Thank you to the AJ Campbell for reaching out with an e-ARC of Did I Kill My Husband? In exchange for an honest review!

Christina is meeting with her twin brother at the bar one evening because she is at her wits end. She is frustrated in her marriage, and she doesn’t know where to turn. On her way home, she hits something, an animal she assumes, with her car. That is, until the police call to inform her that her husband Michael has been hit by a vehicle, right when and where she hit the animal. Now Christina must figure out if she did hit her husband, as he lays in the hospital. As she investigates, she finds secrets about Michael that she couldn’t have planned for.

When I first started reading this book I loved the pace. It was quick and it kept me hooked from the beginning. The next thing that jumped out to me was how well the characters interacted with each other like real friends and family, especially the siblings Christina, Ted and Sophia. And this extended throughout all the interactions between characters! Furthermore, each character had their own conflicts going on which allowed for tension and suspense from a variety of angles, so I was constantly immersed in what was going on.

The main storyline was full of twists and turns and reveals that made me gasp. I thought I had things figured out 2 or 3 times, and when everything was finally resolved it was like a slap in the face. I was totally unprepared but once I heard it, it made complete sense! And everything wraps up nicely, no loose ends!

If you need a new thriller this summer, this is the one to get! It is unputdownable. And I promise you, the last quarter of this book will stick with you!

This is a new author for me and I have to say I was very impressed. Hooked from the first page there was plenty of tension and twists where I thought I had figured out what was going on but I was wrong several times, I just didn’t know what was going to happen next!! A great suspenseful rollercoaster of a book and I will look to read more by this author.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. AJ Campbell definitely writes some amazing plots with twists!! This one was a roller coaster and I was not sure what to believe. Did she kill her husband? I couldn't wait to find out.

The title is what drew me to this book. I love a good thriller that keeps me on the edge of my seat. In this story Christina's husband has been involved in a hit and run that has put him in the hospital. She is afraid she may have been the one behind the wheel of the car that hit him. She is fearful that she will lose her husband and even more fearful that if he survives he will be able to identify her as the assailant responsible for the hit and run. Her husband Michael is no innocent, good person either as the story alludes to a troubled past where he was involved in a scandal with a student who he taught. Throughout this book Christina is frantic and about to fall apart with all the lies that are building up and all the secrets she thinks her husband is keeping.

It took awhile to get into the story and I found that I didn't really get into the story until almost to the end when the twist was revealed. It was quite the twist but I must say that I didn't care for the ending.

This is my first ever book by A.J. Campbell and I really enjoyed it. Cristina is driving home late one night and hits something. She gets out thinking it’s a deer or another animal but sees nothing. Then the next day, the police show up saying her husband was in the hospital and had been in a hit and run. Coincidence maybe? It sure kept me guessing! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this early release in exchange for my honest review. To be published May 29, 2024.

There is a scandal and suspicion at the school where Michael is a beloved teacher, and it involves him. He is eventually cleared, but damage to his reputation has been done and he is passed over for the promotion he’s been expecting.
Michael is married to Christina who appear to an idyllic couple. But now the student’s accusations are negatively affecting their marriage.

And then things go bizarre!
One dark night, Christine is driving home from having a drink with her brother at the bar. She’s driving at a snails pace in the pouring and blinding rain when she feels a frightening thud beneath her wheels. She stops and gets out to look for an injured animal, but assumes it must have run off. She arrives home shaken up and then things get oh so much worse. There comes that eerie knock on the door her home, when all should be asleep. It’s the police informing her Michael, is in the ICU clinging to life due to injuries sustained from a hit-and-run. Was it her husband beneath her tires? No, it couldn’t be, she never saw anything. Both panic and fear, cause Christina to not mention the incident to police, then the lies and coverup begins to scroll. After all there was no one around who could have seen what occurred on the deserted road that night. But wait, a mysterious letter that appears in her mailbox reveal that someone did see her car that night. Now Christine Is more terrified than any storm.


 
AJ Campbell masterfully builds intense suspense in her storytelling that captivated me from the very first page to the last. The narrative is deftly loaded with twists that are both unpredictable and ingenious. This book is a a rollercoaster ride of tension, where each chapter intensifies suspense, making it impossible to put down.

Hooked me from the start! With short chapters that leave you hanging, you won’t want to put it down til you find out what happens! I didn’t love the ending but overall, it was an entertaining book.

Twisted! That is the best way to describe this story! I was shocked at the ending, and honestly, at each twist. This is just what you want to read in a psychological thriller! Wow! If you like this genre, you’ll love this one!

Another edge of the seat page turner from AJ. Campbell I couldn’t put it down, thoroughly enjoyed it.

AJ Campbell has done it again with her latest thriller Did I kill my husband.
Christina is driving home from the pub in torrential rain and wind that she can only see a few feet in front of her when she hears a thud. At first thought that she has run over an animal. But when she gets out to check she sees nothing there.
When she gets home, she finds her daughter alone and her son gone out for the night. The next thing she hears is a knock on the door, it’s the Police. Thinking its to do with her incident earlier. But she is told that her husband has been involved in a hit and run and he has been taken to the hospital. He is now in an induced coma for his injuries. Christina wonders if the incident earlier, was it Micheal she run over? Did I try and kill my husband?
I have now read several books from the author, and she does not disappoint and Did I kill my husband is no exception. There is a lot going on in this multiple twisty thriller, when Christina is trying to find out what happened that night and why he is keeping all the secrets. I felt her pain coming off the pages as it is slowly revealed in what was going with Micheal and wow, I didn’t see the end coming. 4 stars from me.

Loved this cover!

Page 1 had me hooked or so I thought but as i read on just found it a little slow. It needed more suspense and action in the first part of the book; if this was not a netgalley book i may have just DNF the book but as I continued to more than half the book it did pick up. There was a big twist and turn at the end and it was very fitting to the book.

Once you get more than half of the book read it did pick up but book was just OK for me.

Thanks NetGalley for letting me read and review.

*Did I Kill My Husband?* by AJ Campbell is an intriguing psychological thriller that unravels secrets, betrayal, and the lengths we’ll go to protect ourselves and our loved ones. The novel opens with a heart-pounding scene which sucked me right in, and kept me coming back for more!!

Campbell’s writing kept me guessing, and the suspense was intense. I suspected a few things would happen and then bam! Plot twist! Followed by twist after twist!! Such a well written, thought out storyline! This book kept me engaged until the very end!!

*Did I Kill My Husband?* explores trust, deception, and the consequences of choices. It’s a rollercoaster ride of emotions, and the ending delivers yet again another curveball!

Fantastic job Amanda!! I can’t recommend this book enough!

Thank you NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book!! A fast-paced, page turning book that I couldn’t put down! Every time I thought I had it figured out there was another twist! Highly recommend you read this book!!

Given arc by Net Galley and bookouture for my voluntary review

Christina was driving home in treacherous conditions when she believed she hit an animal on the road. Having gotten out to check and nothing to see, continued home, only to be told by police in the early hours of the morning, her husband had been involved in a hit-and-run and they didn't not know the driver. Did Christina kill her husband? This plot takes you through the feelings and turmoil Christina experienced following the awful night and piece by piece, she finds information out that makes her unsure she knew who her husband really was.

I was expecting a lot from this book with the reviews and ratings by other readers, however I don't think it quite lived up to the hype in my eyes. The beginning of the book drew me in well with a great plot but I ended up a little bored in the middle with it being slightly stagnant with a lot of the same feelings being relived for multiple pages with no movement forward in the storyline. The last 25% of the book was worth continuing with faster-paced writing, multiple possible ways for the storyline to go and some red herrings thrown in too to try and put you off the scent. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't a resolve at the end with the culprit being revealed.

"The police officer’s voice is steady as he tells me the news. ‘Your husband is in hospital.’" "And more importantly… do the police know where I really was tonight?"
Did I Kill My Husband was a fast paced page turning book from beginning to end. It had so many twist and turns that I did not see coming and the ending was so good. This was my first time reading anything by the author and I look forward to reading more from AJ Campbell. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend this book to any reader who likes a good crime book. Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC read in exchange of my review of Did I Kill My Husband.

This book started off good but very quickly I found myself bored. I wish there had been more action/suspense in the first half of the book. If I wasn’t reviewing the book, I probably wouldn’t have read on. The second half of the book is where it really gets good. There’s a lot of intrigue and more suspense. I was wondering what kind of person Michael really was and what truly happened the night of the accident. I did like the big twist and the ending seemed fitting. I was a little disappointed there wasn’t one more big reveal of who really hit Michael. I feel like it was being set up for one more major twist but then it never happened. If you don’t mind a slow start, this was a good read overall. Thank you to NetGalley for my copy!

I received this ARC from netgalley.

When Christina goes out one night, and the police later show up at her door to tell her that her husband is in the hospital, she has a choice to make. His lies… or hers?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5 stars! This thriller and fast paced and launches immediately into the action. Every time I thought I had guessed the twist, or who was really behind each different shady action, the story turned in a different direction and I was wrong. You never knew what was coming next. I really enjoyed this one and plan to read the other books by this author! Definitely add this one to your TBR for May 29!

What did I just read? The best physcological thriller that is what! It's a whodunnit with twists at every turn. I had no idea who the culprit was but the person that I did have in mind was innocent. Christina wouldn't kill her husband, or would she? This is a binge worthy read that instantly engaged me with short and fast chapters. I would say just one more and before I knew it I had finished the book. It's so fast paced.

Amazing amazing amazing. @ajcampbellauthor work is always the work of a genuine magician. This story had a powerful start which gripped me immediately and kept momentum throughout and I genuinely thought good guys were bad and they turned out good 😊. Another read thoroughly enjoyed with easy to read short chapters its definitely a “just one more chapter book!” Keep them coming!!
