The Mother-in-Law

5 out of 5 stars
The story The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore is a book that I loved reading. It is suspenseful and had times when I was turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. I got hooked into the story early on and didn’t want to put it down until I had finished reading it. I enjoyed reading about the main character and how she is so happy when she marries. She is looking forward to the future. Then she meets her mother-in-law. From there she goes through many different emotions as she works to adapt and start her new life. This character is one that I could have empathy for as she starts to become overwhelmed and she begins to uncover secrets about her new family. She has doubts and suspicions. The mother-in-law in this story is harsh with her speech and makes life uncomfortable for those around her. This is a story that had me on the edge of my seat. There is intense dialogue and situations. If you are looking for a thrilling book to read, look no further.
