I posted on your wife's review too, but here's my recommendations: My 2 favorite exhaustive biographies were: "Katharina and Martin Luther: The Radical Marriage of a Runaway Nun and a Renegade Monk" which gave a ton of historical/cultural context than any other book and is a very pleasant read. But it should be noted that "Mother of the Reformation" by Ernst Kroker is considered the most authoritative (and it is by far). It was helpful for researching dates and names when I was assembling timelines, though it reads a little more dry and academic.
