Media Mania: As Far as She Knew by Diana Awad

 

This is  a new to me author - this book was in my Facebook feed and it looked interesting - I got the Audible version.

As Far as She Knew by  Diana Awad

For twenty-three years, Amira Abadi believed she had a strong, loving marriage. But when her husband, Ali, dies suddenly, that certainty shatters with the discovery of a house she never knew existed. As whispers of betrayal spread through their tight-knit Arab American community, Amira refuses to let others define her husband’s legacy—or her path forward.

Diving into an investigation of Ali’s final days, Amira uncovers decades-old secrets that challenge everything she thought she knew. With her children struggling to process their father’s death, Amira must balance protecting her family with pursuing the truth, even as each revelation brings her closer to danger.

As Amira peels back layers of lies, she discovers that the greatest mystery isn’t what her husband was hiding—it’s how far she’ll go to uncover the truth.

Last week this book was in my Facebook feed as new release thriller, I checked it out and decided on the Audible version.  

This is the authors first book in this genre,  I did enjoy it but I would NOT have put this in the thriller category as it was more suspenseful.  

The story was complicated and unfolded too slowly I thought due to a lot of filler. 

Overall I do give it 3 out of 5 Drinks!
