Review of The Wife Who Knew Too Much by Michele Campbell

I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

From Michele Campbell, the bestselling author of It's Always the Husband comes a new blockbuster thriller in The Wife Who Knew Too Much.

Tabitha Girard had her heart broken years ago by Connor Ford. He was preppy and handsome. She was a pool girl at his country club. Their affair should have been a summer fling. But it meant everything to Tabitha.

Years later, Connor comes back into Tabitha's life—older, richer, and desperately unhappy. He married for money, a wealthy, neurotic, controlling woman whom he never loved. He has always loved Tabitha.

When Connor’s wife Nina takes her own life, he’s free. He can finally be with Tabitha. Nina’s home, Windswept, can be theirs. It seems to be a perfect ending to a fairy tale romance that began so many years ago. But then, Tabitha finds a diary. "I’m writing this to raise an alarm in the event of my untimely death," it begins. “If I die unexpectedly, it was foul play, and Connor was behind it. Connor—and her.”

Who is Connor Ford? Why did he marry Nina? Is Tabitha his true love, or a convenient affair? As the police investigate Nina’s death, is she a convenient suspect?

As Tabitha is drawn deeper into the dark glamour of a life she is ill-prepared for, it becomes clear to her that what a wife knows can kill her.

My Review:

5 Stars

I love a good domestic thriller. This particular one gave me a run for my money. Usually I can untwist most of the story by the end after following the clues that the author leaves. The Wife Who Knew Too Much left me still grasping right up until the end. 

Tabitha has never gotten over her first true love, Connor. So when he comes back into her life unexpectedly she's more than happy to put any lingering questions at bay. She knows its complicated between them, but Tabitha is hoping that this time she'll be able to keep the only man she's truly loved. 

One night changes everything. Connor's wife is found dead after a party that she hosted. Connor is now under suspicion and by extension Tabitha herself. Not knowing where the truth lies in the new world she was thrust into, Tabitha needs to learn quickly who to trust and who to be wary of. 

A great beach or weekend read. You'll have a hard time putting this one down.
