The Baker’s Wife

I haven’t got to review this book as of yet. With work and everything taking up so much time…. I will read and add the review this weekend!

I finally got to read The Baker’s Wife by Erin Healy, its about time huh. lol. It took me a bit to get into the story. I just wasn’t feeling it. But, I stuck with it giving myself a few chapters before giving up, and I am SO glad I did. While at first I wasn’t that attached to the book, the characters or the plot, right around chapter 4 I started getting in to the book. I wanted to know what would happen and what the outcome to thy mysterious crash was. I wanted more and I wanted it now. It was all I could do to keep from flipping to the last chapter and reading it first! Ok, I don’t have that much self control, I read the last chapter and then went back and read the rest of the book. Yes it was that good! I think I have found a new favorite author!

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.
