The
Mother-in-Law by Sally Hepsworth
Just
about everybody in this mystery has at least one thing they’re hiding, and you really can't believe anything that they say (the ever-popular unreliable narrator). Lucy Goodwin has been married to Oliver Goodwin for about ten years. She never really hit it off with her mother-in-law, Diana (although she did hit Diana once!), and everyone in the family knows it. Otherwise, Diana is universally loved and admired, so when she is found dead under suspicious circumstances, the spotlight immediately finds Lucy.
Interesting characters and a fast-moving plot kept me turning the pages on this one. It was a refreshing change from all of the "Girl" and "Perfect" books that have been published recently (Gone Girl, Girl on the Train, Good Girl, Perfect Nanny, Perfect Wife, Perfect Mother, etc.). I highly recommend it for vacation or the beach, or just on the patio with a glass of wine.
