Kelsey Ford: 10 Books That Celebrate Women’s Rights and Women’s Wrongs (0 comment)
Sure, women’s rights have come a long way over the last century, but for every step forward, it feels like we take a few back, and when that feeling is so consistent, so insidious? Man, it makes me want to support women’s wrongs. On this list, you’ll find books about women’s rights — Gloria Steinem, Barbara Ehrenreich, Mary Beard...

Synopsis

When a woman disappears with her two children, one husband will do anything to find them--even confront the secrets of his own past--in D. J. Palmer's My Wife Is Missing, a twisty thriller from the author of The New Husband...

Synopsis

Why did she run so suddenly? Why is he searching so desperately?

A family vacation turns into a nightmare for Michael Hart when he discovers his wife and two children have disappeared from their New York City hotel room. Horrified, he fears they've been kidnapped. Michael's frantic search to find them takes a shocking turn when he discovers that his wife, Natalie, appears to have left quite
willingly, taking their children with her. The police want to know why, and so does Michael. But there may be a reason why Natalie ran, something Michael can't tell the police--the truth about his past. While untangling his deceptions might be the key to locating Natalie, Michael knows it could also be his undoing. To find his wife, he must now turn to the one person capable of exposing all that he's been hiding.

Natalie thinks she has Michael all figured out and has hatched a plan to escape from
him permanently. One detail, though, threatens to derail her efforts: sleep--or more accurately, the lack of it. Since the moment the shocking revelations about her husband came to light, Natalie's
insomnia has worsened to the point that she now suffers from delusions. Are her fears about Michael valid--or a symptom of her condition?

With her children's lives at risk, the stakes for Natalie could not be higher. On her own, running low on energy and resources, avoiding increasingly close calls with Michael--who is on the hunt and closing in fast--Natalie needs someone to turn to for help. But who can she trust when she can't even trust herself?

My Wife Is Missing by D.J. Palmer is one of those books that combines family drama with psychological thriller. The novel starts with Michael returning with dinner to the family hotel room in New York City, only to find his wife and two young children have disappeared, leaving behind nothing but a cherished teddy bear. Telling you what happens after that would be impossible due to a plot that has so many subplots that you must read this book for yourself. My Wife Is Missing will take you on a thoroughly unpredictable ride. Each chapter brings something new. Just when the reader thinks they are beginning to figure things out, off on another tangent the story goes. D.J. Palmer has a winner here: the plot is original and challenging, the characters are interesting and sometimes deceiving. I have immensely enjoyed this novel and would not hesitate to read many more books from this author. If you like your books to surprise and excite you, pick this one up. You will be glad you did. Highly recommended. Thank you to St. Martin’s Press, NetGalley and the author for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Natalie always wanted to take her children to New York City to see the sights and sounds of the Big Apple. Since that was her plan, why did she leave not even two hours after arriving and without her husband? The chapters alternate between Natalie and Michael telling of their lives before Natalie left and present day. We follow Natalie as she runs, and we follow Michael as he searches for her. Her husband wasn’t alone in his search, though. He actually had a New York City Policeman helping him which gave him pause as to why he would leave his jurisdiction and follow Michael around the country in search of his wife when the policeman didn't want anything to do with him in New York when he reported his wife was missing. Secrets come out but, you just know everything isn’t being told. That is why Mr. Palmer’s storytelling talent keeps you glued to the pages. Thriller fans and fans of Mr. Palmer will again be treated to another of his clever, tense, difficult-to-put-down reads. 4/5 This book was given to me by the publisher for an honest review.
