This is terrific. Admittedly, I found it sluggish in the beginning, but then I got in the groove of the writing and it took off. A genius wife fakes her disapperance and apparent death, while the intelligent husband knows she is framing him. He must prove his innocense and conspires to lure her back in with his devoted public updates of how much he loves her all the while wanting to really kill her for messing up his life. It's a total psychological thriller with a very twisted ending. I was amazed.
