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

This story sucked me in from the very first chapter. I felt so bad for Tabitha, since Connor was basically forced to break up with her because she was beneath his station.

As the story moves on and Connor's new rich wife dies, I start to feel less sympathy for Tabitha, and more annoyance. She is super naive, and just does stupid things. She does redeem herself at the end, but at a cost.

The ending was fantastic, with some twists that you never see coming. Overall, this is an exciting, fast paced, thrilling story that sucks you in the the beginning and has you holding on tight for the rest of the ride.

I was ecstatic to receive the invitation to read this book. I loved this Author's previous books. This one beat them all by a mile. I was led not only down the garden path but behind a very large tree. Nina and Tabitha have one thing in common. They both fall in love with Connor. Tabitha for the second time. Nina winds up dead. Did Connor kill her for her money? Read the book and you will find out. Thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and the Author for allowing me to read and review this book.

I was a huge fan of A Stranger on the Beach so I was SO excited to be approved for and 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.

Then the twists began things became really interesting!

Thank you to Michelle Campbell, St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for giving me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Nina grew up in poverty and married into wealth. Although she had to put up with her husband's many affairs, the money was worth it to Nina. Edward was much older than Nina - she kept quiet in order to inherit a fortune.

And quiet she was - until her husband, Edward, died.

Nina meets Connor 2 years later and falls deeply in love with him (she is 20+ years older than Connor), yet Nina's trust in Connor is still in the balance..

Meanwhile, Connor meets with his first love, Tabitha, "by chance". They realize their love never died. Of course, Connor's pre-nup is null if he cheats on or leaves Nina. Otherwise, he will get 10 million if Nina wants a divorce. What a mess...

The reader is kept guessing until the last page. A superb suspense thriller!

Highly recommend!

Thanks again to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for a super read!!!..

The Wife Who Knew Too Much by Michele Campbell

Seventeen year old Tabitha meets and falls hard for handsome Connor. Years pass, they lose touch and then reconnect. Their chemistry, though, is still electrically charged.

Connor is now married to a very wealthy, older woman, Nina, but no matter. Prenup? He’d give up everything for Tabitha, or so he wants her to believe. When Nina turns up dead, everyone is suspect, especially Tabitha who never even met Nina. She is now Mrs. Connor Ford though, so has she been set up?

The story begins to get more interesting by the last quarter of the book and comes together very nicely at the end, where the reader sees how the author put a lot of thought into creating that. The problem for me, I believe, was Tabitha’s character. Her naivety and childish impatience were annoying and more suitable to a smitten teenager than a woman in love. She cannot make a decision without contacting Connor first, and in one scene, as she is literally running for her life, she rues the fact that she is wearing her “cute, flimsy flats.”

The story has something for every mystery reader: murder, infidelity, wealth, suspects, love, deception and kidnapping. It’s a solid three star read from this reviewer.

Thanks to NetGalley and Michele Campbell for the ARC. I loved this roller coaster! The characters were spot on, I never suspected the twists and turns. The only thing from being a 5 star read is who died at the end and I totally get it that it had to happen this way but I was still hoping that person somehow got out alive.

The Wife Who Knew Too Much was an easy quick read.
Now 30 Tabitha reconnects with an old high school boyfriend who is married to a wealthy older woman. Sparks fly, but are they real on both sides? I found this book un-put-down-able and had only two concerns. I thought the dialog in places was contrived, and I didn't quite believe that Nina would not have had a will considering she did insist upon a prenuptial agreement. I'd give this a solid 3.5/5.0 stars, and definitely am interested in more books by this author.


Thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the ARC of this book.

4 out of 5 stars. Thank you to St Martins Press and Netgalley for this ARC in return for my honest review:

This book, in line with all Michele Campbell’s books, is nothing short of spectacular. As most people know, money doesn’t buy happiness, but what else comes with unimaginable wealth? The Wife Who Knew Too Much shows the real cost of money in this twisted psychological thriller. This book is “unputdownable” and will leave you wanting more!

I was so excited to see the email inviting me to read this most anticipated novel. I could not believe my luck.
Boy was I right, what a wonderful read. I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end.
I had a difficult time putting this beauty down.
Very well written, great characters which you loved and questioned their motives.
Lots of twists and turns, with an ending I did not see coming.
I love Michele Campbell novels and will continue to read anything she writes.
Thank you Netgalley, St Martin’s Press and Michele Campbell.
Highly recommend. 5 stars 🌟

The Wife Who Knew Too Much is a quiet little suspense novel that sneaks up on you in the way that a carefully concocted cocktail does when you least expect it. We are introduced to many characters in the beginning and when one of them dies, we aren't really aware of how intertwined she will be throughout the rest of the novel.

When Nina commits suicide, her husband is set to inherit everything. Only there was a prenup which mentioned no extra marital relationships and now Connor just got his secret hook up pregnant. It looks bad for Connor and bad for small town girl, Tabitha who is now carrying his child. While Tabitha tries to adjust to the lifestyle of the rich and famous, there is a murderer on the loose and it seems like everyone is a suspect. Filled with plot twists that keep your head spinning until the end, The Wife Who Knew Too Much is a good mystery!

Excellent writing, character development was pretty good even though there were many characters, and settings were great!!!

Thank you to NetGalley, Michele Campbell, and St, Martin's Press for the invitation to read and enjoy this temporary advance review copy. As always, my opinions are mine alone.

This book started out like gangbusters...slowed to a waltz...and then just petered out. Blah to the ending. Disappointing to say the least.

Michele Campbell sure does know how to write addictive suspense novels! When I read the description for The Wife Who Knew Too Little I was so excited to dive in! The premise is original and although I thought the beginning was a tad choppy, I quickly became hooked! Michele Campbell had me creating conspiracy theories about my conspiracy theories lol! The Wife Who Knew Too Little is a twisty turn tale that will have you guessing until the very end.

Another chilling hit for Campbell. Her writing gets better and more intense each time she writes a new book. This one has so much of the things I love in thrillers; lots of money, cheating, lies, twists, and so many dark chills! It had me racking my brain to figure out who was guilty and innocent and why they were all doing it! It also tied together little things that no one would notice, but had such a prominent feature in the whole storyline! Left me gasping with shocks, in chills, and tired from staying up way too late to read! Highly, highly recommend! Preorder today, not one you want to miss!
Will make sure I buzz it up on all the different platforms!
