ARC Review: The Wife Who Knew Too Much

(Mood board on the left by me)

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.

Title: The Wife Who Knew Too Much

Author: Michele Campbell

Publication Date: July 28th, 2020

Genre: Psychological Suspense/Thriller

Recommended If You Like: Campbell's A Stranger on the Beach, unreliable everyone, a little bit of a Rebecca vibe

The Book:

The second Mrs. Ford feels like she's living in a fairy tale. Her first love has come back and swept her into a world of money and privilege. But the first Mrs. Ford had to die for Tabitha to live this life, and now Tabitha isn't so sure she believes the suicide theory her new husband has been assuring her is true.

What I Liked:

This is a very suspenseful book! I loved the way Campbell played with the damsel in distress, rescued by her first love, concept. Campbell has proven in both this and A Stranger on the Beach that she has a real talent for twisting common tropes. The gothic vibe once Tabitha moved in with her new husband was great, almost as if the house was alive and watching her. 

Anything I Didn't Like?

Because Campbell loves to play with twists and turns, the first part of the book sometimes read as a little predictable so as to set up the surprises. And I wanted to shake Tabitha out of what appeared to be her bad choices on a regular basis.

So...?

This was a really suspenseful read that I could not put down. Campbell seems to get better and better with each book written, and I'm excited to see what she writes next.
