Trade Review
Clever, chilling and beautifully crafted -- Adele Parks, bestselling author of * I Invited Her In *
I totally loved the book. The characters are so beautifully drawn and it was an emotional read, but I couldn't put it down -- Heidi Parks, bestselling author of * Now You See Her *
It's not often that such a gripping page-turner can be so moving -- Sarah Naughton, bestselling author of * The Other Couple *
The Mother-in-Law was absolutely wonderful! A real slow burn domestic mystery, which had me turning the pages faster and faster the deeper I delved into the story! Throughout the second half you couldn't tear me away from it and every new twist and turn was a slap to the face! Cleverly plotted and completely compelling -- Nicola Moriarty, author of * The Fifth letter *
I read a lot of psychological suspense, and I can honestly say, this is one of my favourites. What I loved about it was its humanity and believablity. Sally demonstrates that you don't need outlandish situations and monstrous characters to write a thoroughly engrossing, suspenseful thriller, and her writing feels so effortless. I hope it does very well -- Emma Curtis, bestselling author of * One Little Mistake *
Praise for Sally Hepworth * - *
Women's fiction at its finest -- Liane Moriarty, Number One bestselling author of * Big Little Lies *
Reminds us of Big Little Lies and is just as gripping * Good Housekeeping *
A compelling read that touches on important themes, not least the different forms that love may take -- Number One bestselling author of * The Rosie Project *
