Book Four of The New Rulebook & Pete Zendel Christian Suspense Series by award winning USA Today bestselling author Joy Ohagwu.

If forced to choose, will you abandon your family to save the world?

When decorated Silver Stone Police Captain Robert Towers leaves home after a bad day with his wife and doesn’t return, all eyes turn to his wife, Ruby Towers, for answers. But as his disappearance stretches from one day to the next, it raises conflicts about the state of their marriage, his love for his family, and his dedication to duty. Caught between the glare of public suspicion and her own confusion, while unable to explain Robert’s disappearance to their daughter, Ruby is left with one viable option—to pray hard—and that she does.

With the clock ticking, she wonders whether their love could surmount the situation as it unravels, or if her husband is gone for good—by choice or by force. Will she find out before time runs out? Will Captain Robert Towers ever make it home again?

VANISHED is Book 4 of The New Rulebook & Pete Zendel Christian Romantic Suspense Series by award winning USA Today bestselling author Joy Ohagwu. Read now.

This series is a breath of fresh air. I love that there is a suspenseful story that includes a couple’s story but the couple’s romance isn’t the whole story. The faith struggles and victories are encouraging and equipping to read.

Vanished…

He’s up and gone…. simply vanished. What happened? Could an argument with his wife cause him to take off, to disappear? Ruby is baffled. Her husband left without a trace. Fingers are pointing straight at her. Just what happened and can this marriage survive?

Was the argument Robert had with Ruby the last straw, or did he flee due to more nefarious reasons… after all he is the police captain and a decorated one at that. He’s not one to run from trouble but he will chase it down.

👁 OBSERVATIONS
I have purchased many of Joy's books and seldom am disappointed. I find most of her work can be read as a standalone, even if it's part of a series. This book, at times, runs slower than I prefer but it sets the pace and scenes for things to come.

This book started out kinda slow for me. I didn't understand all the chapters about Ruby's struggle with Robert's disappearance. It seemed to drag on & on. Then things switched to what was happening with Robert & things got really interesting & very suspenseful. I couldn't get to the end of the book quickly enough. It all makes sense at the end which was not what I expected. Really good, however. I received an ARC. This is my honest, voluntary review.

The title is what attracted me, Vanished! Now that is a mystery waiting to happen and what I love reading.

One thing I loved is there was a Bible verse to begin each chapter🤩

It gives me great satisfaction to read a Christian mystery, knowing that I won’t be offended by reading foul language.

I cannot wait, to read more of this series. I hope that each of the other books are as good as this one was!

3.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2018
The previous three books brought the reader to a thrilling climax while this book lacked direction and continuity. There were characters that really had nothing to do with the story and there were times when I didn't know what was going on. This felt more like a prologue for the next series of books. I am interested to see how the story progresses because the other books were so promising.

When Robert disappears one morning, Ruby is beside herself trying to remember if she said or did something to upset him. Why did he just vanish? A very heart wrenching, suspenseful read you don't want to miss!

2.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, but too drawn out
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2020

After getting through books 1-3, and each getting more weighted down than the previous with retelling of the book before, I hoped book 4 would be better - especially being set 15 years later. But I found the self-talk and retelling was even more drawn out and detailed than in previous books...pages of it! Also, I found the whole situation with Robert Towers missing ridiculous. They all acted like some great crime had taken place, when he had left a note and said he would return. Especially considering that he had done special assignments in the past, with the details of those assignments including only a selective few. Why wouldn't they assume he was on a top secret mission he couldn't share? And for someone the team had all looked to for strength and support in the past, Ruby sure is a weak character, never using logic, fainting at the drop of a hat and continously weeping. I'm afraid this series started well, but lost traction and action. I only read 40% of this book before I gave up after continously swiping past page after page.

I love the characters in this book and how their love for God is displayed. The story is intriguing and points to how God makes a difference in the lives of those who honor and glorify Him.

Vanished & Rescued : A Christian Suspense Collection from Joy Ohagwu Are very exciting Christian stories. The characters are great. The story is fascinating and faith plays a very big role. The books build you up and let you think about how to deal with problems. It could hardly put down a super nice Christian book to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Robert has vanished and Ruby's fears are many
Reviewed in Canada on March 23, 2020

I'm sorry to say that I have to agree with some of the reviews, I found that parts of this book dragged on with repetition of Ruby's feelings over the disappearance of Robert. I realize she was in a very difficult situation but I think that part could have been shorter. The mystery behind Robert's disappearance was good and took a while before we knew what was happening. I was happy to have an appearance by Pete Zendal and to see the change in him over the last 15 years. We also get to meet Ruby and Robert's teenage daughter Ritz, who is quite the little sweetheart. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series but I do hope it has more action than this one.
I received a free download of this book, this review is my own honest opinion.

A good novel from a Christian perspective with a lot of Biblical principles. A scripture at the beginning of each chapter was a bit too much, even for a Christian reader. As a contemporary novel I'm not sure if the husband's disappearance and the events he goes through are close to reality. I like fast moving novels with less description. Good writing though.

Don't care for the writing style. Liked the faith element but too much time spent on how she felt and how he felt. Skipped a lot of the story after half way through.
