Traces of her was an engaging read for me. When Willow, Roses’ sister, goes missing again, after having done same several other times; it wasn’t quite so out-of-character, not until Rose receives a package, which contains evidence of an old murder case that remains unsolved.
Does Willows disappearance link to the unsolved murder case?
This is an easy to read novel. It flips between the past and present, which is done very well. A good suspenseful, with a few twists and it pulls a bit at the heart strings.
I definitely enjoyed this book and would recommend same, Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my based on my personal preference and are in no way biased.
Traces of Her by Amanda Brittany was a real page turner. This book had me hooked and I read this in 2 train trips over the weekend. It was fast paced and keeps you interested all the way. Amanda Brittany tells a great story with characters that you can really feel for.

Only when they arrive Willow has disappeared. It isn't the first time but when she hasn't returned the next morning she starts to worry. Willow has been looking into the murder of her mother when she was a baby. What has she discovered and has it put her life in danger?
Thanks to HQ Digital and NetGalley for my advanced copy of this book to read. All opinions are my own and are in no way biased.
This was an amazing page turner. So many twists and turns and I was completely surprised by the ending.
I really enjoyed this book. As a thriller lover, this story kept me guessing until the very end. I was a little confused in the early pages, trying to keep track of all the characters, but after a few flashback stories, I had it all nailed down. I truly felt for Ava and adored how much she loved her daughter Willow. This story was definitely heart wrenching at times and I seriously wanted to shake both her mother and sister to understand their incredible cruelty. While the end was a surprise, it also requires a little bit of extended imagination. While it’s not exactly realistic, the outcome is certainly possible, overall, I really enjoyed the constant twists and turns. Overall. A really great thriller!
An enjoyable mystery that kept me guessing until very close to the end. Rose’s sister has disappeared , which is not uncommon for her. . This time, however, she has sent Rose photographs of 4 suspects from an old murder case which she has been investigating. A case with close links to her early life.
The action switches back and forth between the search for Willow and the original murder. The characters were sympathetically portrayed and there were plenty of twists and turns before the final denouncement.
This was an engaging murder mystery that kept me guessing. There was no shortage of suspects and the story gripped me from start to finish. I enjoyed the dual timeline and found both past and present storylines interesting. Definitely did not see the twist at the end coming!
An engaging murder mystery that kept me entertained for a few hours.
Rose isn't surprised by the sudden disappearance of her always unreliable sister Willow.
However, this time is different as Rose receives a mysterious package sent from Willow with photos of a cold murder case she had been obsessed with.
Rose has to find her sister before its too late, and also had to dig deeper to solve those long forgotten murders.
Will Rose and Willow survive and uncover the killer, or they will be his next victims?
The plot was pacey and the characters engaging, but when the culprit was identified the mystery became easy to predict. However still enjoyable enough especially for a beach read.
Thanks Netgalley, HQ Digital, and author Amanda Brittany for an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.
I felt like the overall plot was predictable but not the little parts to reach the surprising ending.
Rose isn’t really surprised when her flaky sister Willow, disappears, she’s hardly the most reliable person. But Rose begins to worry when she gets a package from her sister, one that contains photos of a cold case murder that Willow has been obsessed with. With no other clues to follow, Rose decides to look into the case herself. But what does an old murder in a small Cornish village have to do with her sister’s disappearance. Did Willow uncover something about the case that put her own life in danger? This is a good solid mystery, no major surprises, but an enjoyable read
A thrilling and heartfelt story; draws you in very quickly and doesn't let go. Excellent character development. Highly recommended!
Traces of Her is fast paced and throws you straight into the storyline which is dark, shocking and left me gobsmacked at times. However it falls short on being a mystery, as soon as the “bad” character was introduced I had the plot worked out, that could be because of how many of these books I read so it’s definitely worth a read to see if you work it out before the end!
I’ll finish by saying this book is average but enjoyable. I will be sharing this book with casual readers.
