The Wife Who Knew Too Much by Michele Campbell
The story starts with Nina writing in her diary that if something happens to her, her husband Conner and the woman he was sleeping with are behind it. Then we see a news article in which Nina has died. Tabitha knew Conner when she 17, he was her first love so imagine her surprise when he walks into her bar all these years later. She knows it wrong, and he is married but she is completely taken with him again.
They end up together briefly and Tabitha knows it is all wrong, but is totally shocked when she turns up pregnant. She tries to get a hold of him, and ends up driving up to Windswept to see him in person. However, her crazy ex crashes the party because he has been following her and she is devastated to see Conner with Nina. She knows they can't be together so she makes the decision to leave. When she wakes up the next day she is shocked to find out that his wife Nina was found in the pool and it is believed that she committed suicide.
She finally is able to talk to Conner and he tells her they must wait a year because it will cause too many issues if they are together too soon, but all of that changes when she tells him about the baby. Soon she is married and caught up in a whirlwind life change. It isn't too long before the police come knocking and she finds herself entangled in a mystery surrounding Nina's death.
Overall I loved this, I was sucked in and couldn't put this down. I did figure some things out before the reveal and I was wrong on some things. Although I have some different thoughts in general about Conner and the way the author ended that, but I won't say too much about it because I don't like to spoil things. So I will say that I found Tabitha a little young acting for her age in the book although that wasn't super clear, and way to willing to overlook massive red flags in my opinion. Conner was charming and slick, but honestly not very likable.
