Summary
An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling series。
What family secrets are behind two disappearances？ Seattle detective Tracy Crosswhite is determined to uncover the truth in the latest installment of New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni’s heart-stopping series。
Returning from an extended leave in her hometown of Cedar Grove， Detective Tracy Crosswhite finds herself reassigned to the Seattle PD’s cold case unit。 As the protective mother of an infant daughter， Tracy is immediately drawn to her first file: the abduction of a five-year-old girl whose parents， embattled in a poisonous divorce， were once prime suspects。
While reconstructing the days leading up to the girl’s disappearance， Tracy is brought into an active investigation with former partner Kinsington Rowe。 A young woman has vanished on an isolated jogging trail in North Seattle。 Divided between two critical cases， Tracy has little to go on except the treacherous deceptions behind a broken marriage—and now， the secrets hiding behind the closed doors of a deceptively quiet middle-class neighborhood。
To find two missing persons， Tracy will have to follow more than clues， which are both long cold and unsettlingly fresh。 Given her own traumatic past， Tracy must also follow her instincts—to whatever dark and dangerous places they may lead。

providing me with a copy of this publication， which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review。Robert Dugoni is back with another Tracy Crosswhite police procedural procedural， but adds a certain twist to keep the reader guessing。 It’s been a tough go for Seattle PD Homicide Detective Crosswhite， but she is not one to let bumps in the road derail her work。 Returning from maternity leave， Crosswhite is forced to take a position she does not want， but tosses herself into the work。 She discovers an intriguing case that appears to be without strong leads。 When Crosswhite is pulled into an active case， she finds her spark again， much to the chagrin of a captain who wants her under his foot。 The missing and presumed dead have a voice in Detective Tracy Crosswhite， but she will have to breathe life into their cases before they go cold。While she loves motherhood， Tracy Crosswhite cannot wait to get back to work。 Returning to the Seattle PD’s Homicide Team， Crosswhite hopes to have her position back。 However， her wily captain has other ideas， citing that they need to fill the spot while she was on maternity leave。 Offering her a position as the cold case detective—one that everyone is sure Crosswhite will decline—it’s a chance for Tracy to decide what she wants next。 A pep talk with the retiring detective leaves her willing to give it a shot， if only to scuttle the plans of her nemesis for a while longer。Crosswhite scours the list of cases and finds one that piques her interest。 A little girl went missing when her father took her to a corn maze and was never seen again。 Part of a bitter custody battle， the little girl made numerous comments about how her parents fought before the separation。 As a beat cop at the time of the disappearance， the father pulls on the heartstrings of Crosswhite， but she must remain objective。Working on a few of the leads that go nowhere， Crosswhite is pulled into the middle of a fresh investigation with her former partner。 A young jogger has gone missing in a local park and no one saw anything。 Canvassing the neighbourhood， Crosswhite comes across three brothers who live together but seem to be hiding something。 With nothing concrete to assert her claims of guilt， Crosswhite will have to pursue a few options on the sly。 While her missing girl case is going nowhere fast， Detective Crosswhite finds herself fixated on this jogger and how she could have disappeared into thin air。 There’s something that is not adding up and those who know Tracy Crosswhite understand that she is not one to let opportunity slip through her fingers。 She’ll use all her resources to get to the bottom of it， even if it means putting her future in jeopardy with a captain who wants her head on a platter。There’s something about this series that has always kept me fully engaged and wondering。 Robert Dugoni has crafted a stellar cast and writes so fluidly as to keep the reader on their toes。 New ideas emerge with each novel and the series gets better the deeper into the characters Dugoni pulls the reader。 I can see this being one series that will not get old any time soon。Tracy Crosswhite is a stellar detective in her own right， having grown effectively over the last number of novels。 Her grit and determination are like no other and she keeps her eye on the prize throughout， hoping to make the most of what is offered to her。 Balancing work with motherhood has been tough， but Crosswhite has found a balance， even though it has come at the cost of her preferred job。 It will take all she has inside her to solve the cases placed at her feet， while dodging the obstacles of suspects and a captain with an ax to grind。 There is mention throughout her cold case investigation about how a missing child can tear a family apart， something Crosswhite knows all too well from her sister’s disappearance。 Guilt is nothing new for Detective Tracy Crosswhite， which makes her all the more intriguing as she strives for truth。Dugoni creates a string of strong secondary characters in this piece that complement Crosswhite when the need arises。 Pulled from a variety of sources， those who fill the gaps and keep the reader intrigued offer their own spin on these missing persons cases。 Some are straightforward while others prefer to present deceptive fronts， all of whom work well to keep the reader wondering what’s to come。 The recurring cast is always welcome， but I also enjoy how Dugoni has created new and one-off characters that keep things exciting for all readers。There’s something to be said for the novels in this series， as they take police procedurals to a new level。 While there are the essential elements found throughout， Robert Dugoni uses his strong writing abilities to create a certain magnetism that pulls the reader into the middle of the case and won’t let go。 The narrative pushes along effectively and keeps the reader on their toes until the very end， when the pieces finally come together。 It’s a piece that may reveal itself slowly， but once the momentum is started， there’s not tapping on the brakes。 Short to mid-length chapters propel the reader forward and keep the story on track， as much is revealed with each page turn。 I can only wonder what’s to come and how Dugoni will continue to shape his core set of characters with new and exciting hurdles。Kudos， Mr。 Dugoni， for another winner。 Your work is some of the best in the genre and I can only hope you have many more ideas to share soon。Love/hate the review？ An ever-growing collection of others appears at:

The Tracy Crosswhite series is a favourite of mine and I got hooked on it six years ago with the first book， My Sister's Grave。 This compelling series is a mix of crime drama， police procedural and suspense that features a skilled police detective who has lived through a complicated past filled with great personal loss。In this eighth book in the series， Tracy returns from maternity and compassionate leave with a new role in the Violent Crimes division and two cases on her plate - a cold case of The Tracy Crosswhite series is a favourite of mine and I got hooked on it six years ago with the first book， My Sister's Grave。 This compelling series is a mix of crime drama， police procedural and suspense that features a skilled police detective who has lived through a complicated past filled with great personal loss。In this eighth book in the series， Tracy returns from maternity and compassionate leave with a new role in the Violent Crimes division and two cases on her plate - a cold case of a missing child and the recent case of a missing 19-year-old jogger。 I enjoyed this new cold case twist to Tracy's police role which will bring interesting new plot lines。 I also liked seeing members of her police squad （and how she deals with her nemesis， Captain Nolasco） in this latest installment。In Her Tracks is a total page-turner and while I thought I had figured out one of the two cases Tracy was working on， Dugoni gave me a twist I hadn't expected， and I loved it！ Tracy continues to be an edgy police detective who has new changes in her home life but Dugoni keeps her career centerstage as he skillfully blends subplots in this gripping read。With great pacing， high tension and crimes that are not for the faint of heart， once again Dugoni proves why this is a must-read series for suspense fans。 In Her Tracks can be read as a standalone but long-time fans of the series may appreciate the story a bit more knowing all that Tracy has been through as she gets back in the proverbial saddle as a strong， take no guff police detective who is learning to balance her career with her new responsibilities at home。 Look for this book in stores April 20th。Disclaimer: Thanks to Thomas and Mercer and Robert Dugoni for my complimentary advanced digital copy provided in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

In Her Tracks （Tracy Crosswhite #8） by Robert DugoniTracy Crosswhite is back！ Even though her baby is already ten months old， she is just coming back from extended maternity/compassionate leave and Tracy now sees a counselor regularly due to events from book #7。 Despite the fact that she should be getting her old position back， she's reluctant to bump another woman out of that job so she takes the opening as the only person on the cold case unit。 The hours should be less grueling and will allow In Her Tracks （Tracy Crosswhite #8） by Robert DugoniTracy Crosswhite is back！ Even though her baby is already ten months old， she is just coming back from extended maternity/compassionate leave and Tracy now sees a counselor regularly due to events from book #7。 Despite the fact that she should be getting her old position back， she's reluctant to bump another woman out of that job so she takes the opening as the only person on the cold case unit。 The hours should be less grueling and will allow her to be home with Dan and the baby in the evening and on weekends。 Tracy picks three cold cases to work and two of them （missing prostitutes） have a connection with a current missing girl case that her former partner， Kins is working and he asks her help。 So basically， Tracy is back in the game， once again raising her stress level by focusing on cases that are similar to that of her long missing， now known dead， sister's case。 Dan's worried， her counselor is worried， but Tracy can't give up on these women。 Quickly， Tracy and Kins have their sights on three brothers who are working hard to stonewall the detectives。 Tracy is also investigating the cold case of a missing five year old girl who disappeared from a corn maze five years earlier。 I like that Tracy knows she wants to work， knows she has to do this right now， and doesn't let the fact that she is going to miss some firsts with her baby keep her from pursuing the job she loves。 She and Dan have a full time， trusted nanny， the baby is with people who love her， at all times， and Tracy can continue to help those who depend on someone who cares。 This is another entertaining addition to the Crosswhite series and I'm glad that Tracy is still on the job。 Expected publication: April 20th 2021Thank you to Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for this ARC。 。。。more

I will start by saying I have not read any of the series before this one and this book can easily read as a stand alone detective mystery。 I was thoroughly engaged in this story。 The idea that such horrible things could happen in a quiet suburban neighborhood without anyone knowing is disheartening。 Every parent’s nightmare is learning their child is missing so this one hit close to home as a parent。 The police procedural was well researched and described without being overwhelming。 I recommend I will start by saying I have not read any of the series before this one and this book can easily read as a stand alone detective mystery。 I was thoroughly engaged in this story。 The idea that such horrible things could happen in a quiet suburban neighborhood without anyone knowing is disheartening。 Every parent’s nightmare is learning their child is missing so this one hit close to home as a parent。 The police procedural was well researched and described without being overwhelming。 I recommend this book to those who like crime mystery and police procedural。 。。。more

Tracy Crosswhite does it again。 If you’ve read the prior books， you’ll see how mature Tracy has become since getting married and have a baby。 She moves to a new department within the police station and I can’t wait to read more about her experience with cold cases。 Plus she’ll always have the guys with her。 Kins， Faz， and Del - hopefully there are more stories with them。 Great read！

Kidnapping and Obsessions I had expected a pigeon-holed mystery with a female protagonist who overcomes bias and solves cases that remain unsolved。 I have not read the Tracy Crosswhite series （love her last name） and was fittingly surprised by her characterization。 Detective Crosswhite is returning from maternity leave and she believes she will resume her successful position in the Violent Crimes Section。 Not surprisingly， there is the male boss who wants to elevate his power。 This situation is Kidnapping and Obsessions I had expected a pigeon-holed mystery with a female protagonist who overcomes bias and solves cases that remain unsolved。 I have not read the Tracy Crosswhite series （love her last name） and was fittingly surprised by her characterization。 Detective Crosswhite is returning from maternity leave and she believes she will resume her successful position in the Violent Crimes Section。 Not surprisingly， there is the male boss who wants to elevate his power。 This situation is no different; Capt。 Nolasco “invites” Tracy to become the one-person Detective assigned to the Cold Case Unit。 Instead of complaining， she accepts the new position and throws herself into unsolved cases and a current missing woman situation。 Tracy is balancing marriage， a newborn and acclimating herself to a new job as such。What sets Tracy apart from the stereotyped detective is her flaws。 She questions her choices and always remembers her sister who disappeared。 To keep her feet on the ground， she regularly sees a counselor to interpret her decisions。 Tracy is a decisive detective but more introspective than most。There are two cases that are bearing down on her。 One involves Elle Chin， a young child who disappears while she is in the care of her father， divorced from a detestable ex-wife Jewel Chin。 The other involves three abductions: two prostitutes and Stephanie Cole， a young woman and runner， who is missing after a jog in an unfamiliar area。 The three women are connected to the Sprague Family， a trio of brothers， headed by Franklin who besieges Carrol and Evan。 The cruelty is off the charts and there is always a background story that is not surprising。Dugoni has crafted a meticulous plot infused with extreme cruelty and minimal humanity。 He did tie all the parts together and the end became a page turner。 My gratitude to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for a pre-published copy。 My opinions are all my own。 。。。more

I loved this latest story in the Tracy Crosswhite series。 Detective Tracy Crosswhite is back to work after taking some time off after her last case。 A change in assignment has led her to looking at cold cases， but that doesn’t stop her from lending a hand to her team when a girl goes missing。 This was one of my favorites in this series。 I highly recommend this book along with every other book Dugoni has written。 Thank you to Netgalley for letting me read an early copy of this book。

Detective Tracy Crosswhite is back in Seattle after an extended stay in her childhood hometown of Cedar Grove and ready to head back into work。 However things have changed and she finds her future is to be running the cold case unit alone！ Getting straight to work reading through the files left by the former officer in charge Tracy is drawn to an unsolved missing child case just as her former partner asks for help on a suspected abduction。 As she sifts through clues in both investigations Tracy Detective Tracy Crosswhite is back in Seattle after an extended stay in her childhood hometown of Cedar Grove and ready to head back into work。 However things have changed and she finds her future is to be running the cold case unit alone！ Getting straight to work reading through the files left by the former officer in charge Tracy is drawn to an unsolved missing child case just as her former partner asks for help on a suspected abduction。 As she sifts through clues in both investigations Tracy is faced with dead ends and untruths which take time she doesn't have to unravel。 With the weather worsening and office politics hindering her progress she has to wonder if either case will have a successful outcome。 Tracy Crosswhite is a relatable， likeable main protagonist who has matured and grown throughout this extremely popular and satisfying series。 There is a comprehension of the problems Tracy has had and is now experiencing which show an understanding from the author of the differing effects of trauma on those who suffer life changing events。 However chilling the crimes， and these are definitely that， the way the book reads is， as usual， sympathetic from the get go。 I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the opinions expressed are my own。 This is an excellent read which will leave you feeling a little better about the world we live in。 。。。more

The latest installment in the Tracy Crosswhite series does not disappoint。 Tracy has been reassigned to the cold case division after an extended leave after her previous case。 Tracy isn't all that happy to be reassigned in the beginning， but is quickly drawn into the case of a missing five year old girl Elle。 Meanwhile， her former squad is investigating the current case of Stephanie， who went missing while jogging。 I enjoyed how the author integrated the the past with the present and made it all The latest installment in the Tracy Crosswhite series does not disappoint。 Tracy has been reassigned to the cold case division after an extended leave after her previous case。 Tracy isn't all that happy to be reassigned in the beginning， but is quickly drawn into the case of a missing five year old girl Elle。 Meanwhile， her former squad is investigating the current case of Stephanie， who went missing while jogging。 I enjoyed how the author integrated the the past with the present and made it all relevant。 A few twists here and there and some humor as well。 A good read！ Hoping there will be another book in this series。 I'm not done with Tracy and her crew yet！Thanks to netgalley and Thomas Mercer for the arc。 。。。more

Many thanks to Net Galley， Thomas & Mercer， and the author for a chance to read and review this book。 All opinions are expressed voluntarily。In Her Tracks is book # 8 in the Tracy Crosswhite series by Robert Dugoni。 This surely can be read as a stand-alone， but I would strongly advise you to read them to understand the relationships between Tracy and her team of detectives and also the why of the antagonism between Tracy and her chief Captain Nolasco。 Tracy has been assigned to the cold case div Many thanks to Net Galley， Thomas & Mercer， and the author for a chance to read and review this book。 All opinions are expressed voluntarily。In Her Tracks is book # 8 in the Tracy Crosswhite series by Robert Dugoni。 This surely can be read as a stand-alone， but I would strongly advise you to read them to understand the relationships between Tracy and her team of detectives and also the why of the antagonism between Tracy and her chief Captain Nolasco。 Tracy has been assigned to the cold case division after returning from maternity leave and very soon 2 cases seem to grab her attention。 Simultaneously， her partner Kins requests help in tracing a girl who is reported missing by her mother。 The investigation gets going brilliantly as Tracy and Kins follow leads and Tracy also reinvestigates the cold case of 5 yr old girl and 2 prostitutes missing from the area where the current incident also occurs。 It is Robert Dugoni， and surely there’s the thrilling ride to finish keeping the readers on their toes bringing in unexpected twists and turns， and finally to a horrifying climax amidst a lovely residential area。I have been a long-time fan of Tracy Crosswhite and each of her cases from book 1 to 7 has been engrossing at best。 Book #8 somehow fell short and that could be partly due to my over-expectations。 After having read all the books and 2 novellas in the series， I had quite high hopes for this one too， NO， don’t get me wrong， this is a really good police procedural but just not exceptional。 The WOW factor was mellowed down in this book probably reflecting the change in Tracy after becoming a mother and suffering from PTSD following the incidents in her last case。 Kins in one of his conversations describes Tracy as a pistol but that particular firebrand intensity was lost in this story。Once again， I loved the bonding between Tracy and Kins and honestly look forward to more from this series。This review is published in my blog https://rainnbooks。com/， Goodreads， Amazon India， Meduim。com， Facebook， and Twitter。 。。。more

Thank you to the author， Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。This is the second book I've read that's a part of this series - and it's just as great as the last one。 There have been some big changes in the life of the protagonist: she's returned to work， leaving her infant daughter at home with an au pair， but is not able to slot back into her previous position， Instead， she ends up in "Cold Cases"， but does get involved in a current case as well。 Again， lot Thank you to the author， Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。This is the second book I've read that's a part of this series - and it's just as great as the last one。 There have been some big changes in the life of the protagonist: she's returned to work， leaving her infant daughter at home with an au pair， but is not able to slot back into her previous position， Instead， she ends up in "Cold Cases"， but does get involved in a current case as well。 Again， lots of different storylines， but the author moves seamlessly between cases， and helps the reader feel the tension that surrounds a missing persons case， and the agony of dealing with （c）old cases。 At the same time， the story is a solid police procedural， and suspenseful to the end。 Lots of twists and turns， and some more intense parts （kidnapping， abuse - but not gory）。 Very suspenseful， and the strong female lead is becoming one of my favorites。 。。。more

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the ARC of 'In Her Tracks'， this is my honest review。Tracy Crosswhite （and the rest of the team bar Nolasco） are some of my favourite characters in crime fiction and with 'In Her Tracks' Dugoni reminds me why。Following the events of 'A Cold Trail，' Tracy is understandably shaken but is seeking help from her therapist with keeping her mental health in check even when a transfer to cold cases （thanks to the gift that keeps on giving， Captain Nolasco） has h Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the ARC of 'In Her Tracks'， this is my honest review。Tracy Crosswhite （and the rest of the team bar Nolasco） are some of my favourite characters in crime fiction and with 'In Her Tracks' Dugoni reminds me why。Following the events of 'A Cold Trail，' Tracy is understandably shaken but is seeking help from her therapist with keeping her mental health in check even when a transfer to cold cases （thanks to the gift that keeps on giving， Captain Nolasco） has her looking through long since shelved cases that mainly involve young women and children。A five-year-old cold case of a missing child and a barely week-old case of a missing young woman test Tracy and make her think about whether she wants to keep doing her job。Tracy and Dan's daughter Daniella is now ten months old and the light of their lives but unfortunately the work of a detective is never over！'In Her tracks' has many moving parts but Tracy is able to navigate the waters and work things out in her way even with Nolasco and the guilty parties trying to slow her down。I loved this book overall although I did feel that the ending was rushed。I hope that Robert Dugoni continues to gift us with Tracy Crosswhite in the future。 。。。more

This is the eighth book in the Tracey Crosswhite series， but it can easily be read as a stand alone。 Since Tracey is coming back to Seattle PD from an extended maternity leave， the author gives enough background that a new reader will not be too lost， but for long time readers it also doesn't bog the story too much with extra info dumps。Tracey comes straight back to work and has to immediately deal with the a**hole Nolasco's （her immediate misogynistic supervisor） attempt to get her to quit。 She This is the eighth book in the Tracey Crosswhite series， but it can easily be read as a stand alone。 Since Tracey is coming back to Seattle PD from an extended maternity leave， the author gives enough background that a new reader will not be too lost， but for long time readers it also doesn't bog the story too much with extra info dumps。Tracey comes straight back to work and has to immediately deal with the a**hole Nolasco's （her immediate misogynistic supervisor） attempt to get her to quit。 She is forced to deal with her fears now that she is a mother。 Is moving to cold cases going to be able to give her the feeling of closure that she needs？ It is an honest dilemma。 But， she is also then thrown into a new case with her old partner dealing with a missing woman， while at the same time thinking that it may tie in to two cold cases that she had been going through。This series usually falls under a heading as a police procedural story， with the reader following along with the case as Tracey （and in this case Kins）， both follow where the clues lead。 Tracey is an amazing detective and this is shown in this book as well。 She has fantastic instincts and the case is interesting to follow。 There is also a twist in the story that I wasn't expecting and as I always say， "I LOVE it when an author can surprise me"。 That will not change。Where I had a bit of a disconnect was at the very end， as it concerns the missing child case。 Without going into spoilers， let me just say that it didn't really sit well with me。 It is not up to me to judge - so I can only give my honest opinion， but the ending just seemed too "pat" and this was a VERY complicated situation。 It wasn't that I wouldn't have condoned it， I just felt that it was thrown out there so the book could tie up all the loose ends。 It also didn't fit with WHO Tracey is - as a person， a mother and a cop。 I realize that we are told there wasn't anything else that could be done - but it left a bad taste in my mouth。 Yes， I understand that life is not perfect and we cannot always have perfect endings， but this pushed the boundaries for me。 I would have swallowed it better， I think， if the father had been involved originally。 The way it went down was just hard for me to understand and to fathom。 But again， that's just me。Other than that， I fully enjoyed the book。 It was great to see Tracey back in the saddle again and to see things going well with Dan and Daniella。I am going to now wait （patiently） for book 9 :）Thank you to NetGalley for letting me see an ARC。 The views expressed here are completely my own。 。。。more

In this eighth outing in the Tracy Crosswhite series， Robert Dugoni nails it again。 In Her Tracks has an interesting story line， is nicely plotted and no lags in the pacing。 It held my interest from start to finish。After an extended leave from the Seattle Police Department， Tracy finds herself assigned to cold case files。 She digs in and a five-year old missing child case catches her attention。 While pursuing this case， she is roped into helping her former partner in Violent Crimes with a curren In this eighth outing in the Tracy Crosswhite series， Robert Dugoni nails it again。 In Her Tracks has an interesting story line， is nicely plotted and no lags in the pacing。 It held my interest from start to finish。After an extended leave from the Seattle Police Department， Tracy finds herself assigned to cold case files。 She digs in and a five-year old missing child case catches her attention。 While pursuing this case， she is roped into helping her former partner in Violent Crimes with a current missing person case。 A runner has gone missing in an area of Seattle that also has two missing prostitute cold cases。 This gives Tracy the excuse to work the active case while not reneging on her duties to cold cases。 The story then winds around all of these cases and the plot lines nicely dovetail into an intriguing story。I love this series and the author's standalone novel The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell。 All are well written with great characters and interesting plots。 I highly recommend this series and this writer。Thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for granting my wish for an Advance Reader's Copy of this book。 I loved it。 。。。more

Thank you Netgalley， Thomas & Mercer， and Robert Dugoni for allowing me to read an ARC of In Her Tracks。 It’s a Tracy Crosswhite book and I have the earlier books in the series but haven’t read them yet。 Well I will now because this book was great！ Tracy is such a good character， and the writing was as wonderful as I have come to expect from Mr。 Dugoni。 You should start this series if you haven’t already！
