This book was entertaining, don't get me wrong. It was an easy and quick read that kept my attention and kept me turning the pages... That being said, the twists and turns were wholly predictable. Worst of all? The plot could not have been more unrealistic! I absolutely love a good twist but I just can't get on board a story that is so unbelievable.

Not my first Michele Campbell and won't be my last. Will definitely give her another chance in hopes that she reins it in just a little.

Hooked from the start. Heart racing. Dinner was late because I needed to finish it. My kind of book. I would have given it more stars but the ending let the wind out.

This is my 3rd book by Michele Campbell and holy cow, you've got to pay close attention so you don't get lost (or at least I did). I found myself getting a bit confused but I kept pushing onwards. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this early release in exchange for my honest review.

I was really looking forward to reading Michelle Campbell’s new novel, The Wife Who Knew Too Much.

This one immediately sucked me in and I knew I wouldn’t be doing much until I was able to finish this. The story starts off from the wife’s perspective, Nina and then quickly shifts to setting up the backstory between Tabby and Connor. I loved the sweet history we learned between them that they shared as young teenagers. Shortly after that, the story takes off and it just seems like one bad decision after another between Connor and Tabby’s actions, sometimes it felt a little over the top but it just become like a train wreck that you just can’t take your eyes off. Nina’s perspective comes into play more so later in the book and adds interesting twists. Michele Campbell is definitely one of my automatic read authors and I really enjoyed this one. This will be a great summer read as it’s easily readable and has a propulsive plot to keep you reading.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Summary:

Tabitha Girard had a summer romance when she was a teenager with a rich, handsome local boy named Connor Ford.

Years later, Tabitha has recovered from a failed and tumultuous marriage, and she is now trying to get her life together by holding down a waitress job. One day Connor walks in while she is waitressing, and Tabitha falls in love again when she sees him. Tabitha knows all about his famous marriage to an older, wealthy woman.

After Connor’s wife takes her own life, he tells Tabitha that they can finally be together. It is just like a soap opera with a happy ending for Tabitha. She finally has money, a handsome husband, and a beautiful home. But is it really a happy ending?

My Thoughts:

Michele Campbell is one of my favorite authors! I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book will be out June 9, 2020, and I definitely think this will be a hit novel for the summer of 2020. It has everything a great summer novel should have: scandal, romance, wealth, and mystery!

Make sure you pick up a copy in June!!

Connor is married to the wealthy Nina, but then he suddenly appears back into the life of a past flame, Tabitha, and they reconnect. And then, as fate would have it, Nina commits suicide, allowing Connor to be with Tabitha and make her his new wife. But did Nina really commit suicide?

Tabitha is taken on a roller coaster ride through the whole book, and it’s a totally thrilling one! She is rushed into moving into the huge house and life of the deceased Nina, with no way to know who to trust.

It was superbly interesting reading from both of the wives of the mysteriously wealthy Connor Ford’s POV’s and I loved, loved, loved this book! It totally gripped me from the first few pages and kept me reading.

The author quotes a proverb at the end of the being acknowledgements and it is just perfect • “When you run with the wolves, don’t trip.”

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s and Michele Campbell for this super fun ARC!

Thank you #Netgalley for the advanced copy of the book!

Wow! This one kept you on your toes throughout the whole book! This was a very fast paced read following the lives of Connor, Tabitha and Nina. Though I may not have agreed with Tabitha's actions, I enjoyed the plot twists and characters.

Do you ever really know someone? I loved the beginning of this thriller when Connor and Tabitha were young and in love from opposite social strata at their small New England country club. While I enjoyed the twists and turns this took, it got slightly muddled at the end. Nonetheless it was a page turned and I could not put it down.

Don’t ALL women know too much :). This was a fantastic story that spanned a couples history (even if they weren’t really a couple growing up), and shows that sometimes time makes memories happier and more joyful than the real day to day time spent together. A really great and quick read - highly recommend!

Nina Levitt finds herself in a quandary. Since her husband had passed away, she was now in charge of the Levitts Global. She was getting ready for her usual yearly Fourth of July Party. It seemed to be going very well, when she noticed a very handsome charismatic young man speaking with Lauren, the head of her PR Department. Lauren introduced her to Conner. Conner escorted Nina to the bar. They received their drinks and walked on the beach. Nina was worried what her guests would think about the age difference between her and Conner. Eventually they married. Nina was smart enough to do a prenup before they were married. Is Conner a gold digger? Everyone thinks he is. There seems to be more to Conner than what Nina knows. Conner finds his girlfriend, Tabitha, from many years ago in New Hampshire. They begin to see each other again. Will Nina find out that he’s cheating on her already? Will she divorce him because of the prenup? Will Conner tell Nina about his live for Tabitha, or will he continue to use Nina for all her wealth, the yacht, the jet, the helicopter, and the grand life of wealth? Nina trust her staff? She’s not sure if she can. How does Tabitha fit into his life? What’s Tabitha’s secret? Will she be able to tell Conner her secret? Will her secret destroy the love they’ve found all over again? Will Nina find out about Conner and Tabitha’s relationship? How will this affect Nina’s and Conner’s marriage. How will this affect Conner’s Executive position at Levitt Global? The plot really evolved quickly in this book. Every time I thought I had it figured out, the author would change course. What a roller coaster ride this book was. There is even a hint of suicide or could it be murder? The author’s writing style was great. The plot was easy to follow, and the description of the locations, made it very real for the reader. This book was definitely a psychological thriller for sure. There were so many twists and turns to keep the readers total attention. I loved the way she weaved the character development throughout the story. The ending was definitely not what I expected; it was even better than I had imagined. I don’t want to spoil this book for anyone, you will not be disappointed if you read this book. I will be looking forward to the next book, that’s for sure.

Wow, Michelle Campbell knocks another one out of the park with her newest thriller!

Nina, both famous and wealthy, is found dead as a result of an accidental drowning. But was it an accident? Nina leaves a letter stating that her husband, Connor, was having an affair and wanted to kill her. After dealing with her first unfaithful husband, is Nina being paranoid about Connor? If Nina learns Connor was unfaithful, he won’t get any money. However, he will $10 million, if they divorce for other reasons. Lies, betrayals and secrets… who is telling the truth? How well do you really know someone?

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good thriller.

Another great novel!!! Full of suspense and intrigue!! Michele Campbell always knocks it out of the park and I love reading her books.

This was a good thriller/mystery. The story unfolded nicely and held my interest throughout. I became a little irritated with the naïveté of the main character at times. Connor’s character was also stereotypical in a lot of ways and there were small parts of his story that still didn’t make sense by the end of the book. Overall, I enjoyed the book and it was a quick read.

I’ve read and loved all of Michele Campbell books and this latest thriller does not disappoint! Rich, flawed characters drive this twisted tale of greed, passion, deceit and murder.

I really enjoyed last summer’s A Stranger on the Beach by Michele Campbell, so when I saw that The Wife Who Knew Too Much was coming out this year, I instantly wanted to read it. And thanks to NetGalley I was able to get an early copy.

At first I was a bit concerned. Tabitha was driving me crazy with her relationship with Connor. I could handle the young love, but the affair when they were older was getting on my nerves. I wanted a strong woman who didn’t turn into a needy one. I wasn’t thinking of not finishing because I really wanted to see where this would lead, but I was very happy when at about the 20% point it started to pick up. And although it took Tabitha a bit longer still to start fighting for her life, when she did, I was really rooting for her!

Campbell wrote another great novel with lots of twists and a couple of surprises. I did not guess the ending early, which I always love. I really enjoyed how everything tied up and am looking forward to her next book. If you’re looking for a great beach read, you’ll definitely want to pick up The Wife Who Knew too Much!

Thank you net galley for an arc of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This definitely got me hooked on page one and kept me hooked through the end.

We have Connor and Tabitha who have a quick summer fling that leaves them dealing when it's over. Connor goes on to marry his wife Nina and start living out their married life. FF to present day and Tabitha is still stuck in the same job and the same place she was many years ago. To her surprise Connor runs into her at her workplace and the embers are still burning. Connor explains that his current marriage isn't one of love but for money. Connor swears Tabitha was and always has been his truck love.

Tabitha thinks life is changing after Nina kills herself, her and Connor can now live the life they were destined to have. Everything is going great until Tabitha finds a diary of Nina's saying if anything happens to her Connor and "she" did it.

From this point on the whole story is a web of lies and confusion as Tabitha must unravel who Connor really is and what was really going on behind closed doors.

I loved that this book was so twisty and dark. I lived the diary entries. I loved it all!

Connor and Tabitha had been involved one summer when they were teenagers. They went their separate ways and met years later . Connor is rich and Tabitha is not. When Connor’s wife, Nina takes her own life, Connor sees the chance to be with Tabitha who he loves. Tabitha finds Nina’s diary and becomes suspicious about her death.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book reads like a bad soap opera. If something can go wrong, it will. There is also some language which is not appealing to me. But the book itself is well written and kept my attention. Without giving too much away, Tabitha enters the cafe she waitresses for one evening and her life is turned upside down.
The author did a very good job of adding yet another layer of trouble and mystery just as the current situation is settling down. Even though the experiences seem unbelievable, it all makes sense of how the series of events that take over Tabitha's life could really happen to someone.

This book was so great and the thing I liked most is that there was never a lull. I was never bored or felt like it was taking too long to get the point across. It was such a well-thought out story and I can’t wait to buy the physical copy when it comes out.

The Wife Who Knew Too Much is an outstanding read. The characters are skillfully written and come alive in this complex story of murder and betrayal. The story begins with a diary entry from a rich and powerful woman who believes her much younger husband is planning to kill her. I was so engrossed with the story of young Tabitha and Connor, I never gave another thought to the diary entry.

I enjoyed every moment of this book. It' definitely deserves a five star rating. I received an Advanced Reader's Copy from Saint Martin's Press through NetGalley. The opinions expressed are entirely my own.
