The Sister In Law by Sue Watson-psychological thriller
“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, thinking about it, maybe it’s time to
start being nice to me?’
OMG!!This is one of those reads that quickly grabs you and a character you love to hate!
Clare and Dan are on holiday with their three small children and Dan’s parents. Dan and
his parents Joy and Bob run a small building company and they are retiring and handing
over their part to son Jamie who is to arrive at the villa a day or so after the others.
When he does arrive he has a wife in tow- Ella. Something no one knew anything
about. From the outset Ella appears to dislike Clare and constantly puts her down.
Things like describing her nursing career as “just making beds for a living”. She also
appears to think that the family own the villa and that Jamie is loaded, Clare hence
thinks she may not love Jamie as much as he thinks and is only there for the glamour
and money. Ella appears to know a secret about Clare from her past and is determined
to get on the good side of Joy, her mother in law whilst at the same time put Clare
well and truly in the shade.
I really enjoyed this and couldn't put it down- just my sort of read. That slight anxiety
(I kept telling myself “it’s fiction”) of a character in whom I saw some of others I have
met- thankfully now in the past. It is so well written it came across as very believable.
A clever plot with a twist(of course) that I thought worked really well. I very much
look forward to he next read from this truly brilliant author

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.
