A big thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Mercer Publishing for providing me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have enjoyed all the Tracy Crosswhite books and this one was a great new chapter in the series. The books are set in my home native PNW and the Robert Dugoni lives one town over from me so it always feels like I am reading a story set in my backyard.

Except I dont want any of the people in this story in my backyard! Well at least not the suspects.

Tracy is in a time of transition in her life. Everything with her sister is settled, she has a husband and a new daughter, shes recovered from the traumatic last case she worked....and now her a-hole boss is sabotaging her return to the SPD, trying to make her quit by assigning her to take over the cold case unit from a retiring detective.

True to form, Tracy rises to the occasion and is soon embroiled in multiple cases that intertwine past and present. I loved that she is seeing a therapist to help her during this time as well...after all shes been through she needs it!

The cases themselves were pretty good. Dugoni leads you to believe you know who did it...but there are some good surprises in store before the end. For me these books are much more character driven than plot - I love seeing how Tracys life plays out and just enjoying the cases she solves along the way.

This was excellent! I love these Tracy Crosswhite books, and this was one of the best yet! I was somewhat disappointed when she couldn't get her old job back (not to give any spoilers), but Dugoni very much redeemed himself and the stories were great! Highly recommend this series and looking forward to the next one!

In Her Tracks is another solid entry in the Tracy Crosswhite series. The book begins with Tracy coming back from a leave of absence to find that her spot on the Seattle PD homicide team isn't available. She reluctantly takes a spot on the cold case unit and soon find herself immersed in a strange case involving a missing girl and her warring parents. Along the way she helps her former partner Kinsington Rowe with a case of a missing woman who disappeared while running. The two cases begin to twist and turn, pulling Tracy down into the dark world of betrayal and revenge. I have read all the books in this series and always look forward to the next one.

I absolutely love this author. This series is definitely one that I have particularly enjoyed. Tracey Crosswhite is truly a memorable character. I love her spunk and quick wit. Her dedication to her job is admirable. I like detective books and this does not disappoint

This is the 8th book in the Tracy Crosswhite series and each book just gets better. This book takes up when she returns to work from having her new baby and starts working cold cases. I hope this series continues for a long time

I am a big fan of Robert Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite series, so I was eager to read the latest installment and Mr. Dugoni does not disappoint. Tracy returns to work at the Seattle police department after extended leave only find her spot on the violent crimes "A team" taken. After hesitantly accepting assignment as the cold case unit's only detective, Tracy delves into the disappearance of a 5 year old girl while visiting a corn maze with her father 5 years ago. The parents, in the middle of a nasty divorce, each blames the other. Despite no new information, Tracy decides to take another look at the case. As she begins her investigation, Tracy's former partner asks for her help on an active case, the disappearance of a young woman while jogging that Tracy speculates could be connected to another of her cases, two missing prostitutes. The story weaves between the cold case and the active investigation, as well as Tracy's home life as she balances being a new motherhood with her return to work and her unexpected emotional response to working cold cases. Well written, fast-paced, good plot development, great characters. Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this book prior to publication.

Two stories in one! I love the Tracy Crosswhite series and this entry was no exception. Tracy has gotten moved to the Cold Case team and is trying to solve not one but three cases. “In Her Tracks” is a little darker that past Crosswhite stories but still very satisfying. Most of the book is devoted to one of the cases and I wish Dugoni had give equal time to the other one.

Dugoni has written a page turner and one that I’d recommend to any fan of the Tracy Crosswhite series! Finished it in one day!

The book starts with the disappearance of a five year old girl five years earlier in the prologue. In the present day Tracy returns from her leave to deal with a dilemma of getting relegated to cold cases unit or to quit. Once that is resolved, she takes up the girl's case while also helping her previous partner in a current missing persons case. The investigation into both cases occur concurrently and the author clearly delineates the two. This is more of an individual work by Tracy and not much input from her team, rather there's not much of a team. There are some good paragraphs on parenting and the importance of the domestic atmosphere in a child's upbringing which are valuable. As for the story and suspense, the author doesn't disappoint. A must read.

In Her Tracks by Robert Dugoni is the latest in the Tracy Crosswhite series. I enjoy this series very much and In Her Tracks has two mysteries or cases in book eight.
The first scene is set during Halloween five years in the past when little Elle Chin goes missing while with her father in a corn maze. The mother and father have been embroiled in a bitter divorce and Elle is the person suffering emotionally the most. The mother and father blame each other for Elle's disappearance.
Tracy returns to work after the birth of her daughter and some time for emotional health with her A-Team detectives and discovers her position has been filled with a detective from another team. She is forced to take the vacancy in the Cold Case office. Although she is furious, Tracy decides to give it a chance because of her experience in searching for her missing sister. She begins to work on the case of Elle Chin when she is asked to help with a new missing person case. As Tracy helps her former partner with the search for missing nineteen-year-old Stephanie Cole, she discovers two of the missing case files on her desk may be related to the area where Stephanie was last seen.
I won't post spoilers, but the overlapping cases prove to reveal hidden cases of abuse and murder which has been happening for two generations. Also, Tracy solves the case of the missing Elle Chin with surprising results!

IN HER TRACKS.......Robert Dugoni

Rowe asks Tracy for help in his missing case a nineteen year old girl out jogging. It deals with child abuse, abduction. The author has woven the cases together of difficult cases, and what and who are behind them. Given ARC my voluntary review and my honest opinion from Net Galley and Thomas & Mercer.

Thanks to Net Galley for sending me a free copy of this book to read and review.
Robert Dugoni’s newest book, “ In Her Tracks” is a fine police procedural featuring Tracy Crosswhite, a police officer on Seattle’s Violent Crimes Section.
The book begins with Tracy returning to work after convalescing from the injuries and emotional stress she suffered In a case described in the previous book in the series. (Note that it is not necessary to have read that book to fully appreciate this one. ) Upon returning to the office, she finds her position on the the VIolent Crime Section is currently not available. Instead, her Captain, with whom Tracy has an adversarial relationship, offers her the Old Case Files office. Reluctantly, she takes the job and immediately finds herself immersed in the years old case case of a missing six year old, while at the same time keeping herself abreast of a Months- old case of missing prostitutes .
As with any police procedural novel, , Mr. Dugoni leads the reader through the painstaking steps taken to solve a case. Detailed, but not ever dull or boring , the investigation opens old wounds for Tracy, whose own sister went missing, and was found dead. Tracy cares about every victim and every case consumes her attention. She is an interesting , fully drawn character.
As the story progresses with the investigation moves to its expected conclusion , Dugoni throws a wicked curve ball that will assuredly stop every reader cold , as it did me. It is a twist that changes everything you thought had figured out., butIt is a logical logical and well set up surprise. It leads to an exciting climatic finish.
Summary : another good book by Mr. Dugoni that is easy to recommend to al fans of crime thrillers, and one which easily deserves my five-star rating.
Cautions: Adult themes, but nothing gross .

Dugoni did not disappoint with this las=test installment of the Tracy Crosswhite series. When Crosswhite is assigned to cold cases, she once again demonstrates her superb investigative skills in tracking down a young female runner and two missing prostitutes. Well written and with plenty of insight into Crosswhite's evolution in motherhood, this was a very satisfying read.

In “In Her Tracks” by Robert Dugoni we are brought back into the world of Seattle detective Tracy Crosswhite. After an extended leave Tracy is told her old job was not available and she would now be taking over the cold case unit. As she begins to delve into the case of a missing 5-year-old, she is brought into an active case of a missing jogger, that more than mirrors two of her cold cases. As she follows the clues both old and new her past starts to come front and center and danger appears around every corner.

Another great Tracy Crosswhite story with all the old characters coming in to lend a hand. We see the love Dan has for Tracy as well as the respect Kins and Faz have for her.

I received an ARC of this book through Net Galley and this is my honest review.

This is the 8th book in the Tracy Crosswhite series by Robert Dugoni. I loved this book it is filled with lots of twists and turns that I didn’t expect. It’s one of those books that is hard to put down and you just want to keep reading till you finish it. Can’t wait for the next book in this series. Thanks Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer Publishing for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

I am a huge fan of the Tracy Crosswhite series by Robert Dugoni. As In Her Tracks makes clear, Detective Tracy Crosswhite worked hard for every promotion and award. No one smoothed her way but she's proven herself many times over and won the respect of her colleagues. She's not free from the intrigue and politics that permeates the workplace. Certainly, her police chief takes great pleasure in making her life difficult. This latest time is particularly bad. Tracy returns from a leave of absence to find another woman has been given her slot in Serious Crimes and been assigned to her partner. Tracy can take a lateral move to Cold Cases where she would work alone and be subject to greater emotional distress or she can retire. And she's given the day to decide.
Cold Cases had been managed by one officer and he cared deeply about the victims. He appeals to Tracy's empathy with the victims and their families. Though Tracy expects that Cold Cases will be difficult emotionally, she takes it on.
Soon, her old partner asks for her help with an active case -- a young woman has been abducted and might still be alive. Tracy investigates but under the cover of her cold cases. As she zeroes in on a suspicious family, she searches for dark secrets and another young woman who went missing.
Dugoni delivers another suspenseful and satisfying mystery in In Her Tracks. We are drawn into Tracy's struggle but even the antagonists are human. In Her Tracks gives us a well developed, character driven mystery. I read straight through the night and am looking forward to finding out what is next in Tracy Crosswhite's life.

This book was a fast read for me. The story didn’t lag, kept my interest, had a couple good twists at the end. I’d recommend it to anyone that likes police/crime genre. Robert Dugoni is fast becoming one of my go to authors for that type of novel.

In Her Tracks, by Robert Dugoni, is book eight of the Tracy Crosswhite series. Tracy, coming off maternity leave, is assigned to work on cold cases. One of her cold cases has a lot in common with a current case of a missing girl, so Tracy is reunited with her old partner. This is yet another solid book in the series; however, I found some of the language and story to be slightly problematic and triggering. Thanks to NetGalley for the free digital review copy. All opinions are my own.

I always love the Crosswhite series and this was another winner! This was an amazing story that was well written from the start to finish. I’m glad that I got to read this and I loved the new cold case aspect, I can’t wait to see how it plays out in future stories. I was able to relate a lot to Tracy as I’m a new mom myself so it was refreshing to read about real struggles, parenting and new responsibilities.

In Her Tracks by Robert Dugoni is such a good book. It's a riveting, mind-blowing, page-turning, heart-breaking, and heart-warming mystery from page 1. I couldn't read the book fast enough. I'm a huge fan of the Tracy Crosswhite books and all of Dugoni's books, for that matter. Each book is done so well.

Dugoni is masterful in creating characters and a story that has a reader laughing, crying, and racing to find out what will happen next.

The plots are done expertly and always have a jaw-dropping surprise. The only bad thing about the book is that I get sad when I come to the end of the story because I just want to keep reading about the characters and their adventures.

Please keep these books coming! One of my favorite writers and storytellers.

#InHerTracks #NetGalley

First of all, thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for an opportunity to read and give feedback for "In her Tracks". This is book 8, I have read all eight. Tracy Crosswhite is a smart, strong detective. This particular book gives you two mysteries for Tracy to solve, throw in some turmoil in the department and off we went. Missing young woman and a cold case of a missing 5 year old child and two prostitutes. Robert Dugoni outdid himself with this one. I know it's a good book if I am thinking about it while doing other things. It's always icing on the cake for me if an author can throw me a curve ball. Love that! I would recommend this book (along with the other seven) to anyone who enjoys a good mystery.
