The Sister-in-Law
Ratings1
Average rating5
From the USA Today bestselling author of Little Deadly Secrets comes a gripping story about the frailty of family and a battle of wills between a wife and a sister-in-law, bent on revenge. She stole my husband. So I'd steal her life. The Wife Lane won Candace's heart over chocolate martinis and karaoke. But weeks into their whirlwind marriage, Candace realized Lane came with burdensome baggage in the form of his possessive live-in sister and her eerily watchful six-year-old son. Lane had a secret that seemed to hold him hostage, and Candace would do anything to uncover it. The Sister-in-Law Harper was the kind of woman who cooked homemade meals and dusted under the furniture. It was the least she could do for her brother after her husband's mysterious death, and Lane took her and her kids in. Then Candace showed up like a tornado passing through, threatening and destructive. But Harper had other plans for her new "sister," plans Lane could never find out about. The Husband All Lane had ever wanted was a white-picket-fence life. The wife. The two-point-five kids. The happy little family. Everything seemed to be falling into place with Candace ... until Harper's jealous streak got in the way, again. But choosing between his sister and wife would be costly ... and knowing Harper, the price would be blood.

Wow, talk about not seeing that one coming! I wasn't sure who I was rooting for throughout this book and then suddenly it took an unexpected twist!
Harper is mourning the loss of her husband, Ben, along with everything she thought she knew about him while trying to keep it together for the sake of her kids. She is not a fan of her brother, Lane's new wife, Candace, so when she ends up staying at Ben's while sorting out what to do next, the uncomfortable moments are a bit unavoidable. Candace has a past she isn't talking about, one that seems to be creeping up on her, and Harper is not going to stand by and let anyone hurt her brother if she can help it. A whirlwind marriage, having only met a few months ago, Harper is less than thrilled at the news of their marriage, but Candance isn't going to let her step in and ruin the new life she is creating for herself with Lane. Suddenly it seems like both women are vying for Lane's attention and for him to take her side. Two new sisters-in-law and they couldn't be more the opposite of each other. And to top it off, both of them are hiding something big.
As with all of Pamela's books, I couldn't put it down once I started and was drawn in further with every chapter. I loved the alternating chapters between Lane, Harper, and Candace - hearing each person tell their side of the story made it that much easier to follow and was the perfect opportunity for hints to be dropped throughout. Ones that kept me guessing along the way and to my surprise, I was still blindsided when the truth came out!
A fabulously twisty, must-read thriller, full of family secrets, lies, and murder...
