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.

Tracy is back and better than ever!

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.

Robert Dugoni is a must buy, must read author. This stand-alone is easy to follow and difficult to put down. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama. Both cases are solved.

Intriguing storyline with descriptive, emotional writing that draws the reader into each scene. Surprise twists at the Nd. Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. The toxic leadership is something most can empathize with. Believable characters with distinct personalities and great banter. Thought-provoking and memorable dialogue.

I will re-read this story and always look forward to, pre-order when possible, new works by this author.

Another solid Detective Tracy Crosswhite novel

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2021

Tracy Crosswhite is a heckuva detective and Robert Dugoni is a heckuva writer. That's why I can't figure out why I didn't love the heck out of this book, like I have the previous volumes in the series. The prose is as solid and true-to-life as ever and the intertwining plots are exceptionally well-done. There are plenty of surprises. In this novel, Detective Crosswhite solves three different cases, two of which had been left unsolved by previous detectives (technically, one case is actually two unrelated victims with similar circumstances).

Upon reflection, I think I see two issues I had during my initial reading. First, there is a lot of dialog and reflection about Tracy's recent transition to being a working mother. While this is indeed an important perspective and does affect how she is dealing with her co-workers and cases, it seemed to really bog down the early chapters of the book. The second factor is that more pages than usual seem to be spent with apparent antagonists, rather than tracking them down. I didn't like spending that much time with these creeps. Scanning through the book again, I don't think these are actually major flaws and probably had more to do with my reactions than the writing itself.

This book is definitely aimed at readers that are already following the adventures of Tracy Crosswhite. That doesn't mean a new reader will be lost. Mr. Dugoni is too talented a writer to let that happen. But I would recommend reading an earlier book in the series before picking up this one. You won't be disappointed either way.

Disclosure: Thank you to Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for providing a free copy of this book in return for my honest review.

When Tracy returns to work after her administrative leave Captain Nolasco moves her to cold cases. While investigating the disappearance of 2 women her former partner asks for her help in finding a young woman who disappeared recently.
The ending is perfect.

Ok. Another wonderful Tracy Crosswhite installment, read straight thru in one day. Several stories intertwined, detailed enough to paint a picture, and impossible to put down. It's good that the book was released while I was on vacation, because I'd have had trouble staying awake at work if I wasn't.

Great characters, consistent across the whole series. The descriptions of Seattle, Clearly Elum & Yakima remind me of the place I lived for 20+ years. And the story is compelling, believable, and unnerving. There are also a few unexpected twists that make sense in the end.

I'm ready for the next book in the series. Write faster, RD, (But I know such carefully, completely crafted works take time, so I'll keep checking...)

My favorite book of the Cross white series

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

I love Robert Dugoni's mysteries. Tracy Cross white is a fully realized character who has survived her painful past and used her experiences to grow and thrive as well as survive. Her grief is real and it fuels her need to rescue others when she wasn't able to save her sister.
This particular story is suspenseful, frightening and ended in a way that is positive without being contrived. It was the perfect read for this stressful, frightening period of existence we have endured during g the pandemic.

A good, rather than outstanding, read

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

There is good story-telling here, in that the novel flows well. There is a nice twist too, just as I thought things may be getting a little mundane. There are two story threads but, strangely, one goes into hibernation before re-appearing in the epilogue. I still haven't worked out what I think of our protagonist, who displays quite a bit of selfishness at times. I did wonder about a couple of the details too (e.g. do you really mow lawns during the snow season? Also, one character refers to evidence before she is even made aware of it). Overall, it was easy to turn the pages and stay interested, but I wouldn't call the effort mind-blowing. 7/10

Great Read

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.

Another gripping read from Mr Dugoni...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 21, 2021

...but I read this with mixed feelings. It rang so many bells from a time during the early 1990s when, in the city where I have lived for the past 50 years, a health worker took more than a perfunctory interest in the disappearance of a schoolgirl. The girl’s parents were Fred and Rosemary West.
Having said that, I really enjoy Robert Dugoni’s books, and having read them all I have been looking forward to this one, and I wasn’t disappointed. Despite the foregoing, I couldn’t put it down until I’d finished it!
I do enjoy the realism of the characters; I’ve followed Tracy Crosswhite’s career from her Acadamy days and her first run-in with Nolasco and although her life experience has been far removed from my own, it has the ring of realism about it. Robert Dugoni’s books illustrate that it is possible to have realism without foul language and ‘without’ the bedroom door!
Anyone who enjoys police procedurals, with realistic characters, relationships and situations will enjoy this book.

Loved this story

This book begins differently to the others. Why? Because the author lets you know who the guilty persons are at the beginning of the book, but there was still a twist towards the end which I didn't expect. After coming from maternity leave, Tracy gets told that the only job she can have is 'cold cases'. My goodness, her boss still holds a grudge against Tracy. I really loved it when he's made to suck eggs (so to speak).
Looking forward to Book 9. Another 5 stars from this happy reader.

A return to form

I have read every Tracy Crosswhite book so far and was a bit disappointed with the last one. Had the spark left the series? No, the spark is still very much alive and burning well. On the surface, these books seem to be a traditional crime thriller but behind the scenes is a steel trap of a mind waiting to capture the reader and take them down a new path. This is probably the best one (or one of the best) of the series so far. Highly recommended and eagerly waiting for the next novel.

Audio Version - A much awaited for addition to the Tracey Crosswhite detective series. This is book 8 of 8. Having listened to all the others a while ago I could not wait to start this one. Once again you are taken in right from the very start and although there has been a gap since book 7, all my memories came flooding back. It felt like this was going to be the last book in the series but I live in hope of more. A truly great writer who I definitely recommend.
