The In-Laws

 


The In-Laws by Laura Wolfe-  psychological thriller

Oh wow! One stunner of a read- sit down and hold on for the ride! Abigail and her fiance Pete have taken their parents on a three night trip into the wilderness, camping. The idea is to bond the parents as the one time they met before didn't go too well. The parents are worlds apart but should have the couples best interests at heart, right? Pete isn't that close to his folks, as they doted on his younger brother Trent who has various issues so Pete has grown up rather independently. Over the campfire and walks, more comes out about each of them and Abigail herself is holding a rather large secret. Can they all survive both the knowledge and the trip?

OMG! I turned and I turned and I turned some more. Laura has brilliantly built a wonderful tension between the pages and a very well thought out carefully crafted plot which had me reeling along the way. The characters are well rounded (or not in some cases- read it and you’ll see what I mean!) and come across very well. I quite liked Abigail, despite everything she went through, there was a tenacious and caring person hiding underneath longing for stability as was Pete but also a very determined young woman.

One I really didn't want to put down. If you enjoy thrilling reads then this could just be your next book.  One belter of a read and tension that needed a knife!

About the Book: 

I peered over the ledge with my heart in my throat. A pop of color caught my eye – I would recognize that jacket anywhere. The body I knew so well lay still, torso twisted one way, head facing the other…

I’d planned this trip to the gorgeous, remote Michigan woodlands as a last-ditch attempt to help Pete and our families’ bond before the wedding of our dreams. Instead, it has turned into a nightmare that I can’t seem to wake up from. Anger, resentment, and heated arguments weren’t at all what Pete and I had imagined, even less so the horror of discovering a dead body…

Looking around the campsite at my terrified family and future in-laws, I realize that someone on this trip has been keeping secrets from me. What could be dangerous enough to kill for? But then again, I also have secrets of my own, something that if known, could be deadly. The only thing I know for certain is that the murderer is ruthless enough to do anything to keep their story hidden.

Who will be next to pay the ultimate price?


An utterly gripping psychological thriller that will keep you up all night. Perfect for fans of The Couple Next Door, The Woman in the Window and Behind Closed Doors.
