The Vanishing Wife Book Review

The Vanishing Wife: An Action-Packed Crime Thriller

By Barry Finlay
















How far will a man go when his family is threatened? Mason Seaforth is about to find out. He is a mild mannered accountant living a quiet, idyllic life in the quiet community of Gulfport, Florida with his wife, Samantha. At least, it's quiet and idyllic until Sami, as she's known to her friends, vanishes the night of their 20th anniversary. Mason is thrown into a life that is meant for other people as he and their brash friend, Marcie Kane, try everything to find out what has happened to Sami. A search of Sami's computer uncovers notes describing a past that Sami has buried for more than 20 years. Mason and Marcie are thrust into a race against a sadistic killer to discover what has happened to Mason's wife. He reluctantly exchanges his spreadsheets for a Glock 17 and he and Marcie follow a trail left behind by Sami which unexpectedly leads them deeper and deeper into a dark world in Canada. Mason is required to make decisions that he could never imagine himself making and each one has deadlier consequences than the last. The wrong one could result in the death of his entire family.

MY REVIEW OF The Vanishing Wife

Mason and Sami Seaforth celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary enjoying each other’s company. When Mason awakens early the next morning, Sami has vanished without a trace. After reporting her disappearance to the police, he receives a threatening call. With the help of Sami’s best friend Marcie, Mason must unravel the sparse clues that Sami has left behind, in order to find his wife before a very dangerous man from her past does.


I enjoyed this suspenseful tale of mystery and intrigue. It kept me on edge trying to figure out just why a wife would up and leave what appeared to be an idealic life for seemingly no reason at all. I could not put the book down until I finished it. The camaraderie between Mason and Marcie was what made the story, in my opinion. I liked that they didn’t have a good relationship before, but worked perfectly together in their crisis. I really liked the plot and the characters that Finley brought to life in this story. I could tell how much the characters had grown by the ending. The plot takes place in just a few days, but it seemed like so much longer. I really wanted the story to continue.
