I couldn't NOT read this. I mean this is some American stuff but it takes place on an idyllic UK farm. Beth is both widowed and divorced. Her last husband never met her young adult daughter. The daughter did not want to meet the man who "replaced" daddy.

Cerys is the daughter and she's met the man now. Has she ever! She's married to him and pregnant with his baby. And he is unemployed so they've moved back to Mam's farm to stay with her.
OMG can you even imagine. No man has ever had the audacity of this guy, He is 50 and unemployed!

I couldn't put this down. Is it a good book? I don't know. I will tell you that I couldn't look away. This was a train wreck and I was staring it at.
I was cringing so hard each time we got the daughter's perspective. She is so naive and ridiculous and young!
And beth can't just be like "no you can't live here!" which I say regularly to my daughter when she wants to bring a boyfriend to live in my house. She just keeps giving in! It is insane.

Literally you have to read this. It is awful and wonderful and SO full of drama.

As someone else said in this book.....what a family! I'm sorry but this was just beyond ridiculous. The daughter marries her mothers ex husband, becomes pregnant and then they all move into the mothers house? None of the characters were likeable. Lots of secrets which for me became quite obvious. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy but sadly this was not for me.

Oh this book was just too much for me and I DNF. A daughter married to her mother’s ex-husband and they are all living in the same house.

This book is definitely full of mystery and suspense that did keep me hooked. Definitely recommended it.

The Son-In-Law is a domestic thriller that didn't always hold my attention.

When a woman's daughter comes home, pregnant and with a new husband in tow - things go instantly awry as he is the woman's ex-husband.

The woman is willing to do anything to keep her daughter safe and must investigate the reason (s) that he is back in their lives. What does he want? What are his intentions?

I wasn't enamored with the characters - I didn't feel they were as fully developed as I like in a mystery. However, the plot is clever and the book is worth a read.

This was a great book with twists and turns that had me wanting to keep reading, I really enjoyed it.

A good read and I enjoyed the storyline, had me gripped throughout with interesting characters, a thoroughly good twisty read.

Thank you to Netgalley and Joffe Books for this ARC which I would recommend.
