FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
Trace of Doubt by DiAnn Mills was an interesting read, but I found that it was super predictable. I have read quite a few books by this author in the past, and I know I will read more by her in the future. I never hold it against an author if I find one of their books predictable because, with the number of books I have read in this genre, it is rare that I am totally shocked by a book. I felt terrible for Shelby throughout most of the book because she spent years in prison for a murder she didn’t commit, and then when she gets out, people are trying to kill her. I mean, come on, how many bad things can happen to one person. I did spend a lot of the book hoping that Shelby and Denton would end up a couple when the book was over because they were perfect for each other. I also liked that this book didn’t have any parts that would offend anybody in it. If you love reading clean mystery books, then I would for sure pick up a copy of this book or any book by this author and give them a read.

Bestselling and award-winning author DiAnn Mills delivers a heart-stopping story of dark secrets, desperate enemies, and dangerous lies.
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.
