Michael and Natalie are taking their two children on a family trip to New York City! After a late arrival, Michael runs out to get dinner and returns to…nothing and no one. His family is gone. Natalie is an insomniac, and he worries that she’s not in her right mind and his children are in danger…

Meanwhile, Natalie hasn’t slept well in quite some time after fearing her husband’s actions behind her back. She feels exhausted, unreliable, and suspicious — but most of all, she feels like she needs to get away from Michael. Are her fears real or imagined, and will the past catch up with this couple as they both run in the present?

This was a fun and engaging read; I read very quickly to find out what would happen next! I found the plot engaging and twisty enough to fuel my excitement. The final twist I found to be a bit unbelievable and out of left field, but it definitely WAS unexpected! Certainly nothing tired or overdone about this thriller. Overall, I’d certainly recommend this as an enjoyable new domestic thriller coming soon — a solid 4.5 star for me.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my ARC. All opinions are my own!

Yessss! It's been too long since I've given a book 5 stars! This book was amazing, loved every minute of it. Just when I thought I had it figured out, another twist, another turn!! Such a great book! Every book I have read by D. J. Palmer is so good!! Put this on your "to read" book list, you wont be disappointed!!

One of my favorite authors so I was super excited to review this one. Fast paced and told from multiple view points over multiple time frames (past and present) - love the double mystery intertwined as well. I went back and forth with who did what and every time I thought I knew what was going to happen there was a spin. Can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next!

Another fantastic book by DJ Palmer! He never fails to create a story with many twists and turns and keeps you guessing until the final page. I only wish he could write faster and I could read slower. Lol. #netgalley #mywifeismissing #djpalmer

D.J. Palmer has long since become one of my favorite mystery and thriller authors, and this excellent whodunit further cemented my stellar opinion of his novels! Where has the wife of the protagonist gone is the million dollar question driving the plot here, and you will read this in one sitting, as I did!

ARC was sent to me, I have read and enjoyed other books by this author, so I was eager to read this.

I could not stop reading
read in entirety in 1 day.

This is a fun and intriguing psychological thriller, full of lots of twists and turns. I liked if even better than The New Husband by the same author. I appreciated that all the loose ends tied up nicely with the ending, but I did find some portions of the story to be a bit far-fetched. Readers will find this one hard to put down!

Thank you very much to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the advanced reader’s copy of this book.

My wife is missing was excellent. So far everyone of DJ Palmer books have not disappointed me. I would recommend it to everyone.

I was on the edge of my seat for this entire book and never saw it coming! That’s the way DJ Palmer grabs us and that’s why I love his books

My Wife is missing is another great book by D.J. Palmer. There were so many twists and turns I was unable to put it down until I finished reading. The clues were there but I was still surprised at the ending. Palmer really knows how to engage his fans, Thanks for granting my wish in being able to read the advanced readers copy.

Wow! So many twists and turns. I couldn't even begin to guess how this book would end. Another fantastic read from D.J. Palmer. It started out like your usual case of marital infidelity, but the story took off from there, with one surprise after another. I could see this being made into a movie.

One of the most terrifying scenarios for any parent would have to be to fear for the safety of their child, and that is exactly the position that Natalie is in in D.J. Palmer’s latest, My Wife is Missing.

Natalie has discovered that her husband, Michael, had an affair. She has witnessed him turn violent several times, and is petrified for the safety of her children if she confronts him. Instead, Natalie decides to take their two young children and run, and when she is safely hidden away, file for divorce. However, her plan doesn’t go as smoothly as she hoped, and Michael is working to hunt her down.

On the other hand, Michael is worried sick about his children. He knows that Natalie is struggling from the effects of significant, long term insomnia, to the point that she has been hallucinating. When his family goes missing, he is desperate to find them, as he fears what will happen as Natalie’s insomnia causes her to be increasingly delusional.

I’ve heard that there are 3 version of every event - yours, mine, and what actually happened. My Wife is Missing leaves the reader continuously questioning whose version of events is accurate. Is Natalie reliable as a narrator, or is she paranoid? Is Michael a violent man, or the victim of his wife’s delusions brought on by her insomnia? As the tale unfolds and we learn more about each character, we are caught up in an increasingly complex web of events that propel us forward to a dramatic conclusion.

My Wife is Missing has elements of mystery, drama, psychological thrillers, and a parents worst nightmare. Don’t miss out on this one!! Coming to bookshelves near you May 10, 2022, but available for pre-order already! Thank you to D.J. Palmer, St. Martin’s Press, and NetGalley for the early copy!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of this fast-paced thriller that I read in one sitting. My Wife is Missing takes us on a wild ride with Natalie, who is on the run from her husband, and Michael, her husband who will not rest until he finds his wife and their children.

What prompted Natalie to plan her escape from her marriage, leaving her life as far behind her as she possibly can? Is her battle with insomnia causing her to be delusional, or is her husband really an adulterer and a murderer? As the story unfolds, you may find yourself second guessing everything that you thought you knew...

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

I loved this one. Very fast paced, had me turning pages as I tore through it – I had to see how it would end. The characters were well rounded and the narrative felt believable. Gave me chills. Solid five Def my favorite of her books

Wow, this book kept me guessing the whole way through. I was sure I had it figured out halfway through and then D.J. threw some more twists in that I didn't expect. I was able to read it early through Netgalley as part of the author's Facebook group. I can't wait to buy a physical copy next year and share it with my co-worker. I have never been disappointed by his books and this is definitely worth 5 stars.

Wow! This was a great great read!! Total roller coaster of emotions from shock and suspense to flat out being speechless. Loved the storyline and the author did a brilliant job with execution! Just did NOT see that coming so many times in the book. Highly recommend. Big 5 stars from me.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book

D.J. Palmer always writes a fantastic thriller, but his latest, is especially good! I literally could not put this book down from the start until the end and loved every single page. The plot twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out the clues along the way. HIGHLY recommend!
Thank you to net galley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Holy Cow! What an amazing ride. I absolutely loved this book. I had an inkling about what was going on as the story progressed but I was blown away by the twist(s) at the end! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy. I look forward to recommending this book!

This book will take you on quite an unexpected journey. It is true just because something seems to be true it isn’t always as it seems. What do you do when you go on a family vacation go out to pick up pizza only to return to find your wife and kids missing? There is always more to the story. When life long secrets are uncovered it will leave you not sure what will happen next.
This book will keep you guessing and when you think you have it all figured out you will be shocked to find out the pieces of the story fit together differently.
Thank you Netgalley for complimentary copy.
Enjoyed this book a great deal.

The first part of the book was a 2.5 - 3 star read. It didn't grab me but I was interested. The last third turned it into a 4.5 star book. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book
