Book Review of The Sister-in-Law

The Sister-in-Law
reviewed on + 3110 more book reviews


Huge disappointment!
SPOILERS?
1. Lane (brother) Harper (sister)
2. Candace (new wife, sister-in-law)
3. Elise (bratty daughter of Harper), Jackson (sees dead people?)

These are the main characters and as you read you won't like any of them!

1. Harper finds her husband dead with a knife sticking in him, she calls her brother and they make it look like a robbery so she can collect insurance
2. Months pass and Harper and her two kids move in with Lane and new wife while waiting for investigation to be over on how her husband was killed
3. instant clash between Candace/Harper
4. secrets keep popping up

This is a long drawn out sloooooooooow, draaaaaaaaaaggy story that at times it is just duuuuuull and borrrrrring!

I managed to get to the halfway point but it was a struggle, Crane inserted so much in italics (peeve of mine) and so much information that I kept saying 'what does this have to do with anything?'
I'm a very picky reader and I have to be consumed by the halfway point or 100 pages and this one did not do it!
I didn't like any of the characters and the story was dumb!
