I was unsure what I was getting myself into when I picked up this book. All seems idyllic when we meet our main character. Then enter the mother in law. This study on human emotion and character development was gripping and haunting. Not my typical pick in the suspense category; however, I felt the author wrote a compelling tale and one that is quite a study of human character. Interesting story. I look forward to reading more from this author.

The Mother-in-Law is a shocking psychological thriller by Judy Moore. It is a story that will astound, anger and impress you. Astound you in the way a sinister mind works. Anger you because of the audacity and evilness that lurked on top of the surface, but is completely looked over by some. Impress you with the intricately twisted and spellbinding way in which it is written.
A young woman does the seemingly innocent thing of falling in love. It should have been the best time of her life, and it started out so well, but then she met the Mother-in-Law. Harsh and cold, it wasn’t easy getting to know her, but our leading lady persevered and wanted to have a good, healthy relationship with her. But things did not add up, and no matter what our lady did, it was frowned upon. The leading man just wanted everyone happy, and sometimes just did what he needed to keep the peace. A thrilling read that frustrated me immensely, but kept me riveted to these words.
The Mother-in-Law was astonishingly and powerfully written. Many eye popping scenes that defied human compassion and feelings for man and family. It illustrates the ugly nature of a psychopath, and the lack of conscience these monsters display. A mind twisting suspenseful drama that had me glued to each word. 5 stars.

The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore is one heck of a read. All I can say is thank god I do not have a mother-in-law. The book is a suspense with lots of drama and a truly evil and vicious, mother-in-law that is a manipulating, conniving, lying witch. It was a bit slow in the beginning but quickly gained my attention as the story unfolded a few twists and turns along the way. You will either like or hate the characters or have a love/hate relationship with others.
The relationship Brad has with his mother was just weird, almost creepy and I so wanted, no needed, to slap some sense into him. Victoria on the other hand is one brave lady and I admired her will.
The ending was sad but intense and I was a little surprised with some and others I saw coming. All in all it was a quick and interesting read.

An interesting and fascinating story following a new marriage after a short relationship between two individuals who meet at a training event. Victoria is a focused and dedicated woman who marries Brad. With this marriage she becomes a step mom to Andy. After she moved in with Brad she discovers a secret. He still lives with his mother who has many hidden things. The Mother-In-Law was a fast paced story and I really enjoyed it. Madeline, the mother-in-law, was creepy from the get go. I loved Victoria’s character.

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.

After a whirlwind romance, a young woman from California makes a rash decision and marries a handsome Floridian after knowing him for only one month.
She gives up everything she knows to move cross country to live with her new husband, a widower, and his five-year-old son.
Everything seems idyllic until they arrive at her husband’s oceanfront home, and she meets her mother-in-law. There’s something strange about the woman and the mother/son relationship.

Murder in Vail by Judy Moore is one read where you just want to smack each and every character in the book especially where those are poor little rich kids who are rude and over privileged. It is a quick read that will leave you going wow, just wow, I never expected that!! It is a “who dunnit” story with a twist that you don’t in a million years see coming, that will have you guessing right up to the very end.
Murder in Vail is a murder mystery with greedy, self centred people showing their true colours. It is a quick and enjoyable read.

The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore is a great 5 star psychological book. The characters were all very well written and the story line was fantastic.
Brad and his mother were the most annoying characters. I hated how Brad let his mother slide on everything, thinking she was always right. Brad’s mother Madeline is a real piece of work. She is a terrible human being and so conniving and vindictive, but she adds so much to this story.
Victoria is sweet, I really liked her character and how after marrying Brad she jumped right in to the mother role with his son. I really enjoyed watching her figure out that her mother in law was a big pile of crazy and trying to piece all the secrets the family had together.
In the end, all the family’s secrets come out and I was surprised by some but not by some others. I hated that Andy, Brad’s son, could remember different things and basically helped Victoria put the final pieces together. I was on the fence about the ending, I was pleased but also kind of sad at the same time. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good psychological mystery. This is usually not my type of genre but after this book I am itching to read more like this.

The Mother-In-Law by Judy Moore is suspenseful romance story. This is my first book by this author and I fully enjoyed it. I enjoyed how her writing style was easy flowing and engaging. Her attention to details made me feel like I was right there with the characters. Her characters are both connectable and true to life. They took me on a few twists and turns that I didn’t see coming and had me on the edge of my seat a few times. This is the story as a man and woman who meet in Las Vegas. They get married after a short time and he moves her back to his house. What he doesn’t tell her is that he has a five year old son and he lives with his mother. There are secrets lurking and they may not be good. Relationships may not be as they seem, what will happen when all is exposed? There are things that he never told her, will she leave when she finds out? At first, I wasn’t quite sure what to think about these characters. You have a woman who marries a man and doesn’t know him. You have a man who doesn’t want to stand up for himself and is willing to be pushed around. Then you have the mother in law who is completely nasty and is out to get the woman. I enjoyed all of them because they made up the story and without these characters the story wouldn’t be the same. But I thought maybe there could be a little more to them then there was. Find out if this mother in law will finally get her new daughter in law out of her house or if the daughter in law will convince her husband to leave. I highly recommend this book as it has a little bit of everything in it. I found myself wanting to know what would happen next and you will find yourself the same way.
