Thank you to netgalley and AJ Campbell for giving me an early copy for my honest feedback!
I really enjoyed this one and can't wait to see mote from this talented author!
May has been full of amazing releases, and to end the month right, I bring you this amazing recommendation! This book was so addicting I could not put it down! It had me from the very first page! The characters are relatable, and the twist will make your head spin! I thought I knew what was going on the whole time, but I was definitely wrong! I highly recommend this book if you love thrillers that are past paced and you can't put down! This is a read in one sitting kind of book for sure! Five stars from me!!

I honestly think this one is my new favourite by AJ, I was instantly hooked by it and I didn’t want to put it down! I flew through it!

I loved the whole whodunit / did I do it? these it was absolutely brilliant. Christina wouldn’t have really killed her husband would she?? The other characters all seemed shady and had things to hide too so it made it difficult to figure out who was trustworthy. I really liked Christina’s twin brother Ted and the relationship she had with him.

This was a fast paced thriller. I kept thinking I had everything all figured out then something would happen and flip everything around. The twists at the end completely shocked me. Definitely a must read for thriller fans.

Twists, turns, secrets and lies!!!! This book has it all and more. I was engrossed from beginning to end and couldn't put it down. Huge 5 stars.

I received a copy of this book for free and leave my review voluntarily.

WOWZA. This was wild. The story starts with a bang and does not slow down. I loved how A.J. used emotion throughout this novel. She captured the essence of guilt, love, and rage perfectly.

The characters in this book kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved the dynamic between Chrissy and Ted. They have the sibling relationship we all dream about.

I tried figuring out the twist the entire time I was devouring this book and was wrong every single time. The twists kept coming fast and furious.

I love Campbell’s writing style. She brings the story to life so the reader feels like they are in the room with the characters. This was a fairly heavy read, but it was intense and fast-paced.

I was hooked from the first paragraph. I could not stop reading. There was no way I could hit pause once I started this one. The plot thickened on every page.

If you want to lose sleep but be kept on your toes, look no further. This is the book for you!

The reason I like to read books like this is because they usually keep me guessing and I enjoy trying to solve the plot twists before they’re revealed.
This one hit me from the side because I certainly had no idea there would be such a huge reveal toward the end.
I felt the tension of Christine as she worried about the consequences of one action that has a profound impact on her life.
She worries about so much and zeroes in on one person while others were flitting in the background I thought she needed to pay more attention but I never saw the one that truly betrayed her.
One character got what was coming and in fact I cheered when it occurred.
My one question that wasn’t answered was what happened to the money???

Holy crap! This was a fast paced, exciting and completely gripping thriller that had me on the edge of my seat from the first page to the last page! AJ Campbell is a master of mystery and suspense. The suspense built up until we got to the mind blowing ending! I neglected everything until I finished this one. This book had everything I loved - short chapters, lots of twists and turns, well developed characters, and a plot that was delivered beautifully! There were multiple times that I thought I had it solved. There were multiple times that I thought the story was wrapped up. I was wrong on every occasion! Campbell does a clever job pulling us in at the very beginning and keeping up captivated right up until the end. She masterfully weaves in relevant twists and jaw dropping turns that kept me furiously turning the pages. I highly recommend this one!

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was a fast paced thriller from start to finish. It begins with Christina driving home on a very wet and windy night. In the darkness she feels the car hit something. Braking she gets out but can’t find anything. She drives home. Shaken she goes to bed but is woken up in the night by police knocking on her door. Really well written and constructed this is a deeply satisfyingly twisty story with some great characters.

Briefly, to Christina’s horror she discovers her husband Michael has been knocked down in a hit and run and is seriously ill in hospital! Did she in fact run her own husband down? We follow Christina as she tries to work her way out of the mess she believes she has caused. On the way she finds out an awful lot more about her family and friends than she would have wished but can she survive it?

There are so many secrets, so many twists and turns, and so many times I thought I had this sussed, but I hadn’t. I read this is one sitting, I was so completely hooked. An exciting psychological thriller, full of suspense and brilliantly plotted. Very entertaining.

Did I Kill my Husband? was a gripping domestic thriller that had me hooked from the start and never let me go till I finished reading it. So engrossed was I in the tangle of lies, secrets, deceit and blackmail. There were little twists sprinkled throughout until the final one that I did not expect at all. It was mind blowing and fit the puzzle pieces perfectly. Well-developed and relatable characters added extra depth to the mystery.

Fast paced and twisty, I really enjoyed reading the book, my first by A J Campbell. I will definitely be checking out more of her books. Highly recommend this one.

Thank you @netgalley @bookouture and @ajcampbellauthor for an opportunity to read this ARC.

Christina & Michael seem to have the perfect marriage … but is there such a thing?! Seems not!!

Christina drives home in the pouring rain on country roads, after a drink with her brother. So when she feels her car hit something, she gets out the car, to see what animal it was. There is no animal, in fact she can’t see anything at all, on the dark roads, She panics, she has had a drink, and drives home. The next day, the police are at the door … her Husband has been involved in a hit and run … what?!
This is a prime example of how a little White Lie can snowball and it’s too late to correct what you have said.

AJ Campbell has literally done it again BUT even better with each book. THAT ending though whaaaat??!!

If you haven’t read any books by this author … then it should be law that you do! 😜 😂❤️

This was a good domestic thriller that had me guessing and changing my mind throughout even thought i had it all sussed out at one point but nope i didn't with a great twist I never saw coming would recommend

This book absolutely wowed me. I finished it in two days. It was the epitome of a thriller. There was suspense, and there were shocking turns of events. I wanted to keep going, but I hated to see this book end. I truly enjoyed AJ Campbell's writing.

Another cracker of a book from @ajcampbellauthor This time we follow the main character on her drive home after a night out and the story just grows and grows as we learn more about the family, it twists and turns as secrets are revealed, and every time I thought I knew who had hit Michael there was another twist revealed and I realised I was wrong, and wow, I did not expect that ending!

A.J. Campbell returns following My Perfect Marriage with her latest sizzling cat-and-mouse domestic suspense, DID I KILL MY HUSBAND?

About...
Christina is driving in atrocious weather at night and hits something she thinks is an animal or deer, possibly, then runs off. She does not see anything. Later, when the cops arrive at her home, she discovers her husband has been hit and is the victim of a hit and run, he is in critical condition and in the hospital in a coma!

What in the world is going on? What was her husband doing on foot in this weather when he was supposed to be home with the children? Christina and Michael are not the perfect couple and family, but she would not kill him or harm him. But she has her brother Ted to help her with this horrible problem. What is she to do? She feels guilty, and she cannot tell anyone. Trust no one.

Everyone is hiding secrets. Michael is at the heart of a scandal at the school where he teaches, but he was cleared of any wrongdoing. A teenage crush? But is he hiding something? What if he dies?

Did she kill her husband? What has she done? Things are not adding up. What is he hiding? D.S. Macintosh is on the case. He wants to know who would cause her husband harm. Does she truly know her husband?

But now she has a secret...If he wakes up, will he remember who hit him? Is he feigning amnesia? She can do it. Until she receives a note. Someone saw something. Her worst nightmare. A blackmailer? MERRY CHRISTMAS!

"Lying is like a snowball. The more you roll it, the larger it becomes. And it's not just her who is lying..."

My thoughts...
DID I KILL MY HUSBAND is a twisty, fun, quick-read domestic thriller. I enjoy A.J. Campbell's short chapters that leave a hanging question. There are so many questions and suspicions. It is a riveting cat-and-mouse thriller, leaving you guessing as to which is the cat and which is the mouse.

A popcorn thriller, mind-blowing, with numerous suspects, including dark secrets of marriage, lies, manipulation, shame, infidelity, guilt, evil, fear, deceit, betrayal, and madness. The author cleverly keeps you guessing until the last page is turned.

Recs...
For fans of authors, Miranda Rijks, Emily Shiner, and Daniel Hurst.

Oh. My. God. A.J. Campbell has done it again! With a blistering pace, ever rising dread, and top-notch twists, the author of Did I Kill My Husband? had me in the palm of her hand. Layered with dark secrets and a heaping pile of lies, there wasn’t a chance of me working out the whos, the whats, and the whys. Well, I did have one sneaking suspicion, but as the plot twisted and turned, I convinced myself I couldn’t possibly be right. But when the final revelation was finally laid at my feet, it still felt both mind-blowingly shocking and like the perfect answer to this superlative puzzle.

As for the characters, I went from rooting for Christina to wanting to shake her more than once. Part suspicious and part oblivious, she was the perfect dupe for this stellar storyline all things considered. But it was the rest of the cast that perfected the plot. From the angsty teen son to helpful twin brother, no one was out of range from my distrustful side-eye. Was Christina really the culprit? Or was she being played for a fool? It wasn’t until the final timely revelation where all was revealed.

Done and dusted, this book was only further proof of why Campbell is one of my favorite authors. Giving rise to an anxiety that utterly oozed from the pages, I quite literally raced through this book in just a single sitting. A gripping domestic thriller that reached a rather chilling crescendo, the short chapters kept me reading way too late into the night. All I know is that yet again Ms. Campbell had left me wanting more. One more word. One more page. One more heart-pumping ride. For that reason, I can’t wait to read whatever she comes up with next. I do, however, have one recommendation. Go into this one blind. It will be worth it. Rating of 4.5 stars.

This book was a great whodunit. Every turn had me more puzzled than the next. I honestly couldn't even decide if I had a theory on what was going to happen until about 70% in and even then, I was wrong. The twist at the end had my jaw on the floor... didn't see that one coming. There were tons of twists and turns throughout. This book had me saying, "one more chapter" and then reading way more. This also had great short chapters that made it a binge-worthy thriller you won't be able to put down.

I couldn’t put this down!! I love that the chapters are short and fast paced. I kept telling myself “one more chapter” then I would just keep going! Everyone felt like a suspect and I did not see the end coming! Excellent read!
