I have enjoyed other books by Chad Zunker so was excited to read The Wife You Know, especially after reading the synopsis. I wasn't disappointed.
I was captivated by Luke's story. Suffering the horrific loss of his wife and unborn child and being able to find love again was compelling. Still, Ashley was different and there were major clues he missed or things he ignored long before she went missing. He is also a wealthy man and while she wasn't interested in his money, someone without the big bucks wouldn't have been able to go to such lengths to try to find her. Luke did make some bad choices that I didn't think someone of his status would make but it was a frantic time so I rolled with it. Even though I had figured out the major premise, I was drawn into the story and had to know how it would end.
The use of flashbacks was interesting, as was the trip Luke takes across the country to find answers and the truth. I do wish the story wasn't only from Luke's point of view. I wanted Ashley to tell more of her story.
The author has a talent for writing a book with a brisk pace and that creates vivid images in your mind. It is like you are watching an exciting movie. In fact, his books would make great movies like you see on Lifetime and NetFlix.
The Wife You Know was a very entertaining read with an intriguing ending. I read it all in one evening. Yes, you have to suspend reality here and there and I am not sure the ending put the danger fully to rest. It may be fun to revisit these characters for another round of suspense.
