4 out of 5 stars
GONE WITHOUT A TRACE continues the Logan Point series
and does not disappoint.
Homicide detective Livy Reynolds has had her
foundation shaken. After blaming herself in the accidental shooting of a teen,
then freezing up during a firefight that gets her partner shot, Livy doubts
herself and loses her confidence. At the
same time that Livy is struggling with what her future holds, she meets private
investigator Alex Jennings. Alex is working on a case similar to the unexplained
disappearance of Livy’s cousin that happened more than two years ago. Though Livy
has an instant dislike for Alex, she decides to take a leave of absence and help
him out on his case, but only because of the similarities it has to her cousin’s
disappearance. Livy plans to use the time away from her job to reevaluate her
future. What she doesn’t plan for is the chemistry that builds between her and
Alex.
Alex Jennings is trying to make his own way in the
world. Though his father and grandfather are pressuring him to follow in their
footsteps and become a lawyer, Alex wants to be a private detective—a job he’s
good at. Solving the case of Samantha Jo Woodson’s disappearance will not only
bring closure to her family, but prove to the patriarchs of his family that
being a private investigator is not only challenging but rewarding. He is more
than willing to have Livy Reynolds team up with him. She’s an experienced
homicide detective and his attraction to her makes the partnership all the more
worthwhile.
Equal parts suspense, mystery, and romance made GONE
WITHOUT A TRACE an intriguing read. I enjoyed catching up with some of the
previous characters from the other two books in the series, and I especially
enjoyed watching the attraction between Livy and Alex build. I don’t think I
completely bought off on the reason Robyn stayed away so long and why, but I
was willing to put that aside and enjoy the rest of the mystery while it
unfolded.
