As Far As She Knew – Diana Awad (1)

“I don’t know. What we do know for sure is that Ali didn’t brake before he hit that tree. It’s plausible he crashed because the drug made him pass out.” “Could he have taken a Xanax by accident?” I grasped for an answer that computed. “Maybe he wanted a pain reliever for a bad headache or something and someone gave him Xanax by mistake.” “Until we know more, it’s better that I be present whenever you talk to the police,” Nasser said.

“Ali was something of a local celebrity. I’m guessing the police want to do their due diligence in the event the tox report gets leaked. The reporters at Ali’s TV station would be all over the story if foul play is suspected.” It was only later that I was able to process what Nasser didn’t want to tell me outright.

That if someone drugged Ali right before he got behind the wheel, his death might soon be investigated as a homicide. It wouldn’t be long before the police went looking for suspects. And anyone who watches detective shows knows that the first person they look at is the wife. I drove straight to the kids’ school right after Nasser and the detectives left. I might not be able to protect my children from the truth, but they deserved to at least hear it directly from me.

Before leaving, I stopped to gas up, absentmindedly scanning the other cars at the pumps while I filled my tank and wondered how to tell Ayla and Adam that their dad had a strange drug in his system when he died. Naturally, I was especially concerned about how Ayla would take the news. My gaze landed on a vintage-looking sports car. What drew my attention was its burnt-orange color.

When I was little, my parents drove a station wagon in that same vibrant shade. People used to compliment the color all the time. I briefly wondered why manufacturers stopped making cars in fun colors.

If you love suspenseful domestic thrillers that also pack an emotional punch, As Far as She Knew is the perfect read for you. Let me set the scene: Imagine discovering that your marriage of twenty-three years—a marriage you believed was rock solid—was built on lies. That’s exactly what happens to Amira Abadi when her husband suddenly dies, and she finds out about a house she never knew existed. But that’s just the beginning. What I love most about this book is how it goes beyond the typical thriller formula.
