Tabitha and Conner had a whirlwind of an ill-advised romance one summer when they were teenagers. She was working at a country club, while he was a member, and the fates were against their unequal match.
It's been years since that wonderful summer, and although Tabitha is in much the same place as she was then, Conner has moved on to bigger and better things - namely Nina Levitt, his glamorous millionaire wife.
When a chance encounter brings Conner and Tabitha back together again, it looks like the fates might just be in their favour this time. Tabby is ready for a new life, and Conner isn't as happy as the tabloids make him appear. When Nina is found dead after her famous 4th of July party, this may be the opportunity the star-crossed lovers have been waiting for, or it may be a treacherous web, waiting to tighten around them.
I was not instantly enthusiastic about this book when I read the description, but within a couple of pages I was drawn in. I somehow got the idea right off that this would be mostly from Nina's perspective, with lots of fear suspicion and anger. I was therefore pleasantly surprised when the story took an immediate turn, to the perspective of Tabitha. Hearing hers and Conner's side of the story made the whole thing shift into a different type of story.
I didn't always like Tabitha, but actually that is a positive for me. She was relatable, but she was also not a completely great person, and she wasn't always terribly clever. I get fed up in stories like this when the protagonist is perfect, because they inevitably become very two dimensional.
I had no problem getting through this book, it was a page turner all the way through, even when it hit predictable story arcs. The middle to end of the book felt a little sloppy from a writing perspective, and as I say fairly predictable.
I enjoyed the Rebecca vibes when Tabitha moved into Windswept, but I also felt they were a little out of place. It felt like maybe the author had wanted to write a modern gothic, but shied away from it a little to much to commit, and muddied the genres a fraction too much.
Another book this reminded me of was The Ghost of Hearts-Hope: A Ghostly Story of Love and Loss, which was a small publication that I read a few years back through Netgalley. That was more committed to the gothic setting, but similarly mixed genres.
Overall I enjoyed The Wife Who Knew Too Much. The characters were well thought out for the most part, and the story, though predictable in places, had fun twists and turns that I wasn't expecting. I would recommend this to fans of Megan Miranda.
