THE HUSBAND was too gimmicky for me. It starts off assuming the reader will care what happens to this man's wife when you've never even met them yet! This was all about plot, not characters--a very poor balance.

I wasn't ever pulled into the conflict and couldn't have cared how he raised the ransom money or whether or not anything happened to the wife, so found myself skimming just to finish.

This probably goes over great with a male audience. I give it a C-.
