A story that is fast paced and very much exciting.
I loved the mystery that surrounded the whole thing. It was what kept me turning the pages!
I love this author because she keeps you guessing through the whole book.
I can't imagine what Lacey went through but my heart went out to her.
I liked this book in many way because it shows us that people can change after they grow up. Sometimes for the better and sometimes not so good. Either way none of us are perfect and that's what my favorite thing about this story was.
And we can't forget Scarlett! She's amazing!
My favorite character. Dogs are so much like people. They are so intelligent and lovable!
Eason is a gifted story teller. Her books always draw me in from the beginning to end!
I am eagerly awaiting the next one!
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review and all opinions are my own.

Heroine’s father scammed a few town folks and she was person-non-grata that made it impossible to stay. She leaves the man she loves heartbroken and years later she returns to find her missing sister and reunites with Creed (her ex) who helps her investigate.

While I liked the suspense and the couple very much (they were supportive of one another and talked things out), I didn’t feel their romance so much because there was no sex scenes! This was mostly a PG read and I like some smut in my reads.

I was provided an advanced copy of this book by the publisher/author in order to provide an honest review. Thank you for the opportunity!

"Following the Trail" is a romantic suspense. I enjoyed that the tracking K9 got to do her thing several times as often K9s turn into pet dogs after their initial job in the story. However, what's the point of having a tracking K9 if you stop tracking the scent of the bad guy the moment he disappears from sight...when tracking would be really useful? (The trail goes through a building, but they know what door was used to exit the building and no effort was made to pick up the trail in the Advanced Reader Copy of this book.)

Anyway, Lacey's father scammed a bunch of people in town, who took out their anger on his family. Lacey was determined to leave her hometown while her boyfriend wanted to stay near his family and friends. They still care for each other, and they discover that they like the more mature versions of each other, too. Creed's more willing to listen to her feelings, and Lacey realizes that the people of the town have largely stopped being angry at her.

The main characters reacted realistically to events, and I cared about what happened to them. Lacey and Creed worked well together and supported each other. The suspense came from someone repeatedly attacking them in an effort to prevent them from discovering the truth behind the murder. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable suspense novel.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
