Dipping my toe into the Michele Campbell universe, I was so happy to receive this one to read in advance. The tale is told between the person who dies, Nine, and the main character, Tabitha. Nina is writing in her diary, revealing her suspicions about who may be trying to kill her. Tabitha, reuniting with her ex-boyfriend, is swept into the chaos that surrounds Nina’s carefully built life.
I really loved the ride on this book. The characters were deep and complex, where you truly questioned their motives and all the things that do not get revealed until the end. It kept me engaged and was one of my quicker reads this summer!

Small Summary:
Tabitha Girard had her heart broken years ago by Connor Ford. He was preppy and handsome. She was a pool girl at his country club. Their affair should have been a summer fling. But it meant everything to Tabitha.
Years later, Connor comes back into Tabitha’s life—older, richer, and desperately unhappy. He married for money, a wealthy, neurotic, controlling woman whom he never loved. He has always loved Tabitha.
When Connor’s wife Nina takes her own life, he’s free. He can finally be with Tabitha. Nina’s home, Windswept, can be theirs. It seems to be a perfect ending to a fairy tale romance that began so many years ago. But then, Tabitha finds a diary. “I’m writing this to raise an alarm in the event of my untimely death,” it begins. “If I die unexpectedly, it was foul play, and Connor was behind it. Connor—and her.”
Who is Connor Ford? Why did he marry Nina? Is Tabitha his true love, or a convenient affair? As the police investigate Nina’s death, is she a convenient suspect?
As Tabitha is drawn deeper into the dark glamour of a life she is ill-prepared for, it becomes clear to her that what a wife knows can kill her.
