The Wife Who Knew Too Much starts with ultra wealthy Nina writing a letter saying that if she is found dead, that it was her husband who killed her. Connor is about twenty years younger than Nina, they've only been married a couple of years, their courtship could be measured in weeks/months, and yes, he was dazzled by her wealth and once he got to experience it, he didn't want to give it up. But, did he kill her?
Tabitha had a summer romance with Connor when she was seventeen and he was nineteen, until Connor's well to do grandmother made him stop stop seeing Tabitha. They haven't seen each other in twenty years but then he walks into the restaurant where Tabitha is a waitress and he wants to continue where they left off, despite the fact that he is married to Nina. After asking Tabitha to wait for him, Connor practically ghosts her, once he has to go home to Nina. Then Nina ends up dead, in a suspected suicide. Or was it suicide?
Against anyone's better judgement, Connor and Tabitha quickly marry and Tabitha learns that maybe the hardworking, never enough money, waitressing life was a much better deal than the life she has just entered into. Despite the riches, the glamor, the mansion, cars, helicopters, all the trappings of wealth, Tabitha realizes her life really may blow up in a very bad way, as she begins to doubt her husband's innocence in the death of Nina. She's trapped and she doesn't know who she can trust.
This is a very quick read and there are a yacht load of people who'd like to bring down Connor and Tabitha. Rich does not look like a good thing in this book, with all the back stabbing, hating, jealous people surrounding the couple. Among all this animosity, could Connor be Tabitha's worst enemy?
Thank you to St Martin's Press and NetGalley for this ARC.

This book kept me completely engrossed and on the edge of my seat the entire time. I did not want to put it down. Loved the storyline and the writing.

Some books you read, you just know they’ll be good. That’s because they’re authored by extremely talented writers. Michele Campbell is that author.
Thank you to Michele, St Martins Press and NetGalley for this really intoxicating read. I started and I just couldn’t put it down!
Who killed millionaire, Nina? It’s always the husband right? Or could there be more ulterior motives? An old girlfriend perhaps? After all, a woman never forgets her first love, especially if they’re broken apart by other people and still hold a candle for one another.
This fast reading novel comes out on July 28, so grab it when you can because it’s a must read!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Let me start by saying, I loved this story...But hated the main characters, Connor was a selfish greedy money hungry man and Tabitha was a naive middle aged women who couldn't see what was happening because of her "love" for Connor, until she did see! Thats when this story soared! Everything about The Wife Who Knew Too Much was captivating right from the beginning. I had to read the whole story in one sitting because it kept my heart beating and my mined racing with all the twists and turns it was taking. The plot just kept getting better and better with each chapter. This was the first book I have read by Michele Campbell, but it will not be my last. Her writing is exquisite and her story telling is intriguing. Cant wait to read more of her books.

Thank you netgalley for this ARC! This book kept me engaged throughout and I'm glad I read it! I'm not sure how I feel about the ending but the suspense throughout was great. I appreciated the different view points and didn't know who to side with and support in the novel. I'd be interested in reading more by this author.

Wow, I couldn’t put this one down. After reading the synopsis I knew I was going to be hooked. It was a page turner from the beginning & all of the characters sucked me in. The author keeps your attention & you can’t stop reading because you have to know how everything plays out. So many twists I didn’t see coming & I loved The author’s writing, this was my first book to read by her & she didn’t disappoint. I was captivated from page 1 all the way until the end. I didn’t want it to end, best thriller I’ve read in a while!
Thank you to netgalley, St. Martin's Press & The author for providing me a copy of this book for an honest review.

The thriller is just that, a thrill-a-minute one that I read in about two sittings. I just kept flipping pages starting with the wonderful diary entry from Nina that sets everything up. This one made me glad that I am not a widow with a huge fortune and cautious about every man who befriends me. Does he really love me, or does he just want my money?
Part of the book covers the summer romance of Tabitha, a worker at the local club, and Connor, a member of the club and from one of the wealthy families in town. The two have a fabulous summer, but of course, the truth comes out about the relationship and it is not pretty for Tabitha or her grandma who also works at the club. Connor disappears from her life for years, until one fateful day when he walks into the restaurant where she now works.
It was fun to read about how the rich live but having all that money does not always make you a happy fulfilled person! The first 75% of the book was enthralling, but the ending was a bit convoluted and maybe not that realistic . . .. not a perfect read, but still enjoyable and a good read!

Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for an advanced copy of The Wife Who Knew Too Much by Michele Campbell.
Nina's first husband, Edward Levitt, was one of the wealthiest men in the world. People used to say she was a gold digger. Unfortunately, Edward passed away and left Nina extremely well off. Now she writes in her diary on July 4th that if an event of her untimely death, her second husband, Connor, is planning her death for obvious reasons. He's in love with someone else and wants her money.
Who does she think hes in love with? Can Nina prove he is seeing someone else? The author pulls you into this book on page one!. Another page turner!!

Holy roller coaster!!! Michele Campbell sure knows how to keep a reader enthralled from the very first page right through the very last!
There were a couple of jaw droppers and a very satisfying ending!
I really like how she wrote her characters to be relatable and real, flawed people. (Even the evil ones...)
Thanks so much to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for allowing me the privilege of reading this ARC! I will definitely be recommending it to my friends!

First, a huge thank you to NetGalley for sharing the book in exchange for an honest review. As for my thoughts on the book, I'm definitely in the minority here as I was not particularly impressed with the book. It does make for an easy beach read, so it's publication shall time nicely with the season. However, while I'm not one to shy away from the suspension of belief (it's one of the reasons for reading fiction, right?) the characters drove me bonkers and while I would've liked to know more about Nina, I found Tabitha to be more pathetic than empathetic and Connor to cookie-cutter shallow pretty boy. For me, the idea was there, but the pow factor I prefer in a psychological thriller.

The Wife Who Knew Too Much is such an easy read. “Tabby” had a summer fling with Connor in high school and was the one who got away. She still thought about their time together and the memories of their young love. Connors family was different; his grandmother very wealthy and Tabby’s barely made ends meet. Having different backgrounds caused them to lose touch and move on.
Fast forward years later and Connor comes into the dinner Tabby works at. They rekindle and it almost feels like fate. The only problem is that Connor is a married man and in the eye of the public. When Connors wife turns up dead, things take a turn and Tabby becomes a suspect.
I really like REALLY liked this book right from the beginning. Once things turned and I was halfway through it I almost felt a drag though. The twist was a little predictable but I didn’t completely guess what was next.
Overall, I enjoyed this read and recommend it to others! Thank you St Martins Press, NetGalley and the author for the ARC.

OMGosh, I am so sad this book ended, this was one of the best books I’ve ever read. Soooo many twists and turns, the definition of a psychological thriller book. You felt for the characters and you never knew who was speaking the truth. I just absolutely loved every part of it. Thank you Net Galley and St. Martins Press for an early copy.

I really enjoyed this book. I look forward to reading more from this author. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

I loved everything about this book!
Kept my interest to the very end.
A real page turner. Do yourself a favor and read this book., you will not be disappointed

This book had all of the elements to make a good mystery: a mansion, money, fame, staff in the home, multiple spouses, an affair, and of course - death. As a teenager, Tabitha fell in love with Connor. A forbidden love, due to his family's power and a history between their grandparents. After many years and a divorce, their paths cross again. Tabitha had spent years seeing Connor and his wife - beautiful, elegant, and wealthy - in the tabloids. Now, Conner is sitting in her section at the restaurant where she works. The two spiral into an affair, but what happens when Connor's wife is found dead and her diary eludes to the fact that he may be to blame?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I was hooked from the first chapter. I enjoyed how it was told from the perspectives of Connor's wives, as well as through diary entries. Just as I thought that I had an idea of who was responsible, there were more twists to keep me guessing. I was completely shocked by the details that surfaced. I was a bit disappointed in the last chapter, but there was enough closure to satisfy me. I recommend to anyone looking for a captivating thriller.

WOW, what a story! I had to fight the urge to continue sitting and reading and not doing the things I needed to be doing. It's that good! I was hooked from page one and never, ever disappointed. Many times I thought I had the plot and characters figured out. However, the delicious plot twists and turns surprised me around every turn and they are sprinkled into the story purposefully and masterfully. This is sure to be an instant hit this Summer! I could NOT figure out what was real and what was deceit....and I say that in such a good, highly interesting, page turning type of compliment! I thoroughly enjoyed this story! It was dazzling!

The Wife Who Knew Too Much has it all: love, lust, infedilty, betrayal, money, lies, and murder. Nina married wealth but paid for it. Her new husband is cheating on her and she ends up dead in the pool. The new wife, Tabby, questions many things about her husband. Readers get to delve into the history of these relationships. I was surprised at the turn the story took and who was actually responsible for the mayhem.

This book is an excellent read for fans of suspense. It will leave you guessing until the end and there are many mind twisting plots and secrets, you will not be disappointed!

I had really high hopes going into this one, but something about it just didn't work for me. Although this was a super twisty thriller, I found it was just alittle too slow for my likings. The beginning was good, slow, but good, but I got alittle lost in the middle. I found myself skimming a lot of it, because I just wasn't connecting. It wasn't until about 75% of the way through that it really started to pick up for me. We started to have a nice action packed thriller but just as quickly as it picked up, it instantly slowed back down for me. What I did enjoy though was the characters. Well, I should say I hated them, but I think they were supposed to be unlikable. I find I gravitate more to unlikable characters. I really just wanted to shake her and smack her upside the head and yell "hello, Tabby, use your brain, you're smarter than this". She got herself in a very tricky situation and I wasn't sure how she was going to get out of it. The little twist at the end was brilliant though, I did thoroughly enjoy that.
I've seen so many amazing reviews for this one. So although it didn't work for me, it doesn't mean it won't work for you! If you're looking for a slow-paced, light thriller, be sure to check this one out.

Michele Campbell is an author to watch out for. This book was so amazing with all its twists and turns, I couldn’t read it fast enough. I cannot wait to read more of her work
