Reviews

Involving, sophiticated, intelligent and suspenseful - everything a great crime thriller should be.
*Lee Child*

A gripping, twisty police procedural - fans of the Kate Daniels series will love this one.
*Shari Lapena*

With a cast of compelling characters and a chilling plot, Without a Trace sets off at a cracking pace from page one and never slows down.
*Rachel Abbott*

Mari Hannah has a rare gift. She can write compelling, page-turning suspense with the very best, but she adds heart to every page. Kate Daniels is a character to cherish, and Mari is a writer at the very top of her game.
*Steve Cavanagh*

I loved it - both compelling and incredibly moving.
*Elly Griffiths*

A personal tragedy puts Kate Daniels at the heart of an international incident, testing her skills as a detective. Without A Trace is a deft blend of emotional drama and crime procedural that kept me hooked to the very end. Mari Hannah has a talent for writing about the light and dark of life, and creates characters who feel so realistic they almost pop from the page.
*Adam Hamdy*

Mari Hannah is in the uppermost echelon of British crime writers and Without a Trace demonstrates why. It's her best book yet - compelling, emotional and intricately plotted with a procedural authenticity few can match. A stunning novel.
