About this listen

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.

Hoo Boy

Mr Zunker is a new to me author. This was a wild meandering story. It’s like I was placed on Luke’s shoulder and went along for the ride. Learning all the crazy and whacked out things that happened to Ashley, Amy, Kristin, Laura, and Maggie.

Left me disappointed

Very poor unbelievable ending. So many other better ways that this story could have ended.

Good book

A nice surprise. Though the plot is way out there it’s good enough to keep you interested. Good suspense for a rainy week.

Refreshing

It was a good mystery, thriller with interesting character development, and a good pace. Also appreciated a clean story with no woke agenda. Hard to find that anymore.

Entertaining mystery

I liked listening to this fast-paced mystery of why Luke’s wife suddenly disappears with her daughter a day after she rescues a class of day care kids from a burning building. Luke tries to figure out why Ashley would disappear, and in the process, he realizes he didn’t really know his wife.

Suspenseful and Action Packed.

I liked the plot and the suspense. There were enough surprises to keep in interesting. I though the ending was much too fast, almost a summary of the storyline. My only criticism was the constant self awareness of how much the guy loved his wife. A bit over the top for me. Otherwise, I enjoyed the book.

Surprise Surprise

I was a bit angry with "the wife" for a little while but my anger turned to concern. The story kept me guessing until the very end. And initially I thought the narrator should be a woman telling the story. But the male was perfect and did a great job.
