About this listen
'Fiction at its finest' Liane Moriarty, Number One bestselling author
'Perfect for fans of BIG LITTLE LIES' - Library Journal
She has never approved of you. But it's when her body is found the secrets really start to come out ...
From the moment Lucy met her husband's mother, Diana, she was kept at arm's length. Diana was exquisitely polite, and perfectly friendly, but Lucy knew that she was not what Diana envisioned. Even so, 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.
Someone wanted Diana dead. And everyone in the family is hiding something.
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.

Critic Reviews
Clever, chilling and beautifully crafted (Adele Parks, bestselling author of)
I totally loved the book. The characters are so beautifully drawn and it was an emotional read, but I couldn't put it down (Heidi Parks, bestselling author of)
It's not often that such a gripping page-turner can be so moving (Sarah Naughton, bestselling author of)
The Mother-in-Law was absolutely wonderful! A real slow burn domestic mystery, which had me turning the pages faster and faster the deeper I delved into the story! Throughout the second half you couldn't tear me away from it and every new twist and turn was a slap to the face! Cleverly plotted and completely compelling (Nicola Moriarty, author of)
I read a lot of psychological suspense, and I can honestly say, this is one of my favourites. What I loved about it was its humanity and believablity. Sally demonstrates that you don't need outlandish situations and monstrous characters to write a thoroughly engrossing, suspenseful thriller, and her writing feels so effortless. I hope it does very well (Emma Curtis, bestselling author of)
Praise for Sally Hepworth
