Title: Without A Trace
Author: Colleen Coble
Publisher:
W Publishing Group
ISBN: 0-849-94429-5
Genre: Inspirational/Mystery/Suspense
The first in The Rock Harbor
Series, Without A Trace
will delight and satisfy the most discriminating reader. Colleen Coble
skillfully layers the story and the sub-plots are as compelling as the
main story. No matter if you are intrigued by mystery, intrigue, or
romance because this book has it all.
Young widow Bree Nichols and her search and rescue dog, Samson, search the
wilderness of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula for her lost son and husband.
Everyone close to Bree wants her to accept their plane went down and they
are dead, but Bree can’t. Not until she has some concrete proof. So, while
she and Samson aren’t on duty, searching for lost children, or finding
missing people, they look for her family. It isn’t until some local
children talk about the Witch in the woods, and some questionable items
surface, does Bree turn up the action on her search with the help of some
friends.
In the meantime her best friend Naomi and her dog Charley have a
sub-story. Naomi is the strength Bree needs to sustain relationships with
her husbands’ rather pushy sister. But, Naomi has feelings of her own;
will the object of her desire ever notice she wants to be more than
friends?
And, when murder happens in the midst of a Gold Mine deal, it is Samson
and Charley who lead the investigators into seeing the death is more than
an accident. How can dogs do this? Well, you will have to read the book.
The heart-sighing conclusion of
Without A Trace has only one flaw. It leaves the reader
without the character’s company until book two.
I highly recommend Without A Trace,
which is one of my top ten reads of 2003.
