The Wife Who Knew Too Much by Michele Campbell is a novel of suspense. Publisher: St. Martin’s Press, coming July 28, 2020, updated release date.
From Michele Campbell, the bestselling author of It’s Always the Husband comes a new blockbuster thriller in The Wife Who Knew Too Much.
Tabitha Girard had her heart broken years ago by Connor Ford. He was preppy and handsome. She was a pool girl at his country club. Their affair should have been a summer fling. But it meant everything to Tabitha.
Years later, Connor comes back into Tabitha’s life—older, richer, and desperately unhappy. He married for money, a wealthy, neurotic, controlling woman whom he never loved. He has always loved Tabitha.
When Connor’s wife Nina takes her own life, he’s free. He can finally be with Tabitha. Nina’s home, Windswept, can be theirs. It seems to be a perfect ending to a fairy tale romance that began so many years ago. But then, Tabitha finds a diary. “I’m writing this to raise an alarm in the event of my untimely death,” it begins. “If I die unexpectedly, it was foul play, and Connor was behind it. Connor—and her.”
Who is Connor Ford? Why did he marry Nina? Is Tabitha his true love, or a convenient affair? As the police investigate Nina’s death, is she a convenient suspect?
As Tabitha is drawn deeper into the dark glamour of a life she is ill-prepared for, it becomes clear to her that what a wife knows can kill her.
Dru’s Musing:
This is another of Michele’s book that immediately grabbed my attention never letting go until the last page was read.
This gripping drama had me consumed by what was happening on the page and I tried to keep up with what the author intended. Boy was I ever wrong every time I thought I had a handle on the situation, the author pulled several cleverly strategic twists here and there that had me gasping as I didn’t know where else to turn. . . oh right, the next page.
When all was said and done, all I can say is “wow.” This is all a testament to a great writer who knows how to tell a riveting story.
