Author Mary Bradford introduces us to My Husband’s Sin: In the weeks following Lillian Taylor’s burial, her four loving adult children assemble for the reading of her will. For the grieving youngest sibling, Lacey, life is about to come crashing down as a deep secret is revealed. The fall-out affects every member and they struggle to regain the happy family unit they once shared. Each of the siblings, take the reader on a journey as they try to come to terms and learn to handle this huge revelation. Mary has certainly honed her writing craft with short stories, because this, her debut novel, shows a mastery of plot, rich characters and many levels of conflict! The characters really come alive drawing you into the narrative, dialog and action. She maintains control over every aspect of the story while the characters twist and turn in the wind. She has many nice touches of detail that make the scenes very realistic with food, clothing and scene décor. She handles POV deftly and never indulges in head hopping! The setting in Ireland is incidental, this story could be told from any town and any street. I give this book 4.9 stars of 5! I have it on good authority that a sequel is in progress.
