When Imogen accompanies her boss on a business trip to Paris, she uses the opportunity to put The Plan into action and disappear. Covering her tracks from her controlling husband, Vince, she heads to the place she spent time at as a child, when her mother was a housekeeper to the Delissandes family at Villa Martine. As Imogen forges a new life for herself, Vince believes she can’t survive without him and is trying to track her down. This is a story of a woman’s journey to find herself again by reconnecting with her past – all with a beautiful French setting. Because of the ominous shadow of that appalling husband of hers, it became a riveting read.
The Missing Wife, by Sheila O'Flanagan, is about a woman who runs from her seemingly perfect life. The summary says: "When Imogen Naughton vanishes, everyone who knows her is shocked. She has a perfect marriage. Her handsome husband treats her like a princess. She's always said how lucky she is. So why has she left? And how will she survive without Vince? What goes on behind closed doors is often a surprise, and Imogen surprises herself by taking the leap she knows she must. But as she begins her journey to find the woman she once was, Imogen's past is right behind her. Will it catch up with her? And will she be ready to face it if it does?" The Missing Wife is out in June 2016.
