The Wife Who Knew Too Much by Michelle Campbell was a fantastic and well-paced suspense novel that I KNOW you will love. I was looking forward to reading this and was not disappointed. From the first page, I was hooked and I couldn’t put it down. I typically read somewhat fast, and I flew through this novel quickly because I had to know what was going to happen, I thought I had it figured out but nope. I love when I’m wrong! When reading suspense, I want to be surprised and shocked!

The synopsis:

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.

Wow! The girl from the wrong side of the tracks falls in love with a rich boy but alas, their love is not meant to be. Many years later, they reconnect and realize there are still feelings but Conner is married to an older, very wealthy woman named Nina, that he doesn’t love or so he tells Tabitha. When Nina dies, suspicion swirls around Connor and Tabitha starts to question his true feelings for her. In fact, can she trust him? Really, how well does she know him? If this sounds like an episode of Dateline, you are correct. Its crazy and filled with intrigue and mystery and I loved every page!

This is one of those books I read and think about how it would make such a great movie! This will be out on June 9, pre-order here! You are going to LOVE IT.

Tabitha Girard never expected to see Connor Ford again. Their relationship in high school was hidden. Connor was from an affluent family; whereas Tabitha lived with her grandparents, who had to make ends meet. They met while Tabitha was a server at the pool, where Connor and his family hung out. Tabitha chanced sneaking out of her grandparents' home, to see Connor's band, and soon after lead to an ongoing relationship. Connor lived with his wealthy grandmother, and being daring, Connor and Tabitha sneaked into the house. When Connor's grandmother discovered the two, the relationship ended on a bad note.

Now years later, Connor walks back into Tabitha's life married to a wealthy, well known older woman, Nina. Tabitha is a waitress, and has to take Connor's order. Connor talks Tabitha into going with him to catch up, where they go to the home of a friend of Connor's, and one thing leads to another. Connor pledges he wants to leave his wife, but wants to do so in a way that doesn't void the pre-nup.

That one night spent together leads Tabitha with a dilemma, and days have gone by without one word from Connor. So Tabitha makes a choice that will bring more problems.

Following a big party, the next day, Nina is found dead, ruled a suicide. After Connor hears Tabitha's news, he marries her and moves her into Windswept, Nina's home. Everywhere, Tabitha turns, is Nina's shadow.

Tabitha's past catches up to her, and she agrees to work with the police because someone is lying. Tabitha is left to her own devices and trying to get people to talk, including Connor. When she gets a hold of Nina's journal and reads a passage from the day before she died, Tabitha isn't sure she knows Connor like she thought, maybe she never did.

This was an engrossing read! I enjoyed it.

I received an ARC from NetGalley via St. Martin's Press and I have voluntarily reviewed this book.

I have read several Michelle Campbell books and have always enjoyed them, so I was thrilled to snag a copy of The Wife Who Knew Too Much.

If I could sum this book up in two words it would be: Domestic Thriller. This book has it all -- romance, drama, affairs, murders, scandals. As with her other books, Michelle Campbell tells the same story from different narrators. It is such a fresh take on this genre, which can be bogged down at times. With different narrators and timelines, I was constantly telling myself "just one more chapter." Another great book!

I really loved A Stranger on the Beach so I was very excited to get my hands on a copy of the newest book by Michele Campbell. While it was a decent read, I didn't like it as much. I felt like the character development was lacking and I never developed any real interest in the characters. The plot made for a pretty good ride, though.

*Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a free ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

i loved this book.
Theres so much going on within these pages and its twisted and dark and twisty and so effed up! I thought i had it figured out and I was wrong..so go into this not knowing much more than the summary we are given from the author.
The author did an awesome job creating the scenes and bringing the characters to life. You might just feel the Hampton ocean chill on your shoulders while you're reading....
5 stars!
Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for my free ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I received and ARC of The Wife Who Knew Too Much. Let me start by saying... I loved it.

This book sucked me in from the first chapter. I honestly probably could have read this whole book in one sitting if I hadn’t have had to go to work. The writing style was easy to read from the very first page. And the author did a wonderful job of setting the scenes. The Wife Who Knew Too Much has everything you want in a good mystery... love, lust, greed, drama, cheating... and of course, murder. I’m usually pretty good at figuring out the “who-dun-it” but this one kept me on my toes. Everytime I thought I had it figured out there was another twist or a wrench thrown in there. The plot itself was different than your run of the mill mystery, but not to the point of being unbelievable. The story of a love story gone... wrong? I’ll leave that for you to figure out. I giggle recommend this book. And now I’m going to find her other books so I can read those too.

First of all I wanted to thank St.Martians Press and Michelle Campbell for the chance to read this book and review it.
I was honestly in a book slump before reading this book.
I would start a book read a few chapters then start another one.But after reading this book, I've found my love for reading again and I have Michelle to thank for that.
If you read just one book this year, Read this book..If I could shout it from the roof tops I would.
The story was excellent, Totally had me hooked from the first chapter..I'm going to be reviewing this book on Goodreads and Amazon..I wish I could give this book more then 5 stars..
I can't say enough about how suspenseful this book was.
I loved the character, some more than others..
The writing was excellent and it kept me up more than one night..So if you want a book that will keep you hooked, this is the book for you...Can't wait for Michelle to write another one..She is my new go to author..

Another great thriller from the author of A Stranger on the Beach. this one will draw you in from the first page of Ninas diary entry. While the love story is not very believable, the rest of the story line is fast paced and will keep you hooked until the end.

It’s been years since Tabitha has seen Connor. Ever since his Grandmother caught them and kicked her out of the house when they were teens. Suddenly though, Connor shows up during the dinner shift at Tabitha’s job. The two reconnect and everything is wonderful. Well, except for the fact that Connor is married to Nina, a very wealthy and connected woman. While Connor tries to find out a way to divorce Nina without activating the prenup, Nina winds up dead. Could Connor have killed her?

Michele Campbell does it again! Was anyone worried? I wasn’t! This book pulled me in from page one and I could not wait to find out what happened. Campbell has a way of making you love most characters, even when you don’t like them very much. While I did have the who-dun-it figured out fairly quickly, it did not slow or take away from my reading experience. I flew through it as always and greatly enjoyed it. Love, manipulation, hate, jealously, money, look no further, this thriller has everything you need!

Thank you St Martins Press for my gifted copy of this book!

Now this is a good thriller! This book kept me hooked from the very beginning. I kept trying to figure out who the actual "bad guy" is in this story, but Campbell kept me guessing to the very end. Highly recommend! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Another great psychological/domestic thriller by Michele Campbell. It almost felt like two mysteries in one, but I don't want to add any spoilers. Tabby reconnects with her childhood love Connor but he's caught up in a marriage to the wealthy Nina. Is love enough?

This had me hooked within the first few pages with Nina's diary entry. After that, it got less interesting. I didn't get the whole love between Tabitha and Conner, especially that it would have lasted all that time. Conner was only ever after two things: sex and money. Tabitha's character was ridiculous. She was naïve, her choices were ridiculous, and well, I just didn't like her. Actually, I didn't like any of the characters and I'm not one that has to like the characters in order to like the book. However, even the story wasn't strong. This was highly predictable, therefore, there were no twists. I honestly have nothing good to say about this book which is unfortunate.

*Thank you the publisher and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was an enthralling, suspenseful read, with echoes of Rebecca.

Tabitha is a poor waitress in a New Hampshire summer town when her high school boyfriend Connor comes back in her life. Now married to a rich, older widow, Connor seems to be off limits, but cannot resist Tabitha's charms.

Hunted by her ex-husband, Tabitha waits for Connor to divorce his wife, until she realizes she's pregnant. Tabitha heads down to the Hamptons to confront Connor, only to be followed her ex-husband and for Nina, Connor's older wife, to be found dead.

Now installed as the second Mrs. Ford, will Tabitha find the happiness or discover more than she wants to know about her husband?

The book has a lot of good twists and turns, and some that were a little unrealistic, but overall, I really enjoyed this exciting read.

This was a fast paced read. I was hooked from the first page. Tabitha was an easy character to like. I did find myself getting a little frustrated with her trust of some others in this book. She was kind and down to earth and really just wanted to be with Connor. I even liked NIna, the brief interaction we had with her in this book.

This book has some interesting twists. I was happy to see that maybe not everyone was the villain that you were lead to believe he/she was. My heart broke for Tabitha. I was impressed by her courage and her strength. I thought the ending was perfect.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was a good mystery with enough suspense to keep the reader interested. I did not like the ending of the book and none of the characters had any redeeming qualities. However, neither of those lowers my rating. This is a book which I would recommend to others.

Wow, this was a great book! I loved all the different locations where it took place and was quickly pulled into this fast paced story

Oh, what a twisty read! Michele Campbell once again delivers a thriller with a fascinating premise, intriguing characters, a whiplash pace--sprinkled with the detonation of lots of surprises along the way. A rapid-fire suspense read!

This is the third book that I have read by this author, and I think she just keeps getting better and better. This book is mostly told in first person, by narrator Tabitha, with occasional flashbacks or scenes written from another's perspective. I couldn't put this one down, even to sleep. I was a bit saddened by the ending, but after I thought about it, the book couldn't (and shouldn't, probably) have ended any other way. I've enjoyed past books by Michelle Campbell, but The Wife Who Knew Too Much cemented her spot on my must-read list. Definitely a must read.

I loved, loved, loved this book! It was twisty and suspenseful and a very enjoyable read. Half of the book is told through both of Connor Ford's wives and I really liked both characters. I can't wait for her next book!!!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC!

I read this book in just a few hours and enjoyed every minute of it. I read a lot of thrillers and can usually figure the twists out pretty early. This one kept me guessing until the very end, which I greatly appreciate.
