Leave No Trace - D.S. Butler

 Leave No Trace - D. S. Butler

Pub. Date: Aug. 27, 2024

She read

An eleven year old is taken at Tattershall Castle while his mother is distracted and a blue teddy bear left in his place.  The MO is reminiscent of three children abducted and murdered fifteen years ago, but someone was arrested and is in jail for those crimes.  Could they have charged the wrong person, does he have an accomplish, a copy cat, or is something else at play here?  DS Karen Hart and DI Morgan investigate. 

This is a fast paced, well plotted, suspenseful mystery with enough red herrings to keep the reader guessing. I didn’t want to put the book down. I enjoy this main character.  She is engaging, capable, empathetic and doesn’t suffer fools gladly. D.S. Butler is another author who always captures my attention and doesn't let go. 

The  ninth in the Karen Hart series, it is the fifth I have read.  Although the main players’ stories progress with successive books, each one can be read as a stand alone.

Thanks to #NetGalley and #ThomasandMercer for the DRC.
