Absolutely loved this book! It kept you guessing with twist and turns throughout the book! It was a fast read and I highly recommend it. Thank you NetGalley for choosing to write my honest opinion.

Wow. This book held my interest and I was able to read it in a day. I really enjoy this author, she keeps you on your toes and keeps the story moving. Connor and Tabitha meet one summer and fall in love. Family comes between them and they end their relationship. Years later, Connor who is married to a very wealthy woman runs into Tabitha and they reunite. What is Connor going to do? He is married and stands to gain money from the woman he is married to. After an big party, his Wife, Nina, is dead, and now Tabitha and Connor can be together! What really happened to Nina that night? Was Connor responsible for her death? Was it an accident? This story has a lot of twists and turns and was somewhat predictable, but nonetheless, it was still a great read! Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for the ARC. Thanks also to Net galley for providing it to me as well.

Michelle Campbell crafts a thriller that was impossible to put down(I read this book in one day!). The Wife Who Knew Too Much follows Tabitha as she reconnects with her first love ---who is already married---and struggles to figure out how best to proceed. Tabitha and Connor end up married after his wife mysteriously dies, but everything unravels soon after, and Tabitha is framed for murder. The plot kept me guessing, and ultimately Campbell constructed characters whose lives were connected in so many ways. Overall, one of my favorites books of 2020 so far!

You know a book is good when you can’t decide where your allegiances lie or what you’re hoping the outcome is. This book was like an onion, with new layers materializing as I turned each page.


Tabith spent one love filled summer with Connor until their families came between them. Since that time, she has never really felt any relationship has lived up to the one with Connor. It seems like it’s meant to be when Connor re-enters her life years later. Despite confessing his love for Tabitha, he is now married to an older, wealthy and controlling woman.

When that woman is found dead in her pool, Connor and Tabith can now be together with nothing and no one to stand in their way. Or can they? What unfolds next is daunting, creepy and will make you question everything you have decided about the characters in earlier chapters.

This book kept me guessing and I like to think I’m a regular ol’ Nancy Drew 🔎

It’s being published on June 9, 2020 and you should add it to your list of summer reads. Now that @michelecampbell is on my radar, her books will be an easy default purchase for me.

Tabitha has followed her heart to the man she loved as a teen, but it appears she may have bitten off more then she can chew. She has married into a life outside her comfort zone and more lavish then she has ever dreamed. She finds herself pregnant, and in the middle of being accused of murdering a women she has never met. How can she not begin to question everything she has been living. Questioning her husbands love, her life and how she is going to discover the truth.

his is a binge book! It's a fast paced binge worthy book. I started it last night thinking I'll just read for a bit then go to sleep 4 hours later I I finished it! The beginning of the book hooked me and I had to know what happened. The beginning starts out with a diary entry of Nina basically putting it out there that if she died unexpectedly that her husband was to blame. Then, the next morning she was found drowned.
The story follows Tabitha and has some flashbacks and chapters from Nina.
I loved this book, I couldn't put it down and the twist was much more sinister than I originally thought! It hooks you from the beginning and keeps you hooked till the end! This was a first for me by this author and I'm excited to check out her other books! Definitely recommend

Thank you so much to @NetGalley @MicheleCampbell and @St Martin’s press for allowing me to read this ARC early!

This book started off confusing me, but I think it was in a good way. I kind of felt off kilter as I read it, like I was trying to figure out what was going on, who was who, and how these stories were connected. I thought it was really interesting, because I misjudged characters that were introduced to me at the very beginning, and I think that is because I started to make assumptions solely on the order in which I got to see their perspective. I did really enjoy this thrilling story, and wasn’t 100% sure I had guessed the twists. I did find that I kept picturing the same scenery as A Stranger on the Beach, so the fact that I couldn’t come up with a whole new picture for this books setting knocked it down a little bit for me. I also felt that it resolved a little faster at the end than I would have liked, and I almost wished that it had that last page stunner that left you reeling. But I was really happy to read it early, and definitely am keeping Michele as a must buy author for my thriller shelves!

This book had so much promise. I couldn’t put it down...... UNTIL about 60% and then it just died. Like what the heck?!?! So disappointing! I almost DNF but I just kept thinking it has to pick back up, sadly it did not.

I was a huge fan of A Stranger on the Beach so I was SO excited to be approved for an ARC of The Wife Who Knew Too Much.

This one gripped me from the first page; I was immediately sucked into Nina's diary entry. I was equally absorbed by Tabitha and Conner's story, fascinated by the way their outrageous and shitty choices had domino effect after domino effect on other people. I will say though, that towards the end it did get predictable.

WOW I loved this book. It just kept me coming back. Very well written with the background ground of all the characters to go with it. It keep me guessing till the very end!

A page turner for sure. A book that I could not put down. I am a huge fan of this author and she will forever be one whose books I read first

3.5*
A twisty story of love, second chances and oh yes, a hefty dose of betrayal!

Tabitha fell in love with Connor when she was just a teen. Young love, first love. Burning deeply. And poor Tabitha never quite got over it. So years later when Connor comes waltzing into the diner where she works, she feels that love-light still shining brightly. Can she recapture that passion she had? Can her dreams still come true? Well, there is one small problem.... Connor is married! Oops! In fact, he’s married to one of the wealthiest and highly regarded women in society. Oh, this can’t end well. Or will love conquer all and win out!?

I was ridiculously caught up in the first half of this book. Found it absolutely unputdownable! But then it very abruptly changed. The principal characters suddenly became quite unlikable. Or maybe they were all along...and I was just blinded by their actions. Well anyway...I now found it difficult to be on anyone’s side.

The ending was a bit messier than I would have liked, though it did provide plenty of twists.
Did it provide me with the five-star experience I thought I was going to have? Well...no. But still an overall good thriller that fans of Ms. Campbell will still enjoy.

A buddy read with Susanne!

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and Michele Campbell for an ARC to read and review.

Michele Campbell has the ability to pull her readers in from the very first sentence. She definitely does so with this novel. It is filled with suspense and intrigue. With each character development, you keep thinking you know exactly what is going on, but you probably don't. I enjoyed this book. I liked it better than A Stranger on the Beach.

I love all books by this author and this one was no exception. Great story. Loved it. Such a great book.

This was my first time reading a book by Michele Campbell, and I don’t plan for it to be my last! Great thriller with a quickly moving plot that sucked me in right away and kept me on my toes throughout. Despite the twists and turns, I felt like the author did a good job of keeping things believable. Tabitha wasn’t exactly the brightest crayon in the box at times, which is a trait I sometimes find frustrating in a main character, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley, Michele Campbell, and St, Martin's Press for the ARC!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book early.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one, as Michele Campbell’s books are very hot or miss for me. Happily, this one fell into the hit category.

When I started reading, I was a bit confused as the plot line seemed similar to Stranger on the Beach, which I did not enjoy. However, I very quickly got wrapped up in these new characters. The pacing was fantastic and kept me reading as quickly as I could. The characters were well fleshed out and the mystery kept me guessing. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the dialogue felt stilted and over simplified. Despite that, I tore through this one. A really enjoyable read!

After reading The Stranger on the Beach, Michele Campbell had me hooked. This book was no different. I was immediately hooked. I stayed up late several night just to keep reading it. I would tell myself “one more chapter” but that just continued. I enjoyed the varying POVs which gave a different side to the story. I would definitely recommend this book!

I will rate The Wife Who Knew Too Much a 4/5 stars. Tabitha, a poor girl being raised by her grandparents, meets the wealthy and handsome, Connor, at the elite country club she is working at one summer and it begins a whirlwind, unlikely romance. When Connor's grandmother finds out about his involvement with a local girl, she threatens to cut him and his siblings off from her money if he doesn't end things with Tabitha. Years go by and one fateful evening, Tabitha runs into Connor again while waitressing at a local diner in their hometown. Connor has returned home on business and though she tries to fight it, all the feelings Tabitha once held for him comes rushing back like a flood. One thing leads to another and she ends up sleeping with Connor, who she knows is married to the rich and fabulous Nina Levitt. That one lapse in judgement sets the pace for Tabitha's life to be upended in ways she never would have imagined. When Nina turns up dead, Tabitha must fight for her life and freedom as Nina's death is pinned on her.

What I enjoyed about this book:
It was a very intriguing storyline. I liked the backstory between Connor and Tabitha as teenage lovers. The author really showed the difference between being wealthy and poor and how families on both ends would try to keep the two young lovebirds a part. This book is very action packed from the beginning. You have love, sex, angst, murder, greed, attempted murder, stalking, and more throughout the pages of the book.

What I didn't like about this book:
Tabitha really frustrated me a lot. Now, while I understand her love for Connor. She really didn't know him as an adult to be so willing to believe every single word that he told her. The sex must've really been exceptional or she was really naïve, one. I found myself at times saying aloud, "You're so stupid". If Connor could cheat on Nina with her, why wouldn't she believe that he would cheat on her with someone else?
I felt that the story was dragged a little towards the ending. Once we knew who was behind Nina's murder, it didn't have to be drawn out anymore. Just get to the good stuff and end the book. It is that simple.

Overall, this was a good read. I will be recommending this book to those who like mysteries. Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Love love love this author. Another great read. Thank you for the early release copy. I read it super quickly and it stuck with me. This will
definitely be another popular book by Campbell. You please keep them coming. I’m trapped in my house from corona virus. Couldn't think of a better way to go pass time. Loved it.

Instant trouble when a woman reconnects with her teenage love many years later. She goes in way over her head.

Storyline is good, convoluted plot kept me turning the pages. But, the narrative and the dialogue leave something to be desired. Some of the dialogue is just too simple. Sometimes cringeworthy. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending....it was over the top.

Conclusion: readable, good for a beach read or an airplane read. It's the type of book I would chose when I need something fast and entertaining.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for a review.
