Where'd you go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom. Then Bernadette disappears.

Written in several points of view, Bernadette, her husband Elgin and daughter Bee.  As well as her enemies from the school Bee attends.  This story makes you want to read to the end.  I enjoyed the majority of the book but felt that the final chapter was not the outcome I expected.  It was a bit of a let-down and had a more juvenile feel to it.  But I still enjoyed it and glad that I listened to it on CD as the readings of emails is hysterical!
