"The police officer's voice is steady as he tells me the news. 'Your husband is in hospital.' My heart pounds. I think about my children, safely tucked up in bed. What will happen to us if he loses his life? And more importantly - do the police know where I really was tonight? Everybody thinks Michael and I are the perfect couple. But everybody is wrong. Because my dear, lovely husband was at the heart of a scandal at the school where he teaches. He was cleared of any wrongdoing. At first I believed him. Now, I'm sure he's been hiding something terrible. But I can't tell the police a thing. Because my husband isn't the only one with secrets. So, as I stand here knowing I have to tell my children that Michael is fighting for his life, I ask myself: what would be worse? For my husband, the much-loved local teacher, to die? Or for him to live, and for all his lies to come home again? In the end, the choice is easy. I know what I have to do... I'll tell the police that I would never, ever hurt my husband. But will they believe me?"--Publisher. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Her marriage is far from being happy. At the pub earlier that night, she’d been telling Fred just that. And it was the state of her union with Michael that was on her mind when she hit him. While the police don’t seem to suspect her of trying to kill her husband, all it would take was an eyewitness to put her behind bars. Running him down would look intentional. As a persistent detective investigates the accident and pursues Christina for answers, she begins an investigation of her own.
Why was her husband walking on such a rainy night? Where did he go, and who did he see? She thinks she knows. But is what Michael’s hiding as horrible as she imagines? Or is it even worse? In the meantime, Christina has secrets too — and someone’s threatening to expose her.
A propulsive, fast paced, gripping thriller, “Did I Kill My Husband?” by A.J. Campbell is literary quicksand with its power to pull you into the story — and keep you there. It’s always incredible to find a book so good that it makes you forget time and place. Yet, it’s a rush to find one that’s so well-written and captivating that you forget you’re reading. The story seems like it’s taking place in front of your eyes instead of on a page. “Did I Kill My Husband?” is that kind of book. It’s that kind of amazing.
With ultra short chapters, “Did I Kill My Husband?” is a quick, suspense-filled, engrossing read. The big twist that came toward the end was surprisingly one I didn’t see coming, probably because it involved a character I didn’t suspect of anything, including being interesting. I audibly gasped when Michael’s secrets involving this character were revealed.
What a story! Even the title is compelling. Did Christina kill her husband? I hoped it would turn out to be true throughout most of the book, but especially after that twist. It could have ended with that scene, and I’d have been left with my jaw dropped and my mind blown. Instead, the last few chapters have an epilogue feel to them, giving a conclusion to everything that happened. It’s a perfect ending for an unputdownable book.
“Did I Kill My Husband” is my second book by A.J. Campbell, and it’s concreted me as her fan. I can’t wait to read more. ( )
