The Wife You Know

Passing a daycare that’s engulfed in flames, Ashley Driskell risks her life to save several children. During an emotional reunion in the hospital, her husband, Luke, lets her know that someone took a video of her heroics and she’s now the darling of the Internet. Luke knows this won’t make Ashley happy, as she’s very private and dislikes even having her photo taken. Still, he’s surprised at Ashley’s vehemence that he must go, NOW, and pick up her daughter Joy, who is his stepdaughter, from the babysitter. Things become even stranger when the next morning Luke wakes to find that Joy is gone from their home and Ashley is missing from the hospital. Luke uses his desperation and sharp research skills to engrossing effect, digging deeper and deeper into the twisting mystery that is Ashley’s life. You won’t see the answers coming here, nor the satisfying ending; the love, loyalty, and determination shown by Luke are bonuses. A great read, especially for fans of D.J. Palmer’s My Wife is Missing.
