Without A Trace

In the quiet town of Rock Harbor, lighthouse resident Bree Nichols' life is turned upside down when her husband and young son disappear in a plane crash. With her search-and-rescue dog, Samson, Bree sets about scouring the wilderness. There she unwittingly discovers a plot that threatens to tear her peaceful town apart.


Mystery fans will love this romantic suspense novel from best-selling author Colleen Coble. Set in the untamed beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the Rock Harbor novels draw readers into the life and adventures of a canine search-and-rescue team as it unravels the secrets of an enchanting wilderness.

*May Contain Spoilers*

Without a Trace is a Christian Mystery novel by Colleen Coble that should be on your reading list. As Bree searches the Upper Peninsula with her rescue dog, Samson, she finds more than she ever hoped. Who knew that a small town could hold so many secrets? But when enemies are closer than friends, it's difficult to believe the truth. 

Bree is the main character of Coble's novel, though she shares the story with a few other minor characters. Readers will absolutely love and respect Bree's strength in her time of weakness as she struggles to let go of her husband and son who disappeared one year ago. Her desire to find the wreckage and give her family a proper burial has been her obsession, though it's diminishing her faith in God and in herself. Readers will relate to the struggle Bree journeys through as the framework can be applied to many different situations. 

Aligned with the emotional turmoil Bree is working through, there's also a deadly plot that may lead Bree to question her family's plane crash. Coble sneaks in surprise after surprise as the book progresses, forcing readers to discover the terrible secret that Rock Harbor is hiding. Without a Trace is definite a must read for mystery lovers!

Rating: 3.5/5
