Fortunately the plots were anything but similar and I enjoyed both books. <\/p>\n<p>The perpetrator in &#8220;Gone Without a Trace&#8221; was one messed up guy and the reader is given glimpses into his mind at various points during the book. I found it impossible to settle on the guilty party because every time I thought I had it figured out, a little more information was given about another character that directed suspicion in his direction also. I thought the author was genius in misleading the reader and the conclusion is both surprising and horrifying.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gone Without a Trace&#8221; is an exciting read from the beginning to its end. I thought the characters were strong and realistic and the suspense was broken by a developing romance (of course). I loved the way one disappearance was resolved earlier in the story and how that character helped solve the other case.<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend &#8220;Gone Without a Trace&#8221; to anyone who enjoys a good romantic suspense. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>This book was provided for review by<br \/> Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>The past is repeating itself&#8211;and time is running out<br \/><\/b><br \/>It&#8217;s been more than two years since homicide detective Livy Reynolds&#8217;s cousin disappeared from Logan Point. Unlike most people in her hometown, Livy has never believed that Robyn left voluntarily. When Dallas private investigator Alex Jennings contacts her concerning a senator&#8217;s missing granddaughter who was last seen in Logan Point, Livy notices eerie similarities between the two disappearances. With self-doubt plaguing her and an almost instant dislike of the self-assured PI, she&#8217;s finding this investigation an uphill battle. But with the prospect of finding her cousin on the horizon, she&#8217;ll have to find a way to work with Alex&#8211;before it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n<p>Award-winning author Patricia Bradley keeps you on the edge of your seat with a case&#8211;and a relationship&#8211;that is anything but certain.<\/p>\n<p>Read an excerpt from <a href=\"http:\/\/assets.bakerpublishinggroup.com\/processed\/book-resources\/files\/Excerpt_9780800722821.pdf?1426619237\">Gone Without a Trace<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-19065\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Patricia-Bradley.jpg\" alt=\"Patricia Bradley\" width=\"290\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Patricia-Bradley.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Patricia-Bradley-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Patricia-Bradley-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/>Patricia Bradley<\/b> is the author of <i>Shadows of the Past<\/i>, <i>A Promise to Protect<\/i>, and <i>Gone without a Trace<\/i>.
