Tracy Crosswhite is a homicide detective in Seattle when she receives word that her sister Sara's body has been found twenty years after she disappeared, the same night that Tracy became engaged. Sara and Tracy had just completed a shooting competition and Sara agreed to drive home by herself in Tracy's truck since Tracy was going to a romantic dinner with her boyfriend. The disappearance upended Tracy's life, her parent's life, and the life of Cedar Grove's citizens. Thinking that something was not right about the conviction of Edmund House for her murder, for ten years Tracy tracked down every clue available, but was unable to figure out what happened to her sister. Tracy quit teaching chemistry at Cedar Grove High School after the disappearance to become a policeman and move to Seattle. The constant investigating ended her marriage. Edmund House, the nephew of Parker House, a long-time resident of Cedar Cove, Washington, was convicted without a body. Edmund House had served 6 years previously for kidnapping, rape, and attempted murder of a 16-year-old girl who had escaped from him. He was their prime suspect, but without a body, the evidence to convict was scarce. The story of her renewed investigation with the new evidence from the crime scene is told with flashbacks to what had happened over the last 20 years. ( )

This would be the first Robert Dugoni novel that I’ve ever read and if his other novels are like this, I think I’ve found an author that I’ll enjoy following along with. The book was enjoyable, as were the characters. I liked Tracy and felt sorry for her as I progressed through her stories. As you met other characters, you grew to like them or dislike them. Even some of the characters that you didn’t get to see a lot of.

There were quite a few twist and turns that I wasn’t expecting at all, but I enjoy those in crime novels so it was a pleasure to find something like this. The only thing that was a little irksome was the short chapters but that’s simply a personal annoyance for myself. There weren’t honestly many scenes in the book that were pointless or didn’t contribute to the story path though you may not realize it until the end of the book that something important was slipped into that scene. It all comes together quite nicely in the end.

I was a little miffed about some questions left at the end until I realized it was the first book in a series, so that makes things better. I’m quite curious to see where Tracy ends up at! I’m looking forward to the sequel! ( )

I am a big fan of not only crime books but crime tv. this is my first book by this author and I think it may actually be my last. the story is a great concept and while the pacing has it's high and low i was entertained but not to the point of OMG i need more. ( )

I gave this book three and a half stars. It took me a long time to read it. However, once I got about halfway through, I couldn't put it down. Overall, it was a decent book, with a good mystery. But one of the typical police procedurals. Spoiler. I was a little disappointed when the killer was actually the guy they had arrested. I kind of expected more of a twist, but I guess the twist is it was actually him that did it. I did love the end how the sister who has been dead for 20 years, help save her sister by leaving the clue in the cave. My mom is a big fan of this author so I'm intrigued to check out some of his other later books. ( )

This is the first in the popular Tracy Crosswhite series. It has been on my TBR for a very long time as I have read all nine others, but missed this one.

In this introduction to Tracy, she is a detective with Seattle police department. Twenty years ago, when she was a teacher in small town Cedar Grove, her younger sister, Sarah, went missing. Someone was arrested for her murder and is serving jail time. Because a body was never found, Sarah has always been unsettled about what really happened and even spent a lot of time doing her own investigation. When Sarah’s remains are finally discovered, evidence is revealed that is contrary to what was used to convict the alleged killer. Things just don’t add up and she contacts childhood friend, attorney Dan O’Leary, to request a new trial for the “killer” so that the truth can finally be uncovered. When the prisoner is unexpectedly set free, it unleashes secrets, danger, and perhaps a lasting relationship for Tracy.

This is one of my favorite series. Tracy is strong willed and has a mind of her own, which can often get her into trouble. Having read all the subsequent books, it was fun to see how Tracy has grown and changed a bit as the stories have progressed. What hasn’t changed, though, is that from the beginning, Dugoni writes a story that pulls you in and doesn’t let you go until you finish.

If you like police procedurals with strong female MCs, and are not familiar with Robert Dugoni’s works, do become acquainted with them. The books work as stand alones as Dugoni does a good job of filling in background information in each one, but I think it is much more satisfying to read all of them now that I have. ( )
