The Sister In Law by Sue Watson
‘You don’t think Jamie and I have secrets, do you? No, we tell each other everything.’ She smiled. ‘Including your dirty little secret. So maybe it’s time to start being nice to me?’
THE WIFE: Clare is ready for a break. It’s been a tough year and now she wants to put her feet up. Arriving at the Italian villa for their summer holiday, she decides it’s high time her husband and his family did some of the work. After all, her husband owes her…
THE HUSBAND: Even though Dan had his head turned by someone else, he’s realised the error of his ways. He’s here now, and he says it’s for keeps. Clare can trust him, can’t she? At least he’ll have his brother there, to keep him in line…
THE BROTHER: Jamie is the prodigal child, back in the family fold again after years of travelling abroad. But when he gets to the villa, he’s not alone. He’s brought a wife, someone none of them have met before.
THE SISTER-IN-LAW: Ella is everything Clare isn’t. Glamorous. Young. Influential. But she knows a secret about Clare. Something that has the power to break the whole family apart.
And there’s someone who will do whatever it takes to make sure that this deep secret never comes to the surface.
An utterly unputdownable, gripping, twisty psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Before I Go To Sleep, The Girl on the Train and Date Night.
Author Bio:
Sue Watson was a TV Producer at the BBC until she wrote her first book and was hooked.
Now a USA Today bestselling author, Sue has written fifteen novels - many involving cake - which have been translated into several languages and involved tough 'cake research.' Sue is now exploring the darker side of life with her thrillers OUR LITTLE LIES, THE WOMAN NEXT DOOR, THE EMPTY NEST and THE SISTER-IN-LAW. Writing in this new genre doesn't involve the deep research of baked goods and Sue's hoping the change in direction will be reflected on the weighing scales.
Originally from Manchester, Sue now lives with her husband and teenage daughter in Worcestershire where much of her day is spent writing - okay, procrastinating, eating and watching 'My 600lb Life,' on the sofa.

Review
This was a compelling psychological thriller set in the sizzling Italian heat. It was an attention grabbing book and I was able to picture myself sunning by the pool!
I really enjoyed the premise of a family holiday, looking forward to it and then boom it’s all changed. Her brother-in-law turns up with a new wife that nobody has met and life is changed for everyone that day.
The family dynamic worked really well. Supportive but slightly over bearing MIL, FIL who stays out the way, husband who has strayed and a prodigal brother who always get a heroes welcome. I think the success of this book is everyone can see a little bit of their family in the characterisation.
This attractive, selfie insta girl with the perfect pert bottom and sly remarks and actions would intimidate anyone! But imagine her knowing your worst secret. I enjoyed the story - there were quite a few twists and turns and I totally didn’t figure out the ending. I love a book that beats me in that way!
The Sister In Law is a book that transports you to the sun, has a riveting storyline, believable characters and the ability to shock! You better pick it up and realise all the hype behind this book is true. Now I’m off back to my imaginary pool.
