’m linking up with my friend Jennifer at Tarheel Reader to talk about how we can’t wait to read The Mother-In-Law by Sally Hepworth! This is one of our upcoming Bestie reads and it has been tempting me from my bookshelf. I think it will be well-worth the wait though. Early reviews call it unputdownable and highly original, which is quite a compliment in a saturated thriller genre!

“Hepworth deftly keeps the reader turning pages and looking for clues, all the while building multilayered characters and carefully doling out bits of their motivations.” —Booklist

About the Book

From the moment Lucy met her husband’s mother, Diana, she was kept at arm’s length. Diana was exquisitely polite, and properly friendly, but Lucy knew that she was not what Diana envisioned. But who could fault Diana? She was a pillar of the community, an advocate for social justice who helped female refugees assimilate to their new country. Diana was happily married to Tom, and lived in wedded bliss for decades. Lucy wanted so much to please her new mother-in-law.

That was five years ago.

Now, Diana has been found dead, a suicide note near her body. Diana claims that she no longer wanted to live because of a battle with cancer.

But the autopsy finds no cancer.
The autopsy does find traces of poison and suffocation.
Who could possibly want Diana dead?
Why was her will changed at the eleventh hour to disinherit both of her adult children and their spouses?

With Lucy’s secrets getting deeper and her relationship with her mother-in-law growing more complex as the pages turn, this new novel from Sally Hepworth is sure to add to her growing legion of fans.
