The Wife You Know

By: Chad Zunker

Narrated by: Thor Knai, Helen Laser

Everything he knows about his wife is called into question when she mysteriously vanishes in a breathtaking novel of suspense by Amazon Charts bestselling author Chad Zunker.

Widower Luke Driskell didn’t expect to fall in love and marry again so quickly. But Ashley and her daughter, Joy, are special—a quality borne out when Ashley rushes into a burning day-care center to save the children. Immediately she’s a social media sensation and hero. Then, just as suddenly, Ashley and Joy disappear into the bitterly cold night.

With no trace of their whereabouts, Luke begins a panicked investigation. Alarmingly, he can find no proof that the woman he loves even exists. Left behind: just a hidden stash of fake IDs. Different names. Different cities. Same haunted face. Now the devastated husband has only questions: Who did he marry? What is she hiding?

Luke’s cross-country pursuit of the truth soon spins into something more dangerous than he imagined. Because Ashley’s secrets run so deep and dark that finding her could threaten all their lives.

Intriguing story line

Definitely kept my interest throughout. Narrator did an excellent job. The story had a few twist and turns and kept the suspense throughout until the very last chapter.

Engaging story.

I was fully in from the first chapter. Well defined characters. Lots of twists. Surprises.

Pretty good story, though forgettable

While I enjoyed listening to this book, I didn't write a review of this book right after I finished listening and now a week later I forgot what happened and had to re-open the book to refresh my memory. The story may be a bit far-fetched, but if you accept the premise of marrying someone without knowing much about them then it works pretty well. You also have to accept one other far-fetched premise, but I don't want to introduce any spoilers so I won't elaborate on that one. As a light listen between non-fiction books it worked fine.

Really great listen

Great characters, Luke is the perfect hero from start to finish. The writing is excellent. The intrigue keeps the plot moving at a quick pace. Enough sub plots to throw some twists in but ultimately well done to connect it all back together!

Excellent narration. I really felt the emotions from each of the character voices!!

Kinda boring

I really wanted to like this book but it was just meh. Not horrible not great just meh.
