THE MISSING WIFE

by SUE FORTIN

I just finished reading “The Missing Wife”, by Sue Fortin. Thanks to NetGalley, Sue Fortin and Storm Publishing for giving me an advancec copy in return for an honest review. This novel can best be describes as a family mystery or mystery thriller. It is about three sisters who grow up in Ireland. One day the oldest sister Kathleen goes missing, and noone knows why. The middle sister receives a mysterious phonecall one day and rushes back to her hometown to thry and find out what happened to her sister, and stumbles upon a suspicious set of events that she and her daughter get caught up in. Throughout the book, we find our Kathleens big secret, why she left and what happened to her.

The way the author goes back and forth between present and past makes the story interesting because we slowly find our clues to what happened to Kathleen, while at the same time we find out the reason why she left… and is missing. The story contains interesting suprises but remains focused on providing the answers to the questions about where Kathleen is.

I liked the family dynamic between the three sisters and the parents. I liked how the story make the bad guys (and girls) layers so that the readers kind of felt sorry for some of them. I liked the main character and her resolve to find her sister.

I really liked the setting of the novel, and how it made me feel like I was actually in Ireland, by writing how some words were pronounced in Ireland. I liked that there was a back story that made sense to the outcome of the story.

Now the backstory…I think I was expecting it to be a bit more juicy. I don’t know. I was a little underwhelmed by it all. But that didn’t take away from the fact that I enjoyed learning about Kathleen as Siobhan her sister did. It was well paced, entertaining, and had a satisfying ending.

Happy Reading
