The Mother-in-Law by Sally Hepworth
4.0
An effective amalgam of domestic suspense and relationship drama, this makes a superb choice for book groups in need of a story with momentum (many participants gulped down in a day or two) that still offers juicy topics for discussion. Personally, I found it extremely successful as a study of dynamics in which individuals who hold divergent perspectives make understandable but erroneous presumptions of others' motives.
audiobook note: Barrie Kreinik is delightful as the embodiment of both Lucy and Diana. Some of the group complained that the author didn't differentiate enough between the narrative voices, but Kreinik's choices in distinct performances more than compensate.
