The Missing Wife is a don’t judge a marriage by just what you see. Outside Imogen and Vince look like the sweet happy married couple. Both have jobs they like, they seem happy and in love. Behind closed doors there is a totally different view. Vince is a control freak that is verbally abusive to Imogen. She has had enough and it’s time to put her escape into action. She has worked on every last detail for years. She will have at least 24 hours before he finds out she is gone. She needs to follow it word for word for it to go off with out a hitch. I liked the courage Imogen had it takes a lot of courage and determination to walk away from your verbal abuser. So many times they have worn the other one down thinking they are worth nothing. Vince is a total Jerk and I hated him from page 1. This book is a character POV book so you will get to read how both Imogen and Vince view this whole journey. This is a long book coming in at 480 pages so there were a few parts for me that were a bit slower paced than the rest. I did like The Missing Wife by new to me author Sheila O’Flanagan. I would recommend this for anyone who likes contemporary fiction and this would be a great spring read. I will warn you while reading this you will wish you were in the pretty little town in France that Imogen escapes to. The author does an amazing job with all her descriptions. You can visualize everything so clearly, it’s almost like your there.
About the Book: When Imogen Naughton vanishes, everyone who knows her is shocked. She has a perfect marriage. Her handsome husband treats her like a princess. She’s always said how lucky she is. So why has she left? And how will she survive without Vince?
What goes on behind closed doors is often a surprise, and Imogen surprises herself by taking the leap she knows she must. But as she begins her journey to find the woman she once was, Imogen’s past is right behind her…
Will it catch up with her? And will she be ready to face it if it does?
