Helen's Reviews > The Last Trace

What happens when you have a memory blank, could you have committed a crime, this is what happens to Lachy Wilson it has happened a few times now and it is starting to worry him, he is now got the care of his fifteen year old son Kia and there is also the fact that he has been asked for a DNA test by a young woman he doesn’t really remember, life is getting hard for Lachy how will this all turn out?

Sheridan loves her brother, Lachy and her nephew Kia they are a very close family and with the loss of their father and their mother now in care suffering from dementia and Lachy back in Australia they are planning Easter at the family property something that has been done for many years but it soon turns into a near tragedy and everything changes.

Lachy and Kia take a trip to the States so as Lachy can first chase up the woman who requested his DNA, also to look up a young woman from his past and to talk to his boss about a workmate but pretty much as soon as he arrives the police are requesting an interview about the DNA test.
Soon the past is being unraveled and secrets unearthed will Lachy finally be able to put the past to rest and think about the future for him and his son and family, his American family finally know what happened to their sister and Lachy and Sheridan have a better understanding about their mother’s early years.

This story takes in family and secrets set in 1968 in America and now two different eras in two different countries how times change, Lachy woks around the world helping with water resources and cares about the environment, this one was slow to start for me but the ending worked out really well and I would recommend this one to anyone who enjoys a good mystery.

My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
