Blog Tour: The Baker’s Wife by Erin Healy
Please welcome Erin Healy, author of The Baker’s Wife who is touring the blogosphere with LitFuse Publicity!
Reviewed by Christen Krumm
Audrey Bofinger is a pastor’s wife with a special gift. She can feel other’s pain. After a scandalous lie regarding the Bofinger’s son and deacon Jack Mansfield’s daughter, the Bofingers are all but barred from the church. Now they own a bakery serving coffee and baking bread.
Early one very foggy morning as Audrey and her son are driving to the bakery, their car hits something. After further inspection they realize that it is the Vespa belonging to none other than the deacon’s wife that got them kicked out of church. There is blood everywhere, but no one can find the body. Of course, Jack pins the blame on Audrey and makes it his mission to make sure she goes down for the crime. Thinking the case is going nowhere, Jack spins out of control and decides to take matters into his own hands. He takes the Bofingers and a handful of other customers hostage at their bakery, hoping to force a confession. Audrey wants nothing more than to help Jack find his wife and thus begins the race against time to find her before it is too late.
The Baker’s Wife will leave you breathless! Erin Healy’s way with words is amazing. She will put you right in the middle of the crime scene. You will actually be able to smell the bread that is baking in the Bofinger’s bakery (hence the fact that your mouth will water and have you running to your kitchen to bake a loaf of your own!) The story is a fast paced, edge of your seat mystery that will have you staying up late into the night guessing until the last page! A great book for any mystery lover!

I’ve been trying to win this book but never did. And now I’d enter, but this computer has blocked all the sites where I might enter!
I’ll try to remember to do it tonight on a different computer before I go to bed.
Misery loves company! I am having trouble with e-mails that go through Google!

I’ve seen another review for this book and everyone is saying it’s great, so I am really excited to find it and get it so I can read it myself. I’m waiting to see how her gift plays into the story. The plot of the story sounds very original, I don’t think I’ve read another with this theme.

I already have this on one my “To Buy List”, waiting for the price to sink a little. With the fast pace, this should be a great page turner. I love to make bread so when you said that we could smell the bread baking, that firmed up my desire to read this one. Thank you for this review, Now I want to bake!!!!

Well this sounds like the perfect example of a thriller I would enjoy. From the review you are kept right in the middle of the action and kept guessing until the very end. I am really intrigued to see how Audrey’s special gift of being able to feel other’s pain comes into play. Thanks for the review and the giveaway information, I have entered and look forward to the chat!
