You Disappear by Christian Jungersen FIC Jun

  
Loved this book.  It was different, informative and it kept my interest until the end.  Mia, who teaches school in Denmark, lives with her teen-aged son and her husband, Frederik.  She met Frederik when she began teaching.  He swept her off her feet.  As Frederik threw himself into his career as the headmaster of a private school, Mia was unhappy because he worked so hard and didn't have time for her.  Although he is still working hard, the past few years he has changed.  Now he actually spends time with his family.  She was thrilled with this change in him - until she found out why he had changed.  It was a tumor that had been growing in his brain and slowly changing his personality.   This seems to be the worse thing that can happen to Mia - until she finds out that a great deal of money has gone missing from Frederik's school.  And they think he is responsible.

If you want a change from novels with themes that have been over-done (even though they are still entertaining!) - check this one out.  It will make you think.  The problem might be that you start looking a little closer at family, friends and co-workers.........and you wonder if they might have had a bump on the head.
