The Bishop's Wife by Mette Ivie Harrison

The Bishop's Wife by Mette Ivie Harrison

Linda Wallheim is a devout Mormon, the mother of five boys and the wife of a bishop. But Linda is increasingly troubled by her church's structure and secrecy, especially as a disturbing situation takes shape in her ward. One cold winter night, a young wife and mother named Carrie Helm disappears, leaving behind everything she owns. Carrie's husband, Jared, claims his wife has always been unstable and that she has abandoned the family, but Linda doesn't trust him. As Linda snoops in the Helm family's circumstances, she becomes convinced that Jared has murdered his wife and painted himself as a wronged husband.

Linda's husband asks her not to get involved in the unfolding family saga. But Linda has become obsessed with Carrie's fate, and with the well-being of her vulnerable young daughter. She cannot let the matter rest until she finds out the truth. Is she wrong to go against her husband, the bishop, when her inner convictions are so strong?

Inspired by a chilling true crime and written by a practicing Mormon, The Bishop's Wife is both a fascinating look at the lives of modern Mormons as well as a grim and cunningly twisted mystery.

Mette Ivie Harrison is the author of The Princess and the Hound, Mira, Mirror, and The Monster in Me, and she says of The Princess and the Bear, I never believed there would be a sequel to The Princess and the Hound, but when I looked through the galleys, I discovered there was another book waiting in the story of the bear and the hound. Because it stands on its own as a fresh plot, you might conceive of it as a parallel novel rather than a sequel. Who knows, though.
