About this listen
A twisty, compelling new audiobook about one woman's complicated relationship with her mother-in-law that ends in death....
From the moment Lucy met her husband's mother, she knew she wasn’t the wife Diana had envisioned for her perfect son. Exquisitely polite, friendly, and always generous, Diana nonetheless kept Lucy at arm’s length despite her desperate attempts to win her over. And as a pillar in the community, an advocate for female refugees, and a woman happily married for decades, no one had a bad word to say about Diana...except Lucy.
That was five years ago.
Now, Diana is dead, a suicide note found near her body claiming that she no longer wanted to live because of the cancer wreaking havoc inside her body.
But the autopsy finds no cancer. It does find traces of poison, and evidence of suffocation.
Who could possibly want Diana dead?
Why was her will changed at the 11th hour to disinherit both of her children and their spouses? And what does it mean that Lucy isn’t exactly sad she’s gone?
Fractured relationships and deep family secrets grow more compelling with every chapter in this twisty, captivating new audiobook from Sally Hepworth.

Loved it!
This was a fantastic novel by Sally Hepworth. As always, she writes about some pretty heavy topics but in an entertaining way. This book was kind of a mystery, mostly family drama, with a little humor as well. I enjoyed the development of most characters and it kept me guessing at times. A great listen!

A Light beach book
Someone who recommended this book loves it so much they couldn’t put it down. I found it pleasant but not very enticing. I kept on more for curiosity than interest but a good light beach book.

thought provoking
the relationships in this book are well thought out. Each female character has a voice and perspective that is relatable to the reader although not always with each other. a powerful reminder that what you don't say can become the greatest source of miscommunication. the narration was excellent.

Just enough drama to keep me hooked
I really enjoyed the story and the complexities that happen in relationships
between mother and daughter-in-laws. This book wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be,
but great reading none the less! Sally Hepworth does it again!

what just happened?
I can't believe the type of stories that actually get published! If this was not a audiobook I would have torn the book up 3 chapters in
