Thank you Harper Collins and Darby Kane for an advance copy of What the Wife Knew. As a Pulse influencer, I had the opportunity to give this domestic thriller a go before its December release.
The story gives you a little bit of everything: a scorned ex-wife, stepchildren caught in the middle, toxic relationships, old money, a whodunnit and more. This one was a slow burn, but had several twists that I did not see coming. I wish the ending didn’t feel so rushed, but overall, a solid 4-star thriller to add to your TBR for later this year or early 2025!
