About this audiobook
From #1 bestselling mystery author Blake Pierce comes a new masterpiece of psychological suspense.
In A Trace of Murder (Book #2 in the Keri Locke mystery series), Keri Locke, Missing Persons Detective in the Homicide division of the LAPD, remains haunted by the abduction of her own daughter. Encouraged by the new lead that has landed, the first in years, she pursues it with all that she has, determined to find her daughter and bring her back alive.
Yet Keri, at the same time, receives a phone call from a frantic husband, a famed Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, who reports that his wife has been missing for two days. A wealthy socialite with no enemies and little reason to leave her life, he fears the worst has become of his wife.
Keri takes on the case, assigned a new partner whom she hates, as Ray still recovers in the hospital. Her investigation leads her deep into the elite Beverly Hills world of the idle rich, to encounters with lonely housewives, and those with shopping-addicted, empty lives. Keri, in over her head in this world, becomes increasingly puzzled by the conflicting signals: did this woman, with a stalker and a lurid, secret past, run away, or was she abducted?
Or did something far more sinister happen?
A dark psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, A Trace of Murder is book #2 in a riveting series—and a beloved new character—that will leave you turning listening into the night.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5More clues start to pop about Keri's missing daughter and while she tries to follow up on them a new case comes her way... a boy what a case it was ... a frantic husband calls in saying his wife disappeared. while following up the clues they all lead to one outcome... the wife just got up and left, but keri doesn't believe it and still pursues it till the end where a surprise awaits her along with more clues to her missing daughter....
now the story line is nice and well put together, the pace is quick and to the point that by the end of it you're automatically grabbing the following book... so if you like short, to the point mysteries i would recommend picking the book or any blake pierce book for that matter ^^
