Without a Trace

By Colleen Coble

Book Overview

When a plane crash claims her husband and son, Bree Nichols and her search-and-rescue dog won't rest until they recover the bodies. But when quiet Rock Harbor is shaken by a violent crime, Bree discovers links to her husband's fatal accident. Would solving this crime bring her peace--or more incredibly, reunite her family?

It's been months since the crash. K-9 search-and-rescue worker Bree Nicholls knows the chances of finding her husband and son in the vast wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula grow more remote by the day. But her heart and her faithful dog, Samson, demand she keep searching.

Deep in the woods a young boy wakes in a tiny cabin. He's being nursed back to health by a reclusive woman, but he can't figure out why she calls him by a name he doesn't recognize. Or why she's calling herself his mother. He wants to leave, but as winter sets in, his very life depends on her care.

Meanwhile, Bree's relentless determination to find her family has uncovered a violent crime. With the help of Park Ranger Kade Matthews, she discovers the violence may be linked to the plane crash that took her family. Could solving the crime bring her healing from her own loss?

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.

Great Read!

This was a good read. A Mystery, with a hint of romance and a touch of suspense. Towards the end I was on the edge thinking please don’t let the killer be…. Great flow I did have to pause several times with the names of characters and think ok who was this? Overall great book and looking forward to many more by this author!

Without a Trace (Rock Harbor Series #1)

exciting book..got all of them in this series..Great writer..waiting for more of her other series to come soon..

Way awesome book

I totally recommend this book to anyone who loves a good suspense/mystery with a little hint of romance in it book. I couldn't put it down for a long time! It was so good! I actually cried when I got towards the end. I felt like I actually knew Bree. I felt her troubles! As the back of the book jacket says from one reviewer, you have to actually stop and remember that they are just characters in the book, and you don't have to pray for them!

What A Great Suspense!

This first book in a series blew me away! The characters are so REAL and the plot of this book was a roller-coaster ride that I never wanted to end! I'm so glad Ms. Coble has made these characters and this location a series. The twists and turns are unexpected, and Bree Nichols is a fabulous character! Keep up the wonderful writing, Ms. Coble....reading the follow-ups in this series will be a delight! For more of my reviews, visit my website at www.robinmillerbooks.com

A Can't Put It Down Read

This book captured my interest and held my attention to the end. I appreciated the strength yet vulnerability of the heroine--and her relentless search. Tightly woven plot threads and a satisfying end! Get this book, and you'll be cheering her on and looking for the second one to come out!!
