About this listen
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Sister and The Family Next Door.
Everyone in this family is hiding something.
You may get to choose your partner, but you don't get to choose your mother-in-law.
From the moment Lucy met Diana, she was kept at arm's length. Even after marrying Oliver, Lucy knew they'd never be close.
But who could fault Diana? A pillar of the community, an advocate for social justice, the matriarch of a loving family.
That was ten years ago. Now, Diana has been found dead. There is a suicide note, but the autopsy reveals foul play. And everyone in this family is hiding something . . .
A thrilling story about that trickiest of relationships.

Kept me hooked
Loved it. It isn't as much of a psychological thriller as I thought it would be. But I loved where it went. Quite emotional at times and I loved the slow-growing relationship between the main character and the mother-in-law. The 'who done it' was obvious to me from the start but it usually is. So that's nothing against the author. Besides, I don't think the mystery was the highlight of the book. It was the relationships and I really enjoyed it.

Loved everything about this book
The story was excellent quite a few twists very honest and confronting and I actually quite like the way it went back-and-forth because it didn’t lose you. I’ve listened to many books with this narrator and I will look and see if she is narrating and be drawn to a book because of her voice. It is just perfect for these stories.

Well drawn characters
Sally Hepworth has a gift in observing the subtle nuances of family relationships and everyday life challenges then developing clever plots around them. I’ve only just discovered her and read two books back to back, will now go for a third! Entertaining.

10/10
I loved it. A great story by Sally Hepworth and the narrator tells it brilliantly. One of those books you want to finish…but you don’t! I’m kinda sad it’s done!!
