The Wife Who Knew Too Much

In Michele Campbell's The Wife Who Knew Too Much, this shocking new thriller is so dark and twisted, it would leave your head spinning by the ending. When Tabitha Girard met Connor Ford years ago, it was love at first sight.  But when other people, like her grandmother, warned her about him, she was already head over heels in love with him. And they broke up and went their separate ways. Years later, she met Connor at the restaurant she worked at as a waitress. They reconnected and restarted their love affair, though he was married to an older rich woman he didn't love. They had to keep their reunion under wraps since he planned to leave his wife for her. But then things had hit a snag. Tabitha discovered about  her pregnancy ,and planned to tell him on Nina's 4th of July party--the same night when her ex stalked her, someone tried to run her off the road, and then Nina drowned in her pool. Shortly after her death, she married Connor and lived the glamorous life to travel to UAE for work. But when she arrived in Windswept, she learned how she was the outsider and how Nina's staff had appeared unwelcoming to her. Caught in a media blitz with the press, people pointed her out as the killer, putting additional pressure when the police came swarming in interview and later arrest her. To prove her innocence and Connor's,  she would have to find out who had it in them and why... in a life-and death battle in the end.

This was another shocking thriller that had plenty of twists and turns. I cared for Tabitha and the sordid messes she'd gotten herself into, when she was younger, and now years later. But we can see how much she cared and loved Connor, though she doubted him with a certain degree. Nina was a cold bitch we all love to have, though her staff didn't exactly worship the ground she walked on. Connor was torn and did tell the truth, though it might come too late. I didn't like Juliet much and despised her right in the end. I loved the dual locations between Dubai and good old NYC in the USA--very mesmerizing and awestruck for the scenic settings to transport us there. The theme is to be careful on who you trust and what you might know in the end.

If you love heart-stopping, twisted dark thrillers with a sucker-punch for drama, plenty of intense suspense, non-stop action, and a hint of mystery, pre-order The Wife Who Knew Too Much when it comes at the end of the month!

A Stranger on the Beach

In Michele Campbell's latest novel, A Stranger on the Beach, this thriller will grip you and take you on a wild ride. It all started when Caroline Stark spotted Aidan Callahan on the beach near her beach house, and when her husband Jason came into the housewarming party with his Russian girlfriend. But things aren't what they seemed when she accused him of cheating on her and he asked her to get a divorce for some strange reason. Shocked and dismayed, she goes to the Red Anchor Bar and seeks Aidan out as the bartender. After a couple of drinks, she teases him when he's fallen hard for her and began a temptous affair. He couldn't get her out of her mind and is smitten with her. He spent prison for involuntary manslaughter and tends the bar in his spare time. His brother is the chief of police. But he wants the beach house on his grandfather's land. But after a one-night stand, she cuts things off with him and whispers to him that he wants Jason dead.  Although he turned it down, things had gotten too far between them and their affairs. He follows her husband and her daughter and reports back to her on what he saw and heard. Before the hurricane, things got dicey and heated when there was a break-in at the house and her husband winds up dead. But after the storms, Aidan's charged with the crime and Caroline goes into hiding. But in the end, things don't add up with a shocking twisted ending you would never believe.

This was a spine-tingling and suspenseful thriller that would leave you at the edge of your seat.  I did care for Caroline in the beginning, but I didn't in the end. She had gotten what she had coming for her. I did feel bad for Aidan who was sucker-punched into this mess when he had fallen for her. I did feel bad for Hannah who was caught in the mess of this dilemma too. I did like New York as the locations and in and around the beach for the gripping scenic settings, even before and after the hurricane. This would keep you in suspense on every single turned page from start to finish and leave you at the edge of your seat with non-stop drama, plenty of mind-blowing action, tons of intrigue, and plenty of suspense to keep you hooked right to the end.

She Was the Quiet One

In Michele Campbell's She Was the Quiet One, this thriller is quite disturbing, twisted, and all shades of crazy. For fraternal twins Rose and Isabel "Bel" Enright, their grandmother sent them to a top-notch boarding school in Connecticut after their mother died.  They had been close and good friends, right until they stepped inside Odell Academy. Things had changed between them, when Bel hung out with the wrong crowd. Ever since they were a slipper attack against Rose and her roommate, it had caused a nasty rift between them, though Bel had been loopy from her pain medicine and had gotten off scot-free. But Bel had a secret crush with one of the nearest teachers that had lead to an infatuation and later a scandal. Besides Rose, other classmates were suspicious of her behavior and had caught off with their dirty secret. For Sarah Donovan, she thought she had a perfect marriage to Heath, her high school sweetheart, until he acted strangely to her and had an affair with Bel. But with more tension between Rose and Bel over the past couple of days, it had made other students hate Rose and gave her a hard time. As Bel took her affair to another level, someone knew about it and blackmailed the Donovans at the school--someone else other than Rose. And then later when Bel was killed in the woods, people blamed Rose and tried to frame it on her. She would do anything to prove her innocence when everyone was out to get her until she could convince someone else to take her side in the matter of life and death.

This was a well-done and well-written fascinating thriller that has its own dark side. I did feel sorry for Bel, who was caught up with the wrong crowd, and had gotten hurt--later killed--in the midst of it.  I did feel the most sorry for Rose, who wanted to do the right thing from the wrongs, even though it made her look like a pariah. I also did feel sorry for Sarah who had dealt with the most shocking things that fall, when she had to see Heath in a different light. I did love the vast locations in the Connecticut area, inside and outside the school with vivid imagery and compelling gripping scenes. This would make you hold on to your seat and to buckle up with a wild ride with non-stop action, intense drama, lots of intrigue and suspense on every page.
