The Baker’s Wife~Erin Healy~ Book Review
by adustyframe ~ November 2nd, 2011Since I LOVE books, I’m always looking for good authors. When LitFuse Publicity offered to review The Baker’s Wife, I said, “Sign me up!”
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my review.
The Baker’s Wife used to be a Pastor’s wife but a lie ended her husband’s ministry and changed their lives.
Erin Healy wrote an exciting mystery full of questions and a hard to solve murder–but the body is missing! It doesn’t help that the missing body is the wife of the man who hates her family and caused her husband’s ministry to end.
I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading some other books by Erin Healy. I hadn’t heard of her before so yeah–a new author.
About The Baker’s Wife:
To save her husband and son, Audrey Bofinger must rescue her enemy.
The Bofinger family has lost their church ministry in a scandal exposed by Officer Jack Mansfield. Hoping to heal and to restore their reputation, Audrey, Geoff, and their son Ed take over a failing bakery in the small community.
Driving to the bakery one morning, blinded by fog, Audrey hits a motor scooter owned by Jack’s wife, Julie. The mangled scooter is crushed and bloody. But Julie is nowhere to be found. Her disappearance coincides with a sudden illness that nearly cripples Audrey.
Jack believes the Bofingers have hurt Julie to take revenge on him, but the evidence dries up and her trail goes cold. At a breaking point, Jack takes the tiny bakery and its patrons hostage, issuing only one demand: Audrey has six hours to return Julie to him, or lose Geoff and Ed forever.
With only an excruciating and intuitive gift, an ex-con, and Julie’s estranged daughter to help search for clues, Audrey starts the search of her life for a woman who has vanished like the fog.
