Review: The Mother-in-Law

The Mother-in-Law The Mother-in-Law by Sally Hepworth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Given the last several years' plethora of "psychological thrillers," I kind of expected to find here the usual unreliable narrator who has "done something very bad," but endeavours to conceal that from the reader as long as possible. So I was agreeably surprised to find multiple narrators, each bearing distinctive personalities, and mostly not trying to shovel fog over truth. Additionally, THE MOTHER-IN-LAW contains a number of enterprising surprises, red herrings, and a genuinely evil villain--but you have to read to discover that identity. A good beach or vacation read.
