The Baker's Wife by Erin Healy

Audrey Woods and her husband Pastor Geoff have just been asked to leave their church. They decide to remain in their small town and open a bakery to capitalize on a love of bread baking. As Audrey comes to work early one morning, she collides with a motor scooter in dense fog. Even though it is obvious that the scooter driver has been injured, there is no sign of her. The missing woman’s husband is the town detective and the person that masterminded Audrey and Geoff’s ouster at the church. He is convinced that Audrey has murdered his wife, Julie, and hidden her body. As the police department’s frustration grows at not being able to find Julie, her husband takes matters into his own hands. Audrey must act quickly in order to find Julie and to rescue her husband and son.

This book was a very enjoyable read. The plot moved along and kept me interested. I found the characters to be very real, even though it was obvious that they represented different types of believers in Christ. The author’s message of grace and humility versus legalism and unforgiveness was plain to see. The ending, although it did not completely satisfy my curiosity, left me with hope for the characters. I would highly recommend this book for its writing and the story line. This is my honest opinion and I thank the publisher for this free copy.
