Litfuse - The Baker's Wife - Reviewed




To save her husband and son, Audrey Bofinger must rescue her enemy.

The Bofinger family has lost their church ministry in a scandal exposed by Officer Jack Mansfield. Hoping to heal and to restore their reputation, Audrey, Geoff, and their son Ed take over a failing bakery in the small community.

Driving to the bakery one morning, blinded by fog, Audrey hits a motor scooter owned by Jack’s wife, Julie. The mangled scooter is crushed and bloody. But Julie is nowhere to be found. Her disappearance coincides with a sudden illness that nearly cripples Audrey.

Jack believes the Bofingers have hurt Julie to take revenge on him, but the evidence dries up and her trail goes cold. At a breaking point, Jack takes the tiny bakery and its patrons hostage, issuing only one demand: Audrey has six hours to return Julie to him, or lose Geoff and Ed forever.

With only an excruciating and intuitive gift, an ex-con, and Julie’s estranged daughter to help search for clues, Audrey starts the search of her life for a woman who has vanished like the fog.

My Thoughts: My first experience with Erin's writing was her co-author with Ted Dekker of Kiss, and that was a great book! It made my top picks for 2009.

Audrey is a pastor's wife and she feels God leading her to sit with those who are sick, when she would go she would bring a homemade loaf of bread. A malicious scandal outs Audrey and her husband Geoff from the church they were pastoring so they open the Sun Shine Bakery. On a foggy morning an accident occurs and church member, Jack Mansfield's wife Julie is hit on her scooter by Audrey, there is a lot of blood, but there is no body. Jack is a detective and he becomes vengeful as he investigates. He is sure that Audrey is behind his wife's disappearance.

Erin does a great job keeping the suspense, lots of twists and turns about the accident and the disappearance of Julie.
