The guy's rich and the girl is from the proverbial wrong side of the tracks. But then it gets twisty. He's married to a fabulously wealthy woman, Nina. With a prenup. And Nina is suspicious because she generally thinks people are after her money.

One evening Connor the Rich shows up in the restaurant of Tabitha the Poor. They haven't seen each other since high school. The flames reignite.

Then someone starts following Tabitha. Things get very weird. Tabitha's creepy ex-husband gets out of prison and he adds his craziness to the mix.

And all of a sudden, Tabitha is facing a life sentence for a murder she didn't commit. At some points I was asking her, could you do anything MORE stupid? But, then, really, no one deserves to go to prison when they're being framed.

Could anything good come out of this? Or could any more tragedies occur?

Yes, actually.

Thank you to NetGalley that provided this book for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book. Just when you think you have it figured out, you don't. I recommend this book for anyone who loves to try to figure out a mystery. It is full of twists and turns that will keep you hooked until the very end.

When Tabitha recognizes her old summer fling boyfriend in the restaurant she’s working in, it brings back all that emotion of young love. Connor is as handsome as ever, and has married a very wealthy woman. Yet when he sees her, he is also remembering what feelings they had for each other. After a quick hookup, he tells Tabby that he loves her, but cannot leave his wife. Turns out his prenup will go into effect if he asks for a divorce, and he’s not willing to lose all that money! Classy guy! As luck would have it, his wife “commits suicide” in their pool during a huge party. Surprise, surprise, some people think Connor may be involved! I found Tabby to be a bit foolish, believing every little think Connor told her, but hey, it was a pretty interesting read! Thanks #NetGally for this pre-pub read.

Great book! I couldn't put it down. I finished it today around 3am because I couldn't sleep without knowing the ending. This book was good from the beginning to the end, it has more parts with narratives than dialogue, but it didn't bother me anymore once I started getting into the story. I had read the back of the book a few weeks ago and then when I started reading the book I decided not to read the back again so I wouldn't know what was coming. It was great because then I had lots of surprises. It was not what I expected and I loved it! This book is a mix of mystery and romance but they go perfectly together. It goes back and fourth from the past to the present and it talks about marring into money and all the consequences it brings, teenager summer love and the mystery about the suicide or murder of the rich wife.

The book starts with Nina's diary and then it switches to Tabitha, who narrates most of the book. Tabitha is a waitress from a small town in New Hampshire and one day at work she saw Connor Ford, the guy she had loved (and still loves) deeply 13 years ago. She knew Connor had gotten married to one of the richest women in NY but when they saw each other that day all their feelings came back and ended up spending a weekend together. After promising her that he would leave his paranoid wife to be with her, Nina, wis wife, was found dead. Is Connor Ford the guy she thinks he is? Is he really in love with her? Did he kill Nina or did Nina kill herself, or did somebody else kill Nina? Lots of family secrets and connections between some of the characters. A must read!

This was a soap-opery drama. Entertaining, nonetheless and a quick, twisty read! Recommended if you're in need of something on the lighter side and need a palette cleanser.

Thank you to Ms. Cambell, the publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to receive this ARC! First off, I will mention that anyone who typically enjoys a good Lifetime Network mystery/thriller movie (myself included), is going to be a huge fan of this novel! It has a lot of the same features, which may not be some people's cup of tea, but even then it's still a great, easy read. It incorporates all the classic aspects of a mystery/thriller based in a romantic, seemingly wonderful relationship, with the revealation of a darker, mysterious plot at the core. While the characters are not deeply defined and the plot may be predictable at times, that's actually what I enjoyed about this novel. It's a great, easy read when you're looking for something that doesn't require becoming heavily invested in the storyline, while still keeping the pages turning because of the well crafted writing style. If you're looking for a relaxing, easy novel to read over a weekend this summer, I would definitely add this one to the list. Thanks again for the ARC and the chnace to provide my feedback!

If you want an easy read that contains a little bit of romance and a little bit of mystery then this is the book for you. While the storyline was decent and it was full of twists and turns, I can't give this book more than three stars. It started off really good and it captivated my attention but halfway through it fell flat for me. I was able to guess the twists and I wasn't too fond of the characters. However, I did enjoy the storyline and the writing was good. This was my Michele Campbell book, I can't wait to check out her other books.

I'm absolutely blown away by this book. "The Wife Who Knew Too Much" has everything I love in a good domestic thriller: fast pace, tension, twisty and shady events, sexy romance and a relatable main character.

Tabitha and Connor fell in love when they were young and naive but were separated by social expectations and class; she was poor while he was filthy rich. Thirteen years later, Tabitha is still poor, but now also divorced and with an ugly criminal record for a crime she didn't commit. One day, as she's waiting tables, her eyes meet with Connor's - still filthy rich and charming, but now married to his bitchy, controlling, jealous and aloof wife Nina. Soon, Connor becomes a widower after Nina's apparent suicide, and he is single again. Can the young, sweet romance between him and Tabitha be revived? Tabitha's wildest dreams say "yes," but... she finds Nina's diary which suggests that Connor and his mistress would have something to do with her death.

Was Tabitha set up from the start? Did Connor get rid of his wife? Did the mistress have anything to do with Nina's death? Campbell does a great job keeping you on your toes as the dark secrets are unveiled.

Besides the unexpected twists and turns, perhaps my favorite thing about this book is how deep and realistic the characters are, although unfortunately they are all pretty much unlikable and irritating, with Tabitha's naivete and Connor's rich-and-powerful-man vibes... Which is the reason why I'm giving this book 4 stars instead of 5, because I was totally in love with the plot.

The plot of the book wasn't quite what I expected based on the description. Without going into too much detail, there's a lot that happens before the pivotal turn in the summary. However, if you go in with an open mind, The Wife Who Knew Too Much is a fast-paced thriller that packs a few solid punches.

It's full of unreliable narrators and just overall shady characters doing shady things, which helps make a lot of the twists that much more impactful. Often in thrillers, I find myself yelling at the protagonist for doing something that is obviously a very bad idea. However, I understood Tabitha's struggle of not knowing whom to trust and the consequences of that uncertainty. This made it even easier to root for her, even if I wasn't sure if she'd turn out to be a villain.

Very sneaky characters, a plot that constantly keeps you guessing. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review!

Not my usual type of read but still very good. It had interesting characters and well developed plot. I'm not usually a fan of flashback type of stories.
This is the first book I've read by this author and it was good enough that I'll be looking for more. Thanks for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a disappointing book for me. The description of the book sounded good. The first few chapters were pretty good, but it fell flat for me. It was predictable, there was no character development, and the dialogue left a lot to be desired. 

I'm definitely in the minority with my opinion though so make sure you read some of the positive reviews too.

"I know this is wrong. But it feels so right. And I don't want it to end."

A quick book that would make a great beach read! If you love reading thrillers about marrying into money and the troubles that come with it this is the book for you.

I'm eating it 3 stars because the protagonist was naive and annoying in her earnestness and I guessed the twists, but I read a lot of Thrillers.

From the get go this story had me hooked and anxiously flipping pages. The innocence of a first love summer romance, deception, divorce, a dark past coming back to haunt and even a possible murder, I really did feel like it had all the elements to turn into an amazing story. The premise of this book is great but it just didn't work for me as a whole. The writing could have been better. There were times I couldn't tell if it was just bad writing or the characters lacked a single human emotion. For the majority of the book I had more questions than answers...and sadly many of them were never answered or even touched on again. I enjoyed the twists and turns, several of the character's truth's coming to light, and the fact that I was kept guessing until the very end. 3.5 stars Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This story is one part romance, one part mystery, and a whole lot of domestic drama. Tabitha and Conner reconnect after he wanders into her workplace. The only problem—he’s married to the ultra rich and well known New Yorker Nina Levitt. When Nina suddenly passes Tabitha thinks her problems are over, but in reality they’ve only just begun.

This was such a quick read; Great for the hot summer months when you just want to kind of put your mind in neutral and just roll with a book. There’s an intricate web of tangled relationships, big money, and even bigger secrets. While I liked the feel of the story and the summer mood, the book overall felt a bit like a soap opera. There were many instances where the character’s actions and use of language felt over dramatic. I was personally not a fan of that aspect and how it was threaded through much of the book. Even though this wasn’t my cup of tea, I do think a lot of romance and mystery readers will like it.

Thank you St. Martin’s Press for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book kept me interested throughout, but something about the story line felt unbelievable. Tabitha's love for Conner felt exaggerated and fake towards the end of the book.

The Wife Who Knew Too Much, by Michele Campbell, is definitely one of those books that you can't put down. It captures your attention and immediately draws you into the story from the first page. The pace is perfect for a story with twists and turns, and you find yourself wanting to continue to read to see what will happen next. This is a book with many facets: a love story / mystery / tragedy. The leading lady, Tabby, is a woman whose life has been dealt some unfair blows, but those times have only made her a stronger woman. We want to see her finally receive something she desires and deserves in life. While she longs to believe in the faithfulness of Connor, our painfully handsome leading man, she holds back knowing she must seek the truth in order to freely accept and enjoy the love he professes to have for her. In most books I usually can figure out the "true culprit". This book, however, kept me guessing until the end. Michele has written a great suspense thriller that will keep you turning the pages. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a great suspense/thriller, it will not disappoint! (I was given a copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest opinion. I can say without hesitation that I would have gladly paid to read this book—yes, it is that good!)

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of The Wife Who Knew Too Much.

Overall, I did really enjoy this book. This is the 4th Michele Campbell book I've read and while I did enjoy it, I do tend to find her books a little too predictable for me. Tabitha is a small town girl living pay check to pay check as a waitress when Connor Ford walks back into her life. Connor had walked out years ago when they'd had a summer fling, but now he is back and wants to rekindle their love affair. The problem, is that he's married to the rich and powerful Nina Levitt. Connor swears he plans to divorce Nina but due to a prenup there may be some difficulty doing that because it would leave him with nothing. Until Nina's body is found the day after her 4th of July party floating in her pool. Everything points to suicide, except the note that Nina wrote the night before implying that if something were to happen to her, it was at the hands of her husband and "her". But who is "her"? Is it Tabitha or is Connor having an affair with yet another woman? I have to say 2 things... First, the title of this book is PERFECT because Nina really is the wife who knew too much. I mean, she knew EVERYTHING! It just took some time for us, the reader, to figure out what she already knew. Second, there is no way the title of this book could be referring to Tabitha. This woman is clueless! Maybe it's the "avid reader of psychological thrillers" in me that makes me doubt peoples' intentions but how could Tabitha have not seen a lot of this coming??? I found myself at times shaking my head that she was able to let Connor deceive her the ways he did, but maybe it's true what they say... love really is blind!

Great book. I did like the author’s previous book, It’s Always The Husband better, but this was still a good book. Got a bit confusing at times, going back in time but still a great suspense read.

I am giving this book 3.5 stars, in my eyes, it was a good thriller I was just expecting a bit more. This book comes in at around 350 pages (kindle edition) and I felt like I was skipping over some parts in the middle to get to the end to find out what happened. The first 100 pages or so had me hooked. We learn of a high profile death and then we jump into a whole different narrative and follow Tabitha who has a unique connection to the recently deceased. As mentioned, the middle chunk was just alright for me, but the ending really had me hooked on again! The clever twist at the end brought me fully on board.

I felt no real connection to Tabitha, and feel like this was one of the reasons why I wasn’t fully captivated. At times I found her a tad selfish and didn’t understand the thought process behind many of her decisions. !!!(SPOILER)!!! At one point, we find out that Tabitha is pregnant and in the next chapter find out she has married Connor who was the husband of Nina who was murdered.

Ultimately I think this is great if you’re looking for a fast/light read (perfect vacation read), we are left with a twist at the end that left me shocked. I’m glad I was given the chance to read it, and know that many readers will LOVE it!
