About the Book:
She’s turning up the heat on Carin County’s cold cases . . .
Evie Blackwell loves her life as an Illinois State Police detective . . . mostly. She’s very skilled at investigations and has steadily moved up through the ranks. She would like to find Mr. Right, but she has a hard time imagining how marriage could work, considering the demands of her job.
Gabriel Thane grew up in Carin County and is now its sheriff, a job he loves. Gabe is committed to upholding the law and cares deeply for the residents he’s sworn to protect. He too would like to find a lifetime companion, a marriage like his parents have. . . .
When Evie arrives in Carin, Illinois, it’s to help launch a new task force focused on unsolved crimes across the state. She will work with the sheriff’s department on a couple of its most troubling missing-persons cases. As she studies old evidence to pull out a few tenuous new leads, she unearths surprising connections. One way or another, she knows Gabriel Thane and his family will be key to the answers she seeks.
My Thoughts:
Dee Henderson has been one of my favorite authors for years. While I don’t enjoy her newer books like I did some of her earlier ones, I still loved this new release. Traces of Guilt contained very intricate storylines and it was very interesting to see how all the stories related throughout the book. Henderson definitely keeps the reader in suspense until the end which I appreciate. One quality that I like about all of her books is her ability to keep you intrigued. There were a large cast of characters in the story and a few of my favorite characters from her previous books made appearances and it was neat to see how all of their individual stories worked together. Gabriel and Evie had a nice connection as they worked together to solve cases, and I look forward to learning even more about them in future books. I am already excited for her next book. If you are a fan of a good mystery and of Dee Henderson, this book is a must read for you.
I was given this book by Netgalley and Bethany House Publishers in exchange for a review.
