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.

This book is everything! I love a good second chance romance trope, and this is a wonderful telling of such a romance where things aren’t exactly as they seem. Young lovers Connor and Tabitha were torn apart by their family members years ago. Now, Connor has found himself living a luxurious life of the rich and famous. But a seemingly random encounter years later and a night spent together will chance the course of their lives forever! I was hooked on this story from the first page and by the end, I was dying to know how things happened. I honestly couldn’t guess what was going to happen through most of this book! This is definitely going to be one of my favorite thrillers is 2020!

This was my first book by Michele Campbell but I was hooked from the beginning. It was full of twists and turns and an ending I didn’t expect. Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I absolutely loved this twisty and suspenseful novel! The story grabbed me from the first page and I literally couldn’t stop reading, anxious to find out what happened next. There were many twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I’m a big fan of this author and grateful for the opportunity to have read this exciting book!

With all the craziness going on at the moment, it was nice to escape in a good book. I’ll be honest, I took my time reading this one due to my own lack of connection. Looking back, I really loved the beginning of this book and the ending. While needed for the story, I think the middle of the book was my least favorite part (just too many details that weren’t needed in my opinion). I hope when this book is released in June, I can read it again with a better frame of mind.

The Wife Who Knew Too Much is the first book that I've read by Michelle Campbell. It starts off with a bang with Nina's diary entry stating "My husband is planning to kill me. For obvious reasons. He's in love with someone else. And he wants my money." How could you not be compelled to keep reading after a beginning like that? As the book progressed, it became predictable at times and the main characters weren't likeable. Tabitha was very naive and Conner simply interested in money. Despite this, I think the book well written and it kept me interested enough to keep reading until the end.

2.5 Stars for The Wife Who Knew Too Much , by Michele Campbell .

This started off quite interesting but quickly became more of a romance novel with a fairly week storyline for me. I lost interest early into the book. I could not emphasise with the characters at all

Just not my style of book, but thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and the Author for an early copy in exchange for my review

Wow! Loved this suspenseful tale of love, and glamour, and money, and deceit, and murder! Tabitha and Connor have a true love but also have major obstacles to overcome, such as Connor's incredibly wealthy older wife, and a mysterious friend from Connor's college years. Michele Campbell takes her readers on a ride full of twists and turns, and ends the book with an unpredictable and satisfying ending. I read this book in record time, and highly recommend it to all mystery lovers!

Thank you, NetGalley for letting me read this fun book!

I received this book "The Wife Who Knew Too Much" from NetGalley and all opinions expressed are my own. Always an awesome book from Michele Campbell. This book has lots of twists and turns and you will not be able to put it down. Surprise ending! Though I wished it had ended differently for him and the story could have gone a different way. It was very sad at the end.

This book was chilling and intense. It kept me on the edge of my seat. It had twists and turns that kept me wanting more.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

This book had so many twists and turns and while I saw some of the reveal coming I was not prepared for the whole ending! Connor is married to Nina who is a socialite with more money than he has ever seen, but he is her second husband and she mistrusts him based on her first husbands misdeeds. She may have reason to mistrust him as no one in her life is who they say they are so when she is found dead the plot just gets thicker. A great read!

If you haven't read any of Michele Campbell work, you must check her out! She is becoming one of my favorite writers!! In her last work, The Wife Who Knew Too Much, Campbell captures you from page one and takes you on a suspenseful, keep-you-guessing ride! You meet Tabitha, a hard working woman who is down on her luck and in walks Conner. The boy from her past. Bur sadly enough, Conner is married to a very rich woman. I am sure you can guess where this goes. I thought I had the book figured out but Campbell has a way of twisting and turning the story just when you think you have it.
Overall, a fabulous book. Perfect for this time of year with the rain and sickness going around. I will continue to check out Michele Campbell's work and will be recommending this book to others! Special Thanks to NetGalley, Michele Campbell, and St. Martin's Press for the advance digital copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Campbell did it again...making me guess til the end.
I don’t want a thriller to just be thrilling- I want it to shock me and have a good twist or two in there and that’s exactly what she brings.
Rich woman meets young playboy and falls for him. They marry and she mysteriously dies. Prenup says he gains nothing if found having an affair or involved in her death.
What happens when hunky young husband has not only an affair but looks suspicious in her death? And a quick new marriage is revealed?

The Wife Who Knew Too Much started off quick and never stopped!! I went in thinking I would/would not like certain characters and was shocked to find myself jumping back and forth the entire time. There were plot twists I NEVER saw coming and I loved that it kept me on my toes. Thank you so much to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for allowing me to read an Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for my honest review.

This thriller revolves around a women named Tabitha who reconnects with her childhood crush Connor. The only problem? He’s married to a very wealthy woman named Nina with an ironclad prenup. After a weekend spent together, he promises to find a way out of the marriage and the two part ways. Fast forward a couple of months and Nina is found dead in their swimming pool. The police rule suicide. But was it suicide or something more sinister?

Tabitha and Connor marry and move into the huge mansion previously inhabited by Connor and Nina. Slightly uncomfortable around the staff, Tabitha is ready for her happily ever after with Connor. But then Connor starts acting weird and becoming distant. Tabitha starts wondering what really happened to Nina that night. Did Connor have something to do with her death? Is Tabitha is danger? Then she finds Nina’s diary......

What I liked: The story opened with Nina’s diary entry, which definitely peaked the reader’s interest about what actually happened to her. It was definitely a fast read. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that one of the characters whose intentions I questioned throughout the entire story, turned out to be a good person in the end. The ending was a little sad, but did provide closure for the main characters.

What I didn’t like: Tabitha was super naive and didn’t always make smart decisions. I found myself yelling at her in my head to run away and stop being so gullible. I found a lot of the story predictable. I figured out who the “bad guy” was about halfway through the story although I didn’t know the why until closer to the end. I also understand why the author did what she did with one of the main characters at the end, but I feel like I would have liked the story better had it not happened (sorry it’s hard to talk about without spoiling anything 😉).

Overall a good thriller! Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an ARC of this book!
