This was brilliant, tense and thrilling and keeps you turning the pages to see what will happen. Plenty of shocks and twists. Great!
Overall, this was an enjoyable book that kept me guessing! The plot twists and turns were definitely surprising, with more and more secrets revealed in each one. I suspected almost every character and thought I had it figured out multiple times, but still did not at all expect the ending! Some parts did feel a little slow, but for the most part, this book had good suspense, held my attention, and kept me engaged. This was my first read by AJ Campell, and I would definitely read other books by this author! I do wish there was maybe one more epilogue chapter to wrap the ending up a little more, but that is just personal preference.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the privilege of reading and reviewing this ARC copy!

I love and adore this author and will read anything she writes...I don't even need a synopsis. Buckle up for her upcoming release because it's one wild ride filled with deception, heartbreak, and betrayal.
Christina is driving home after a night out with her brother, and the weather is horrific. I hate driving in the rain, and my anxiety levels were already up within the first few pages. Christina is a cautious driver who is paying attention to the road when she feels a sickening thump. Terrified she's hit an animal that is now lying in pain, she gets out of the car but sees nothing. Despite her misgivings, she drives back home, worrying the entire way. Soon after she gets home, the police arrive at her door to deliver the shocking news that her husband Michael has been the victim of a hit and run and is in the hospital in dire condition.

The narrative that the author weaves is filled with so much drama, yet the story doesn't read like a soap opera. Christina, fearing legal repercussions, keeps quiet about her accident, but the guilt worsens each day. When she starts to investigate why Michael would be walking on the side of the road in the rain when he was supposed to be home, she finds things that only create more questions. Did she marry a stranger full of secrets, or is she creating ominous scenarios where none exist? Emotions run high with this thriller, and the big reveal will leave you stunned!
Thank you so much to Bookouture and the author for inviting me to review this book that will release May 29, 2024.
I really enjoyed this book! I was surprised by the twists and turns. Just when I thought I had it figured out, something else happened. The title was interesting for most of the plot, but it was valid. Overall, a 4/5 star read!
A couple with a seemingly perfect marriage, Christina feels that Michael has somehow changed, and is unhappy about it. But would that be enough to kill him? The plot twists and turns, more and more secrets are revealed, and can family and friends be trusted at all?
I suspected each character in turn, and changed my mind frequently, and still did not see the ending coming.
I finished this book in one sitting, staying up late, as I HAD to know the ending.
A brilliant read.
Always love AJC books! This one kept me guessing until the very end. Couldnβt put it down! Character development was fantastic.
The story had some good twists but for the most part it dragged on. I ended up skimming the last half of the book. I didn't care for the writing style. It had a lot more telling than showing.
A.J. Campbell has done it again! I have devoured this book in less than 24hrs and in my opinion that says it all!
Filled with tension, twists and turns throughout. I thought I had it figured out but I should know better when reading one of Amandaβs books.
Go read itβ¦NOW!
I really loved this book it had suspense and a lot of liars between the characters It felt scary and was wondering if this could happen to someone or me at times the story felt slow but it did pick up towards the end
would have liked more descriptive on more about the family and what they did and more emotion
loved it can not wait for next novel
AJ Campbellβs βDid I kill my husband?β is a psychological thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Chrissy is driving through a storm when she hits something with her carβ¦ Little does she know that it will turn her whole life upside downβ¦
I binged this book, reading the whole thing in one evening. I just couldnβt put it down. I was suspicious of every character, and multiple times thought I had figured it all out, but how wrong was I?! The final twist really surprised me. I was shocked! Well written, engaging and twisty - a true nail biter.
This is my first AJ Campbell read, but Iβll definitely be reading more, ASAP!
Wow! What a thrilling story. I thought for sure I had predicted the end of this book, but nope! What a crazy story. Iβm so pleased! This is a new author to me but Iβm learning A.J Campbell is a good one!
I think AJ Campbell is the best a fast paced quick read thrillers. She has such a knack for this that I read every book in one sitting. Love her and this book!!

I love thrillers and enjoy trying to figure out whodunit ~sometime I am real close! ~ But I was way off on this one.
It was a quick read
Although this is AJ (Amanda) Campbell sixth psychological thriller it was only my second.
In About the Author β We are told she draws inspiration for her stories from seemingly unbelievable situations in which ordinary people find themselves. She creates compelling characters that resonate with her readers.
AJ lives in the UK with her husband, sons, and cocker spaniel,
In her βA Letter from AJ Campbellβ she tells us she is often where she gets her ides. In this case she when she read an article in the paper about a hit-and-run in her local paper. She got her thinking if they were sorry β could they be forgiven? This started her creative mind.
Want to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for this early eGalley.

He was once cleared of a scandal at the school where he works but it begins to see he actually was guilty of that and other secrets.
Christina also has her own closed of secrets that she can't let out.
Is it best if her husband dies rather than living and taking the family down with the revelation of his deepest secret.
This was a don't put me down book. It read quickly and pulls the reader in so that the mind becomes focused solely on the story.
Donβt say it, donβt say it, donβt say itβ¦β¦.. my favourite book by the author so far!!
God this book, the twist was mindblowing and so unexpected, I was suspicious of EVERYONE, even good old Glenda the nurse at one point π
Alongside the main plot, there were so many other stories, secrets, deceitfulness, grooming, health, moody teens and a 1st husband who needs a second chance. The author always gives so much to her readers, lots to dissect and unravel.
Pre-order now, this is a book not to be missed!

Did I Kill My Husband? by AJ Campbell is an absolutely addictive and suspenseful psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist! That twist!!! I gasped out loud "Oh NO!"
This thriller grabbed me from the first page! It was so easy to connect with the story and characters!
I absolutely loved the dynamics between Christina and Ted! If you want a brother you want one like Ted!
When Christina hit something with her car she was positive it was an animal. The weather is horrible and is pitch black and she can't see anything so she leaves... When police officers knock on her door and inform her that her husband Michael is in the hospital fighting for his life she is terrified. There is a high possibility that she is behind the hit-and-run!
The question is - what to do now? The better question is - what the hell was Michael doing on that road in time when he was supposed to be at home looking after children?
Christina wasn't ready for so many secrets buried behind her husband's back but who is she to judge?
Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture for this copy! I highly recommend it to everyone who loves fast-paced pageturners!
Wow just wow, fast pacing keeps you guessing and even when you think you've cracked it you haven't. Highly reccomened. Another great book by AJ Campbell!
Another fantastic book by AJ Campbell. I really enjoyed reading this one, waiting impatiently to find out when the gripping storyline with unfold.
Christina is driving home one night after a drink at the pub with her brother, on her way home her car hits something. She checks outside around the car, but when she couldn't see anything she assumed the animal had run off. Little did she know, it wasn't an animal she hit. It tears Christina apart keeping her secret when the truth comes out, but little does she know her husband is keeping some secrets too!
I found this book hard to put down, unpredictable and really enjoyable to read.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Hands down my favourite book yet. The grip this book had on me was tight. As with all of Amanda's books they are fast paced and really do capture you from page 1 but this was next level.
When she said to me that this was her biggest twist yet, she wasn't kidding and my guesses were nowhere near. Simply brilliant.
If you haven't guessed already I'm a big fan and I'm already excited for the next book to come.

In this book we follow Christina, who is driving home one night in terrible weather and suddenly runs over something. She doesnβt see anything when she gets out of her car, assumes it was an animal that ran away, and heads home.
So when the police knock on her door and break the news that her husband has been hit by a car, she panics and doesnβt know what to do.
I really enjoyed this book! Iβm a big fan of super short chapters and this one was laid out perfectly. It has tons of suspense, and while I did somehow figure out the big twist towards the end, I fully chalk that up to me reading an absolute ton of thriller booksβ¦ I can absolutely see many readers not knowing what would happen. It was a great read that I stayed up late to finish, and I will absolutely recommend to all thriller fans!
Thanks so much to NetGalley and Bookouture for my advanced copy!
