I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good story to it. I liked the variety of characters in it. It is my first book read by this author. I hope to read more books by this author.

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

Not really psychological or thrilling, I felt some of the characters as a mother but all the characters read so flat, protagonists included, it was hard to get emotionally invested in any other part of the story. Not my thing.

Wow this book is full of suspense and keeps you totally hooked right up until the last page.
This is the story of Nova and her little girl Lily who goes missing. The book is full of twists and turns, you get a countdown of events that take place and for the life of me i had no clue what had happened even though i did try to keep guessing! If you want a book that keeps you on the edge then this is the book for you. I really loved it.

Without a Trace by Carissa Ann Lynch is a fast-paced thriller that will leave the reader breathless. This is one to be read in a single session, as the plot is full-on and entirely gripping.

Fleeing from her abusive husband Martin, Nova Nesbitt and daughter Lily believe they have found safety at a cabin on the property of Appleton Farm. But when Lily goes missing from the cabin, policewoman Ellie James is on the hunt for her father, assuming that the case is a straightforward custody issue. Ellie is on a mission to not only find Lily, but to prove to her fellow officers that she is worthy of their respect. Nova's landlady Clara is also on the scene, and is harbouring some very dark secrets of her own. What is really happening at Appleton Farm?

Told primarily in the alternating perspectives of Nova, Clara, and Ellie, the story unfurls at a 'blink and you miss it' pace, and the twists and turns are plentiful, making this a dark and compelling read.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harper Impulse and Killer Reads for this ARC.

Whoa. This was a creepy premise, that kept me wondering what was really going on. There were some good twists, but I kind of wish when we were seeing from multiple perspectives that they didn’t just say what they’d done in the past, like I think things could’ve been revealed better. That said, I read it in one sitting, and I was super creeped out.
