Fifteen years ago, Shelby Pearce confessed to murdering her brother-in-law and was sent to prison. Now she’s out on parole and looking for a fresh start in the small town of Valleysburg, Texas. But starting over won’t be easy for an ex-con.

FBI Special Agent Denton McClure was a rookie fresh out of Quantico when he was first assigned the Pearce case. He’s always believed Shelby embezzled five hundred thousand dollars from her brother-in-law’s account. So he’s going undercover to befriend Shelby, track down the missing money, and finally crack this case.

But as Denton gets closer to Shelby, he begins to have a trace of doubt about her guilt. Someone has Shelby in their crosshairs. It’s up to Denton to stop them before they silence Shelby—and the truth—forever.

Thank you to DiAnn Mills and LSBBT for allowing me to read and review the exciting Trace of Doubt.

Shelby Pearce is fresh out of prison and determined to start over and create a peaceful productive life. Agent Denton McClure is just as determined to prove Shelby is not only a murderer but a thief. Their paths collide in dramatic fashion.

Shelby's story is not so straight forward, she has many surprises for us as the author gradually peels back the story of her life. She's smart, with a gritty sense of right and wrong, protective and forgiving of others, she holds herself to a higher standard. The mystery of her life unfolds in a spectacular ending with a satisfying resolution.

Trace of Doubt is a lightning-paced romantic drama filled with with page-turning twists and unexpected surprises. Mills takes us from small town Texas to the glittering underworld of Miami. The crisp writing is engaging and entertaining. I found myself cheering for Shelby from the opening pages. Mills has created a cast of realistic characters who make this thriller a gripping ride. 

The book contains a moderate level of violence and has an overlay of Christian themes. I found it an entertaining read and would happily recommend it to readers who enjoy mystery/thrillers and romance.
