Title: Without A Trace
Author: Colleen Coble
I very much enjoyed this novel. Christian suspense! And it didn’t disappoint. Bree is a canine search and rescue professional and this novel focuses on her professional life ( which is so interesting) as well as weaving in the story of her life ( A husband and son lost on a plane crash a year before). I was very impressed with Ms. Coble’s character development. From the first page, I was drawn in, not just to Bree, but the Michigan UP city of Rock Harbor that she calls home and the people that make make up her circle of family and friends.
The plane carrying her husband and son has never been found, and she continues to search for them. Lost children, lost hunters, a mysterious death and a “witch in the woods” combined to keep me turning pages. And don’t we all adore a happy ending?!
There was also no doubt that many of the characters in this novel were Christians. They lovingly display spiritual characteristics without preaching or being overly religious in nature. Scripture was incorporated in the story and the poem, Hound of Heaven. These characters make me want to be a better person and the represent what real Christianity is about – ” loving people” .
Final word : Read this one. It doesn’t disappoint. In addition, this is only book one in a series of novels about Bree and her serach dog Samson ( The Rock Harbor Mystery series) . I can’t wait for the store to open tomorrow, so that I can get the next one!
Karen Kingsbury said ” Colleen Coble is a master story-teller..” and she is right!
