Barely a Trace

Mary Beth Trace has had about all she can take of her lazy husband's irresponsible behavior. Between her full-time job, taking care of the kids and the house, and cleaning up Gerry's messes, she has little free time for anything but daydreaming about a better life. Without Gerry.

Now Gerry is missing, leaving a blood-spattered car and a trail of angry clients. And the police have confiscated her laptop, bulging at the seams with catty emails and a personal journal containing her most private, damning thoughts. Tom Kelly, the seasoned detective on the case, knows something is fishy about Gerry's law practice, and that Gerry is not an innocent victim. Can Kelly uncover the real truth behind Gerry's disappearance before his ambitious captain orders Mary Beth arrested for murder?

How Mary Beth copes with the police, three young children, the Mother-in-Law from Hell, an incontinent dog, and the rigors of her job while coming to terms with Gerry's betrayal and her own conscience, will test her faith and set the course for her family's future.
