Nina Levitt thinks she is going to die.
Nina didn’t have much when she married Edward Levitt, one of the wealthiest men in Manhattan. He was a cheating bastard, but Nina stayed. And when he died, she got everything. She got the house, she got the wealth, and she got the board seat at his company. She was beautiful and stylish and rich. She could have had any man she wanted. She wanted Connor Ford.
Nina wasn’t stupid. She had him checked out by a private detective. And she got an airtight prenup. And she got married again, to a man decades younger but who she dearly loved. And now she thinks he’s trying to kill her.
Tabitha Girard had known Connor when they were teenagers. They spent the summer at the same country club. Tabitha was working, fetching sodas and towels by the pool. Connor was there because his grandmother was a member. Despite knowing how crazy it was, Tabitha sneaked out of the house to see him almost every night. It was a love like she’d never known and didn’t think she would ever find again. And she didn’t. Divorced, an arrest record, serving drinks at a dive bar, Tabitha was just trying to get by. Then Connor was seated at a table in her section, and her heart was soaring all over again.
He said he loved her and wanted her back, but his marriage to Nina gave him some loose ends he needed to tie up. And then Nina died, and Connor came back for Tabitha. But is that make for a fairy tale ending, or has Tabitha just stumbled into a nightmare marriage with a man who’s already killed one wife?
Master of suspense Michele Campbell is back with The Wife Who Knew Too Much. This twisted tale of secrets and lies, misinformation and manipulation will keep you turning those pages until you know for sure who did what. As you get closer to the end, you think you know who did it, and then it all changes, and you figure out who really did it. And then it all changes again.
I really enjoyed The Wife Who Knew Too Much, much like some of her previous books. Campbell always provides strong characters, a solid story, and enough thrills to take you away from all your daily cares. As a beach read or a sofa read or a bathtub read, The Wife Who Knew Too Much is an entertaining nail-biter that you’ll want to add to your TBR shelf!
