My review:
Caroline is the daughter~in~law
Lilian is the mother~in~law
Amy and Michelle are sisters
I, myself, have been a delightful DIL for many years, but I’m not sure if my loveliness would last long if we had to live in the same quarters together. You can just feel the tension between the MIL and DIL from the moment they were introduced. There were a bunch of twistaroos I didn’t see coming and the ending was excellent ~ whoop whoop. Although it took a bit for the Amy and Michelle connection to come out in the story I was quite pleased with their involvement in the plot and how it all played out.
My 4th Shalini book and favorite by far.
Katie Villa is our narrator for 7 hours and 42 minutes, easy to follow at 2x. While I do not have any complaints with her narrating skills, I wouldn’t have minded at least 2 narrators for two different aged women.

Save on The Daughter In Law at Booksamillion.com.Book blurb:
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. 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.
But I have secrets too. And no-one knows who I really am…
