The Sister-in-Law: A Novel

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.

“Little Deadly Secrets has one of the most chilling opening scenes I’ve ever read, and the tension keeps right on building. My advice: don’t read this book...unless you’re prepared not to put it down until you’re finished!”  - New York Times Bestselling Author Wendy Corsi Staub

“Crane succeeds at painting families and friendships in vivid detail; women will see their tussles and triumphs in these pages, and will relish the twists and moments of brave camaraderie and bold revenge... A satisfying read that has echoes of Liane Moriarty and of Emily Giffin’s All We Ever Wanted.”  - Booklist on Little Deadly Secrets

“Pamela Crane’s anthem to female friendship and the empowerment of women proves one thing. Friends will do anything for each other...including lie, cheat in bed, and kill. Crane’s deft treatment of this theme makes the besties in Little Deadly Secrets friends you’d want as your own...despite the fizzy cocktail of secrecy, betrayal, and deception they pour on every page. This novel is a read for our tumultuous times.”  - Jenny Milchman, Mary Higgins Clark award–winning author of Cover of Snow and The Second Mother

“I loved it!  It’s so well written, with sharply observed characters and the kind of fast-paced, twisty plot that keeps you turning the pages.”  - Sunday Times and international bestselling author Debbie Howells on Little Deadly Secrets

“I was blown away. If you loved Big Little Lies, you’ll love this!”  - NetGalley Review on Little Deadly Secrets
