With believably flawed characters, a strong sense of place, a tense did-he-or-didn't-he plot and plenty of cliffhangers, Without Trace is an assured start to Booker's projected series. More, please. * Guardian *
* The tension was palpable. It was contemporary, well plotted and the main character, Morgan Vine was real, flawed and vulnerable as we all are, but tenacious too and all the more a heroine to me, because of it * Breakaway Reviewers *
