The Mother-in-Law A Novel

From the moment Lucy met her husband's mother, Diana, she was kept at arm's length. Diana was exquisitely polite and a pillar of the community, but Lucy knew she was not the wife Diana had envisioned for her son. Ten years later, Diana is found dead in her home. A suicide note is discovered, claiming she was battling cancer and no longer wanted to live. However, the autopsy reveals no cancer, but does find traces of poison and evidence of suffocation. What was initially considered a suicide becomes a murder investigation. As the police look into the wealthy Goodwin family, secrets and motives unravel. The narrative alternates between Lucy and Diana's perspectives across two timelines, revealing a complex web of family drama, fractured relationships, and the mystery of who wanted the matriarch dead, especially after her will was changed to disinherit her children and their spouses.
