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.

Summary
Traces of Doubt by DiAnn Mills was as much a psychological novel as much as a mystery.
Our lead character is getting out of jail. DiAnn gives you just enough hints to make your wonder from the beginning if she was incarcerated unfairly. You empathize with her as she tries to start over with the help of some secondary characters that show God’s love to her.
We then have an undercover cop that is still convinced she may know where the embezzled money is. You will not be surprised when he starts to fall for her.
They you have the diabolical villain. I wont share much here to ruin any of the plot twists.
This book is different from DiAnn’s other FBI series books but a wonderful thoughtful read.
Violence – some memories of being in jail, the murder of her brother in law,
