Jack and his wife Mary have been together for 20 years. Lately things have not been good between them. When Jack comes home to find her gone, he is not too worried at first. He figures her job as a flight attendant has taken her away. But as the days go by he realizes something is wrong and reports her missing.
Now the police think he has killed Mary and arrest him. Child protective services and Mary’s mother are trying to take his kids away from him. Jack is now in the fight for his freedom and to keep his family together. And what is this strange CD he finds among his wife’s belongings? Why would she have a CD containing child pornography?! Suddenly Jack finds he is also fighting for his life.
This has got to be the best mystery that I have read in very long time. Author Michael Sherer gives readers a lot to think and chew on as they delve into this heart-stopping and gripping novel. How easy is it to be in the wrong place at the wrong time? So many things can spin completely out of our control.
The one problem this reader had with this book is the quickness that Jack finds a new love interest. His wife is not even cold in her grave, his future and that of his children is still up in the air… his wife is not even cold in her grave…you get the picture. He finds love much too soon for this tender hearted female reader, I don’t care how rocky their marriage was. Dang man, let your children grieve and show some respect in the eyes of friends and family for Mary. There, I feel better now that I got that off my chest!
But that being said, the plot of this book is amazing and will keep the reader guessing as to what will happen next…so many things have already been thrown at Jack, how could he possibly handle anymore!
ISLAND LIFE is well written and is highly recommended for mystery lovers out there. ENJOY!
