From the moment Lucy met Diana, she was kept at arm's length. Diana is exquisitely polite, but Lucy knows, even after marrying Oliver, that they'll never have the closeness she'd been hoping for.
But who could fault Diana? She was a pillar of the community, an advocate for social justice, the matriarch of a loving family. Lucy had wanted so much to please her new mother-in-law.
That was ten years ago. Now, Diana has been found dead, leaving a suicide note. But the autopsy reveals evidence of suffocation. And everyone in the family is hiding something...
From the bestselling author of The Family Next Door comes a new page-turner about that trickiest of relationships.
The first time that Lucy met her future mother-in-law her high hopes of a close bond were dashed. Lucy had lost her own mom to cancer, and longed for a motherly figure to fill that void.
Through a series of missteps, miscommunications and unspoken words, Lucy and Diana built an invisible wall between themselves. Now Diana is dead of an apparent suicide and a delicate spider web of secrets is about to be swept away.
I think anyone who enjoys a good mystery is a perfect fit for this book, but more than that, anyone who has a Mother-in-Law or is one herself may see fragments of themselves in the relationship between Diana and Lucy.
I received an advance copy for review.
