A Mysterious Review of No Show by Simon Wood.
Review summary: This is a multi-dimensional novel where the plotline is paramount. The characters are well developed and the action appropriate to each. For those readers concerned about excessive violence and language, there is neither here, a good book to enjoy for the well-told story of a missing woman and a man determined to find her.

Publisher synopsis: Englishman Terry Sheffield has just arrived in San Francisco to start his new life with Sarah, the investigative journalist he married after a transatlantic love affair. But Sarah never shows up at the airport …
When Terry reports his wife as missing, the police chalk it up to a new bride with cold feet. Then one murdered woman after another turns up, all with something in common: they had exposed scandals just before their deaths … and their names appear on a list that Sarah composed. As a journalist, Sarah's exposed her share of scandals, and Terry realizes that she's not missing — she's on the run.
To find her before the killer does, Terry must explore the dark recesses of his new homeland and rely on the help of some new friends. But as his search brings him closer to finding Sarah, Terry realizes she's very different from the woman he thought he married.
