I was looking for a quick page turner for the summer and that much was delivered, A bit of whiplash with the speedy turn of plot twists that weren't all that mysterious. Overall this was an okay read for me.

I am sorry for not reviewing fully but I don’t have the time to read this at the moment. I believe that it wouldn't benefit you as a publisher or your book if I only skimmed it and wrote a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for not fully reviewing!

WOW... This book was a wild ride and I did not want to put it down.

This is a thriller. The main person we follow in this book is Tabitha. In this book we are trying to figure out who killed a very rich woman named Nina. Nina was married to Connor who is Tabitha new husband when she was killed. I am not going to say anything else about the plot, so I do not give anything away. The twist and turn kept me on the edged of my sit. I really did not guess any of them, but I guess part of one. Wow... My head is still spinning thinking of the ending because it was so good. I love this book so much. If you love family drama thrillers you may love this one. It starts out slow, but it picks up the pace very fast. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher or author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have since purchased a copy of this book and will be reading at my own pace. Michelle has become an auto buy author and is one of my favorite thriller authors.

This was a fun thriller and the short chapters made this a fast read. It had all the best elements, betrayal, death, drama, and love. As the story went on, I found it a bit too extra, some parts were unbelievable however, it didn’t take away from the plot too much. The story is told by Tabitha, and a few short chapters by Nina, which all pointed in one direction, until the dramatic twist… which was shocking! Overall, it’s a great, fast paced thriller!

The Wife Who Knew Too Much follows the story of Connor Ford and Tabitha. I wont say more. You find out a lot of info early on that explains it better than I could.

I enjoyed this story very much. The twists were raw and believable. The characters were hard to love but easy to root for. The only problem I had with this one was that the obsession/ paranoia of some of the character seemed a tad bit unrealistic. I really like Tabitha has a character at the end. In the beginning, I really disliked her but, as the story progressed. She grew on me. I thought that the way in which the story was written was very well done. I liked the description of each part of the story and the settings they took place in. Overall, I thought this was a very entertaining book that held my attention and enjoyed it.

This book starts with a bang. A diary entry that says if she dies it’s her husband.
.
Who is the husband? Connor Ford is handsome, charismatic and secretive.
.
The first Mrs. Ford is one of the most beautiful, wealthiest accomplished women in the Hamptons and married to Connor who is significantly younger.
.
The second Mrs. Ford loved Connor as a teenager when she worked at the club his family belonged to. When she sees Connor ten years later she is still in the same town as a waitress. It isn’t long before they rekindle their love and are quickly married.
.
What happened to the first Mrs. Ford? Money, jealousy, love and prestige set the stage in a summer set among mansions, the water and glittering parties.

I enjoyed the mysterious characters in this book- why these women got involved with Connor is beyond me! I always enjoy the different points of view from the characters and this one was well done. The transitions were easy and it was well written. I was surprised by who did it! That is always a plus!

I've read a previous book from this author, Michele Campbell, that I really enjoyed for the most part, but had some very specific issues with it. So when I saw The Wife Who Knew Too Much, I was intrigued but hesitant. I'm glad I gave her a second chance and picked this up because it was SO GOOD.

Tabitha ends up re-connecting with a boyfriend from her teens and all of the love and emotion is still there between the two of them. Luckily, (or not), Conner's wife dies so they could be together. Good deal, right? Not at all. So many different things come to light that spells out T-R-O-U-B-L-E for Tabitha.

This book really had me going. It's definitely a suspenseful thriller. It's also the type of thriller where you don't really see the twist coming, but it's not a twist that comes fully out of left field. The twist makes sense and really ties it all up. I was a big fan of this one. 4.75 stars.

3.5 rounded up I loved parts of this book and I hated parts of this book. The ending drove me crazy and it was a bit all over the place but I did enjoy the pace and it definitely kept my attention because I wanted to know what was going on. Some good twists but the ending kind of ruined it

This is a story of love, greed, and secrets. It’s obvious from the start that there are some characters who are hiding A LOT. I kept figuring out reveals just before they happened, but that didn’t take away from my enjoyment. I would have liked to hear more from Ninas perspective, though it probably struck the right balance as to the focus. Many of the characters were highly unlikeable, so it really does offer a lot of possibilities as to the villain! A quick, enjoyable thriller. Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for the complimentary digital review copy of this title!

In this psychological thriller, Nina is the first Mrs. Ford. She is extremely wealthy and highly suspicious of her husband, Connor. She is so suspicious that she writes a letter in case she is found dead of an apparent suicide, pointing authorities to her husband and his girlfriend.
Tabby is a small-town girl. She and Connor had met when she was seventeen while she was working on his grandmother’s estate. Much to the chagrin of his grandmother and Tabitha’s grandmother, they had a fling until a stop was put to it.

Years later, Tabitha is a waitress. Who walks into the restaurant she works at? Connor. She has never forgotten him. And apparently, he has never forgotten her either. It doesn’t take long for them to fall into each other’s arms, and she becomes the other woman.

Before long, Nina is dead of an apparent suicide, drowning herself in the pool. Tabitha becomes the new Mrs. Ford and is plunged into a world of massive wealth and luxury. Things happen that cause her to doubt Connor, things that make her think the first Mrs. Ford’s death wasn’t suicide. Things that make her think maybe Connor pushed her into that pool. Her fairy-tale world has become more like a tale of horror. Her dream of being with Connor forever has become a nightmare where she is afraid for her own life.

Some people will do anything for love, anything for money. Some will kill for it. Is Connor deceiving Nina, or is it someone else?

If you like a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat, you will love this book.

To the world in general, it appeared Nina Levitt had it all. She was fabulously wealthy, thanks to her first husband, and had remarried, to a younger, more handsome man that worked in her organization. But after one of her legendary July Fourth parties at Windswept, Nina was found dead, drowned in the swimming pool at her estate, and several suspects were being investigated.

Connor Ford was definitely in over his head. After marrying Nina several years earlier, Connor’s life had changed drastically, and not just because of the terms of the prenup Nina had had him sign. He was painfully aware that if he was found to be unfaithful or if he left Nina, he would lose everything.

Tabitha Girard had fallen in love with Connor years before, when she was just seventeen. She was stunned when Connor came into the restaurant where she was waitressing, and once again, swept her off her feet. Soon realizing she was pregnant; Tabitha went to Windswept during Nina’s July Fourth event to tell Connor face to face, since he was not returning her calls or texts.

Nina’s murder and Connor’s subsequent inheritance, followed quickly by Connor and Tabitha’s marriage and Tabitha’s move into Windswept, created a number of conflicts, and Tabitha’s arrest and brief incarceration made me wonder if she was somehow involved. There is romance, there are plot twists, there are characters who are not who they appear to be. I enjoyed this mystery, though I felt the underlying theme of Woman Being Saved from a Miserable Existence by a Wealthy Man has been used way too often.

I was provided with a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great thriller with twists and turns that I didn’t expect. While breadcrumbs were left to puzzle everything together, I was left guessing for much of the story.

Parts I didn’t full understand the characters choices, however overall I really enjoyed this book. It’s hard to find a unique way to present thrillers without it being trite and “The Wife Who Knew Too Much” avoids overused tropes. Captivating the readers attention to keep them rushing to the end.

I thought that this was Michelle Campbell's best book yet. This was book was a total page turner and left me thinking about the plot long after I finished. Stellar execution of an unreliable narrator.
