The Son-in-Law

This title contains strong language and mature themes, including references to sexual violence, abuse of minors and animals, and suicide, that some listeners may find upsetting. Discretion is advised.

I just met my new son-in-law . . . And he’s my ex-husband.

They’re here. I watch them arrive from the kitchen window. My pregnant daughter and her new husband. They’ve barely known each other six months.

I greet him with a tight smile that he recognizes as fake.

Luke is no good for my beautiful, fragile Cerys. He’ll break her heart. I know that because he broke mine — when he was married to me.

I don’t know what he’s after. But I’m going to make it my business to find out.

Don’t underestimate me. I’ll do anything to keep my daughter safe.

Annoying

Cerys was the most irritating I hate to say stupid character I have ever read. I stopped listening multiple times but only came back because I wanted to know the end.

Characters are very well defined— very visual.

There was a lot of time spent on things that just happen if you’re a landowner or a farm owner and you have to take care of them; nothing salient to moving the story forward at all.

eh

I like the author's plot twists, but she made the daughter too dumb to be believable. I almost quit the book bc of that.

Amazing

What a good book. Amazing storyline. I wouldn’t have been so protective of my daughter after she married my ex husband though.

The daughter is awful!!

The narrators did well, but oh my God this daughter is awful, entitled and needs a wake up call in the beginning of the book. Getting with your mom’s ex, regardless if you didn’t know right away. When you found out a break up should have ensued. Weird plot, but ok enough to listen to through the end.
