Without a Trace

The Rock Harbor Series

By: Colleen Coble

Narrated by: Devon O'day

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?

Wonderful!

I have read this series several times. The narrator has done a perfect job. She truly brings the book alive!

Good Mystery from a Christian Author

The Pros: The story is well written and a good mystery. If you are easily offended by the mention of God, Prayer or Scripture, then this book is NOT for you. I don't quite understand people who will give a bad review solely because of it's spiritual content. I didn't find it offensive nor did I think it distracted from the story. There are very few mentions of a spiritual nature. It is written in a similar style to Francine Rivers. Something very positive about the book is that there is no bad language and no sex.
The Cons: I thought the reader read too fast. At first, I thought my iPhone was on 1.25 or 1.50 X speed. She also doesn't distinguish very well between characters with her voice. This is one book that might have benefited from different readers; one female and one male. However, I still was able to listen to the book and enjoy it. The speed was just a minor irritation but that is why I only gave 3 stars.

Kept me guessing

Great character development and good description of life in Michigan’s upper peninsula. Needs to work on location pronunciations. There were several places that I barely recognized.

Great as Always

Great as always! Really enjoyed the little twists and revelations toward the end too! Enjoyed the romantic subplots!

Enjoyed it but...

did not realize that this was a Christian mystery story. While I am fine with religion....I was not looking to find it in a book for enjoyment.

Good clean mystery!

I appreciate the fact I can have it on with kids in the room! Good plot, I didn't have the "who done it" figured out right away.

trials and tribulations

I loved it. It kept me guessing and true to life lessons on trusting GOD. So very real to me I could actually see it play out in my mind's eye. Colleen Goble has vision that only could come from her faith in GOD. Thank you for sharing your talents. I'm about to read your follow up to this one.
Definitely a must read.

loved it!

It didn't end the way I thought it would. Definitely kept me guessing all the way to the end!

Loved this one

Love her books and loved this one so much! I can’t wait to start the next one!

Sweet story, very Christian

Maybe I didn't read the reviews closely but if you are looking for a book with a good Christian moral, this one is for you. I was surprised at the Evangelism - not really my thing. Nice story, not complex, a bit predictable. Let's call it a "beach read".
