What Did the Wife Know?

What The Wife Knew, a new twisty thriller from Darby Kane (aka HelenKay Dimon), starts at a funeral and things get worse from there.

Due out on December 10, the story is about a wife wondering who tried to kill her husband twice before finally succeeding… because that was supposed to be her job. Her plan to marry Richmond then ruin him may have been derailed by his unexpected death, but she’s not done with him yet.

She has to survive long enough to prove that he was not what he seemed—a renowned pediatric surgeon, an infamous tragedy survivor, and a national hero. But someone is determined to make sure she doesn’t.
