Description
The Missing Wife is a gripping dual timeline historical novel that weaves together two stories set in Scotland. In 1933, Hannah Snow flees her unhappy marriage and finds herself in a small hotel on the banks of Loch Ness. But when a monster is spotted in the depths of the waters, her hiding place is discovered, and events take a devastating turn.
Present day, true crime podcaster Scarlett becomes intrigued by the mystery of Hannah Snow, wife of a promising government minister who disappeared in 1933 - just months before his husband also went missing, presumed dead. As Scarlett works to uncover the truth, she discovers a tragic family secret and a story as murky as the depths of the loch where Hannah and her husband were last seen.
This beautifully written and researched novel is suited to readers of historical mysteries and dual timeline stories.
