Vanished Without a Trace
 By Sarah Hamaker

Henderson Parker has been searching for his missing sister Helena and he is determined to unearth any clue he can to do so. But he refuses to accept the help of  Elle Updike, a podcaster who looks for missing people. Henderson refuses to turn his family tragedy into a sensation or to spotlight his sister's past misdeeds. 

Two years ago Henderson refused her offer of help, but Elle Updike isn't one to give up. When a random photo sends Henderson to the area of a possible sighting he can't ignore this chance to bring Helena home. And Elle is ready to offer her assistance any way she can, she just needs Henderson to realize her motivation isn't mercenary. 

All too soon someone is targeting both Henderson and Elle, hindering their investigation and threatening their lives. Will their visit to Twin Oakes, Virginia, end in a reunion or in their deaths?

Vanished Without a Trace keeps the level of suspense high throughout most of the story and one is left wondering is Helena even still alive? Or is Henderson living on false hopes, putting his personal life on hold on the slim chance of finding someone who vanished leaving no traces behind? 

I've never read Sarah Hamaker's work before but I found it to be engaging and attention-grabbing from page one. It is interesting to see how Henderson and Elle's relationship seemingly progresses as they work together and yet there is that something that is a hindrance. I like that Love Inspired Suspense is clean reading. Yes, there are criminal elements and romance, but I don't need to worry about anything graphic or over-the-top. Would I recommend this book? Yes, without hesitation. So pick up a copy and spend your holiday weekend with a good book.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion - all thoughts expressed are my own.
