"The Baker's Wife" by Erin Healy (Review and Giveaway!)

5 STARS!!!!!
ABOUT THE BOOK - 
 If what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger, why is Audrey growing weaker by the day?
When her husband Geoff, a pastor, lost his job after a scandal rocked their congregation, Audrey's never lost faith.
They decide to resurrect a failing bakery as a way to heal family wounds and restore their place in the community.
Running late to the bakery one foggy morning, Audrey strikes a vehicle. Emerging from her car into the fog, she discovers she hit a motor scooter. But there’s no rider in sight. Just blood.
The absence of the driver is a mystery, especially to Sergeant Jack Mansfield, the detective and church member responsible for firing Geoff from his pulpit. The scooter belongs to Jack’s wife, Julie, a teacher at the local high school, who has vanished…like morning fog.
Though there is no evidence to support Jack’s growing suspicion that Audrey and Geoff were involved in Julie’s disappearance, the detective is convinced of their guilt. When he takes the tiny bakery and its patron’s hostage, Audrey must unravel the secret of Julie’s disappearance and her own mysterious suffering before Jack hits his breaking point.

MY REVIEW -
Wow! This book was amazing! Hold on to your seats, you are about to go on a crazy suspenseful ride.  This books never lets up. It starts out with a bang and just continues to build from there. This book reminded me of a Ted Dekker book, that is how edgy it is.
~An accident
~A missing person
~An explosion
~Hostages
~An ex-con
~An ex-preacher
~A clairvoyant ex-preacher's wife
~A cop gone "mad"
~A missing diamond necklace
~An abortion
~And lots of accusations!
Sound like a good book? Its fantastic! I read this book in two sittings. I could not put it down.
The Character development in this book is excellent! I really felt like I knew all the people, but I really did not care for Diane, the ex-con. I did really like Audrey and her family though.

I while back I had everyone vote on which book I should read and this book was the winner. Wow! I am so glad this book won. I would have hated to miss out on reading this.  Seriously guys - you have got to add this to your wish lists!

Thank you Thomas Nelson aka "Booksneeze" for giving me this wonderful book to review.
