The Wife Who Knew Too Much is the second book I’ve read of Michele Campbell’s and i found it to be quite enjoyable. I was hooked in quite early and finished this in under 24 hours. There were a bunch of twists and turns that I didn’t find particularly predictable (hard to do these days) and I liked that the ending wasn’t too feel good or wrapped up. 4 stars.

Buddy read this one with Kate!

Thank you to author, St. Martin’s Press, and NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

After a marriage early in their relationship, Tabitha begins to suspect that her husband Connor might not actually be innocent in the death of his previous. What was ruled as a suicide might have been murder.

Michele Campbell’s novels have been hit or miss for me, but this one was a hit. The characters were well developed and the plot line kept me on my toes.

Wow, this one started off with a bang, and then devolved from there. I did not like Tabitha from the beginning, so that really detracted from my reading experience. I felt like I wanted more depth and details. I know it’s backlist and loved, though, so I’m moving on.

This is a good quick read. Something you can read over the weekend. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary from other books in this genre, but pick it up, you'll like it.

Pick your storyline. Rich older woman has hot young husband or teenage lovers reunite hot and heavy. I wanted to enjoy this more than I did, but it was really just a read and get it over with. It seemed pretty straightforward and I normally enjoy the author's books more.

I read this book in one sitting which means I loved it.
This book really makes you question if you were a widow with a huge amount of money you would be super careful of any man befriending me.
I did guess the killer from the beginning but this didn't take away my enjoyment.
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in return for an honest review.

3.5 stars. This was a decent fast-paced thriller. The writing was kind of jumpy at times, like it just jumped from one thing to another in very short time. I feel like suspicion was put on WAY too many people throughout the book...I mean, I get it’s supposed to be suspenseful, but it was just a bit much. And, the relationship between Tabitha and Conner was just kind of weird and rushed. Overall it was decent, but not very plausible.

DNF - Did not finish. I did not connect with the writing style or plot and will not be finishing this title. Thank you, NetGalley and Publisher for the early copy!

It was a typical popcorn thriller. I enjoyed reading it but it wasn't memorable. Thank you for the chance to read.

I got so much more from this book than I thought when I originally went into it. Michele Campbell is a fantastic writer! The way she weaved this story deeper and deeper and more interesting with every turn of the page, wow, just wow! The mystery surrounding the death of Nina, is so deep and twisted, that this book will keep you turning the pages until you finish. I finished this in one sitting, there was absolutely no way I was going back to adulting once I settled into this story. It grabbed me from page one and I was hooked. Conner, well you know there is just something wrong with him and all his stories, but he's one of those characters that you just cannot put your finger on what irks you.
Then of course this is that setting of the mansion in the Hamptons and the almost gothic feel of the story Rebecca that comes into play between Tabitha and Nina's assistant.
I dont want to spoil anything but I will say pick this up now!! Just be warned, once you start you cannot stop!

Similar to other new thrillers I've read, it was just ok. It was a quick read that held my attention, but I could have done without it.

Fast, quickly paced, and easy to read thriller. It kept me up late at night and on the edge of my seat! Perfect beach read.

The Wife Who Knew Too Much is a slow-burn, whodunit mystery. I had such high hopes for this book. Surprisingly, not too many crime novels begin with a letter stating my husband should be the prime suspect if I'm found dead, I was intrigued from the beginning because of this, but the plot moves so slowly, with the story only picking up around the 75% mark, it was difficult to stay invested in the characters and their motivations. If you're looking for a fast-paced, unputdownable thriller, this isn't the book for you. If you're looking for a descriptive, character-driven mystery, give this one a try.

Michelle Campbell rocks the book world. The Wife Who Knew Too Much was highly anticipated and lived up to the hype. Highly recommend.

I listened to this on audio and thoroughly enjoyed it! I did not see the twist coming though had a feeling I knew who the murderer was. I think this book ended well and no loose ends were left. What a good thriller!!!

Really great thriller and probably one of my favorite domestic thrillers I’ve ever read! I always enjoy a book that has a lingering secret that no one else presumably knows and found the family drama interesting.

This book was so riveting! You didn't know what happened until the end. Really enjoyed getting to know Connor and Tabitha. Michele Campbell always writes great thrillers.

I really enjoyed this twisty thriller love story by Michele Campbell. I wasn't sure what was going to happen until I got to the end, and the ending was worth the wait.

RATING: 3.5 STARS
2020; St. Martin's Press

Weirdly, for me, I din't enjoy the story too much, but felt some investment in the characters. It was like watching a bad reality show. You keep watching it, even though afterwards you are like, "what did I just watch?" lol. I honestly did not know what to rate this one. I went with 3.5 stars rounded up to four, because Campbell kept me reading. And, until I finished I was wanting to know what happened next. This is like any other domestic suspense novel. You won't be missing anything by not reading it.

This was an addictive thriller! I loved the beginning - it hooked me right away! I did find a few parts predictable but overall it was great. It’s been sitting on my netgalley shelf for way too long. I will definitely read others by this author. Thanks to Netgalley for an ARC.
