About:
Your new husband has a shocking secret. Would your mother-in-law kill to protect it?
From the moment I meet my new mother-in-law in her beautiful country house, she makes it clear I’m not welcome. Lilian Fletcher hates me for marrying her precious boy on a golden beach far away from her.
Starting our marriage living in the Fletchers’ family home is a nightmare. Then I discover Seb was married before and his first wife is dead. I wonder why the man I love didn’t tell me the truth. And I wonder what happened to her: the woman who came before me. How did she die?
Lilian’s steely blue gaze follows me everywhere. Then the accidents start to happen, and I know she is behind them. It starts with small things, like a dropped birthday cake, a spilt glass of wine. But then my mother-in-law accuses me of something terrible. This woman is determined to get me out of her son’s life.
Now I wish I’d never met my handsome, clever husband. Or come to this luxurious house that feels more like a prison.
Review:
I found this an easy read and worked out quite early on what was going on with Caroline.
Shalini Boland writes with ease, putting the reader inside the book, it was easy to visualise the settings, the people and the events unfolding. It’s not an outstanding book but it is a gripping story with many predictable assumptions throughout. However that does not spoil the plot or the twist which only really comes to the fore in the epilogue. The Daughter in Law isn’t the one you think she is.
