Summary
Solving a decades-old disappearance sets Tracy Crosswhite on a dangerous collision course with the past in a pulse-pounding novel by New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni。
Detective Tracy Crosswhite has agreed to look into the disappearance of investigative reporter Lisa Childress。 Solving the cold case is an obsession for Lisa’s daughter， Anita。 So is clearing the name of her father， a prime suspect who became a pariah。 After twenty-five years， all Anita wants is the truth—no matter where it leads。
For Tracy， that means reopening the potentially explosive investigations Lisa was following on the dark night she vanished: an exposé of likely mayoral graft; the shocking rumors of a reserved city councilman’s criminal sex life; a drug task force scandal compromising the Seattle PD; and an elusive serial killer who disappeared just as mysteriously as Lisa。
As all the pieces come together， it becomes clear that Tracy is in the midst of a case that will push her loyalties and her resilience to the limit。 What she uncovers will come with a greater price than anyone feared。

Detective Tracy Crosswhite is finishing up a multiple victim cold case when she receives a phone call from a young investigative reporter wanting her to look into the cold case of her mother who disappeared twenty four years ago。 During her investigation Tracy finds that the original detectives were lacking and also finds evidence that there was possible police corruption that the missing reporter was on to。 Did that play into the reporter going missing and might she still be alive。。。。

This is the ninth book in the Tracy Crosswhite series。 I have not read all of them and not in any order but I felt that this story holds up on its own。 Tracy is now working cold cases and has a decent relationship with Chief Weber until Tracy gets a call from a young woman， Anita， whose mother went missing 24 years earlier。 Even though the Chief wants Tracy to solve cases that have DNA evidence she is still haunted by the time her own sister was missing and agrees to help Anita。 When she gets a This is the ninth book in the Tracy Crosswhite series。 I have not read all of them and not in any order but I felt that this story holds up on its own。 Tracy is now working cold cases and has a decent relationship with Chief Weber until Tracy gets a call from a young woman， Anita， whose mother went missing 24 years earlier。 Even though the Chief wants Tracy to solve cases that have DNA evidence she is still haunted by the time her own sister was missing and agrees to help Anita。 When she gets a solid lead on finding the missing investigative reporter， Lisa Childress， she decides to pursue it。 What she doesn't realize it what kind of can of worms she is opening。This book has a lot of characters and I wish I had kept better track of them but the story moved along well。 There was no heart pounding action but still the story took some turns I didn't expect and kept me turning pages to the end。Robert Dugoni is one of those authors that I can expect a really good story and so far I have not been disappointed and look forward to reading more books by him。I would like to thank Netgalley and Thomas and Mercer for providing me with a copy。 。。。more

This was my introduction to Tracy Crosswhite， but it was fine as a stand alone police drama。 Perhaps because it was the 9th in a series or perhaps because every single person in authority was a woman， it was most definitely a drama – personal anguish， excessive thoughts prior to a decision， emotional stress。 In fact there was a lot of excess in everything – lots of characters， lots of graft， lots of leaks。After Sam Hell， this was a disappointment， but of course， it was a different genre。I apprec This was my introduction to Tracy Crosswhite， but it was fine as a stand alone police drama。 Perhaps because it was the 9th in a series or perhaps because every single person in authority was a woman， it was most definitely a drama – personal anguish， excessive thoughts prior to a decision， emotional stress。 In fact there was a lot of excess in everything – lots of characters， lots of graft， lots of leaks。After Sam Hell， this was a disappointment， but of course， it was a different genre。I appreciate this ARC from NetGalley and the publisher， Thomas and Mercer， in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Tracy Crosswhite is back in the 9th installment of the Tracy Crosswhite series！ Tracy has been approached by Anita Childress whose mother; Lisa Childress went missing when Anita was 2 years old。 Anita has always wondered what happened to her mother as her body was never found and the police only focused on her father as the prime suspect。 Tracy， who works in cold cases， agrees to investigate the case。 Soon Tracy finds that there is more to this story than meets the eye。 Lisa Childress was an inv Tracy Crosswhite is back in the 9th installment of the Tracy Crosswhite series！ Tracy has been approached by Anita Childress whose mother; Lisa Childress went missing when Anita was 2 years old。 Anita has always wondered what happened to her mother as her body was never found and the police only focused on her father as the prime suspect。 Tracy， who works in cold cases， agrees to investigate the case。 Soon Tracy finds that there is more to this story than meets the eye。 Lisa Childress was an investigative reporter who was meeting a source in the middle of the night， when she went missing。 Has Tracy bit off more than she can chew with this case？ Who was Lisa Childress meeting that night？ What was she investigating？I will admit that after the gripping and riveting opening chapter of the book， things took a slower turn， and I struggled a little with the book。 Then the 50 % mark came and WOWZA， Dugoni kicked things into high gear， and I could not get enough。 The first part of this book builds the story and mystery and the second half had me fully invested and wanting more。 This book is heavy on detective work and showcases Tracy personality and detective work。 She will not let things go due in part to her dedication to her job also due to her competitive nature。 She doesn't mind ruffling a few feathers if it means solving a case。Dugoni delivers every time， although this was slow in the beginning for me， it paid off and he has me wanting more and looking forward to book #10。**Buddy read with Mary Beth。 Please read her review as well。Thank you to Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 All the thoughts and opinions are my own。Read more of my reviews at www。openbookposts。com 。。。more

Tracy Crosswhite is still doing cold cases and this time she gets a good one。 A reporter missing for 25 years and a sloppy investigation that connects to The last Line。 What She Found by Robert Dugoni is a very nice way to connect two different stories and it revolves a lot around the culture within the police department。 I always find Dugonis books well written and hard to put down and this one is no exception。 There are a lot of both good and bad in this story but I will leave it up to you as Tracy Crosswhite is still doing cold cases and this time she gets a good one。 A reporter missing for 25 years and a sloppy investigation that connects to The last Line。 What She Found by Robert Dugoni is a very nice way to connect two different stories and it revolves a lot around the culture within the police department。 I always find Dugonis books well written and hard to put down and this one is no exception。 There are a lot of both good and bad in this story but I will leave it up to you as a reader to find that out。 I must thank Thomas and Mercer and Netgalley for giving me this advance copy and Robert Dugoni for writing it。 。。。more

What She Found is the 9th book in the Tracey Crosswhite series and keeps up the tradition of a strong police procedural。 Tracey remains the sole detective in the cold case area of the Seattle PD。 She’s coming off a big serial killer case when she gets a call from a daughter， asking for her mother’s missing person case to be re-opened。 The mother， an investigative reporter， disappeared 25 years ago when she went out in the middle of the night to meet a confidential source。 While her boss wants he What She Found is the 9th book in the Tracey Crosswhite series and keeps up the tradition of a strong police procedural。 Tracey remains the sole detective in the cold case area of the Seattle PD。 She’s coming off a big serial killer case when she gets a call from a daughter， asking for her mother’s missing person case to be re-opened。 The mother， an investigative reporter， disappeared 25 years ago when she went out in the middle of the night to meet a confidential source。 While her boss wants her to focus on cases with DNA， Tracey keeps investigating this， especially the cases the reporter was working on。 And several names of police officers keep coming up。 This was a well done tale about drug dealing， corruption and solving a case as old as this one。 It felt very realistic， with a healthy mix of politics and legal standards of proof。 I liked that the ending didn’t involve any big display of force or violence。 I also liked that we learn more about Del’s start on the force。 The Author’s Notes also made me aware of a short story that details even more about Del called The Last Line （available for free to Prime members）。 Dugoni does a great job fleshing out his characters。 And not just the main characters， but also the characters that are unique to this story， like Henderson Jones。 My thanks to Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for an advance copy of this book。 。。。more

What She Found is the latest Tracy Crosswhite story by Robert Dugoni。 Mr Dugoni never disappoints。 The latest Crosswhite is a page turner that also gave me goosebumps at times。 Reading What She Found was like catching up with an old friend。 I want to thank NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for an early copy to review。

The Tracy Crosswhite series has evolved into one of my favorites。 I feel each book has been better than the last， and What She Dound is no exception。In this installment， Tracy works the cold case of Lisa Childers at request of the victim’s daughter。 Lisa disappeared 24 years before the book starts。 What follows is a well done police procedural， which slowly builds to a satisfying conclusion。 The book is tightly plotted， and it’s such a pleasure to see how the main characters have grown from book The Tracy Crosswhite series has evolved into one of my favorites。 I feel each book has been better than the last， and What She Dound is no exception。In this installment， Tracy works the cold case of Lisa Childers at request of the victim’s daughter。 Lisa disappeared 24 years before the book starts。 What follows is a well done police procedural， which slowly builds to a satisfying conclusion。 The book is tightly plotted， and it’s such a pleasure to see how the main characters have grown from book to book。Highly recommended series， though there’s not much need to read the prior eight books to be able to enjoy What She Found。My thanks to the publisher and to Netgalley for providing an ARC of the book。 。。。more

A decorated detective， Tracy Crosswhite views herself as a voice for those who no longer have voices as she sets out to solve cold cases and bring justice in whatever form she can for the families left behind。 Although this book is the ninth in the series， it's the first （but probably not the last） I've read。 Jumping into the middle of the series wasn't a problem as the story stands alone fine。 A former chemistry teacher， Tracy's life changed forever when her sister disappeared as a teenager。 No A decorated detective， Tracy Crosswhite views herself as a voice for those who no longer have voices as she sets out to solve cold cases and bring justice in whatever form she can for the families left behind。 Although this book is the ninth in the series， it's the first （but probably not the last） I've read。 Jumping into the middle of the series wasn't a problem as the story stands alone fine。 A former chemistry teacher， Tracy's life changed forever when her sister disappeared as a teenager。 Now she's trying to find out what happened to other missing women， in particular a Seattle investigative reporter who disappeared almost 25 years ago， leaving a husband and toddler behind。 Her daughter， who followed her missing mother into investigative journalism， approached Crosswhite to reopen the case and help find out what happened to her mother all those years ago。 A thriller， more than a mystery， Dugoni's writing is like watching a TV series。 He slowly builds the plot with red herrings and corrupt cops， throwing in twists that I didn't anticipate。 I enjoyed reading it and will watch for more episodes with Ms。 Crosswhite leading the investigation。Thank you to Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for the Advance Reader Copy and introduction to Dugoni's work。 。。。more

I haven't read any of this series before。 I liked the idea of a cold case investigation。 Tracy was a strong female lead character which is always good， I wouldn't say I found her likeable， maybe it was just this book and the case she was investigating。 I found the book dragged in places and had lots of dialogue which isn't my cup of tea。 I would recommend this to others if they like a police series and I would dip in and try another one。Thank you netgalley for this advanced copy of this book for I haven't read any of this series before。 I liked the idea of a cold case investigation。 Tracy was a strong female lead character which is always good， I wouldn't say I found her likeable， maybe it was just this book and the case she was investigating。 I found the book dragged in places and had lots of dialogue which isn't my cup of tea。 I would recommend this to others if they like a police series and I would dip in and try another one。Thank you netgalley for this advanced copy of this book for a honest review 。。。more

What She Found is the ninth book in the Tracy Crosswhite series by best-selling award-winning American author， Robert Dugoni。 With her successes in her new role as the Cold Case detective being publicised， Tracy Crosswhite is asked by Seattle Times journalist， Anita Childress to look into the disappearance of her mother， then a Seattle Post-Intelligencer journalist， twenty-four years earlier。In late February， 1996， after a phone call， Lisa Childress went out in the early hours to meet a source a What She Found is the ninth book in the Tracy Crosswhite series by best-selling award-winning American author， Robert Dugoni。 With her successes in her new role as the Cold Case detective being publicised， Tracy Crosswhite is asked by Seattle Times journalist， Anita Childress to look into the disappearance of her mother， then a Seattle Post-Intelligencer journalist， twenty-four years earlier。In late February， 1996， after a phone call， Lisa Childress went out in the early hours to meet a source and never returned。 Was she abducted by someone that one of her powerful hard-hitting news articles would damage？ Did she leave of her own accord？ Or did her husband murder her？ It was this last that Seattle Detective Moss Gunderson settled on and pursued， without result。 While she suspects that Lisa is probably dead， Tracy decides not to reject any of the possibilities。 Photos and a police sketch of Lisa as she would now look go onto a web page appealing for information。 Lisa was working on four investigations at the time: a corrupt ex-mayor， a mayoral candidate facing accusations of impropriety， the Route 99 serial killer， and cops skimming off drug busts。 After some preliminary calls and interviews， it seems the police corruption around the drug busts is most worth a detailed follow up。 But her colleague， Detective Del Castigliano， whose first murder case is closely related， is uncharacteristically evasive， and Detective Vic Fazio warns her that those covering up such a situation wouldn’t hesitate at violence: she should watch her back。 Tracy realises that city authorities might also have a stake in keeping things quiet to avoid what could be a national embarrassment of the highest order。 In typical Tracy Crosswhite fashion， she doggedly pursues every lead， does some intelligent detective work， and eventually， she’s pretty sure she knows what happened， but she doesn’t have any credible evidence to prove it。Dugoni offers another tightly plotted police procedural and just when the reader thinks they know where the story is going， he throws in an excellent twist。 While not essential， reading the short story The Last Line first does enhance the enjoyment of this novel。 Brilliant crime fiction， once again。This unbiased review is from an uncorrected proof copy provided by NetGalley and Thomas and Mercer。 。。。more
