My Wife is Missing by D.J. Palmer Book Review


 

I received a gifted copy and am providing a review. Publishing May 2022. (Not my picture.)

I could have easily devoured this book in one sitting if I had the time. That ending was truly unexpected. As this story unfolds, we are led down the path of Natalie’s ‘escape’ from Michael, Michael having some long-buried secrets. This story also throws in what happens when a person suffers from chronic insomnia, anywhere from hallucinations to paranoia, not knowing who to trust including oneself. Not to mention the detective who decides to join Michael on his quest to bring Natalie and their children home.

The characters in this book help shape this story. Tina who is Natalie’s boss and friend. Audrey who is new to Dynamic Media (the company where both Natalie and Tina work). Bryce and Addie (Natalie and Michael’s children). Natalie and Michael themselves. Detective Kennett from New York, who has a vested interest in what happened so long ago to Brianna. Michael’s mother. Sarah Fielding. Natalie’s parents. Kate, long-time friend of Natalie. While some of the roles are minor and others major, each of these characters play an important part in the telling of this tale. This will definitely go on my shelf for a second read!
