I tried and tried, but this book just did not grip me and I had to DNF this book…
There just wasn’t anything that gripped me and I just simply didn’t want to pick it back up at all.. sadly, not a book for me.

Thank you for the ARC, NetGalley!

I enjoyed this story. I would suggest read previous books before this as this is not a standalone. It is a fast paced reading and would recommend for those who enjoy police procedural with a kickass female lead.

I really enjoy the Tracy Crosswhite series and was glad to see a new book in this series. Tracy is still working cold cases and when Anita Childress asks Tracy to look into her mother's disappearance, she agrees. Lisa Childress was an investigative reporter, who was investigating 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 when she vanished twenty-five years ago. Lisa's husband has always been suspected of her death, and Anita wants to clear her father as well as find out who really killed her mother.

Tracy understands cold cases and those left behind. She still lives with the disappearance of her sister when they were just children. This brings a dogged perseverance to solving these cases. This was a great story, with an interesting plot and showed that Tracy will do what is right, even if it means hurting people she knows and cares about. She puts herself in danger to do what is right. I like that Tracy is real with a husband with young daughter and that is also part of the story. Even though Tracy no longer works active cases, Vic Fazzio and Del Castigliano, who previous team are still part of the story. Did they know anything about this cold case, and the story Lisa was pursuing. This was another fast paced, gripping and entertaining Tracy Crosswhite story that I highly recommend.

Thank you Thomas & Mercer, Thomas & Mercer and Netgalley for this arc.

I am a fan of Tracy for some years now and I am always delighted how she manage to resolve cold cases and be better then her boss. There is always a stupid one and always a claver one.. I am always dreaming of her dreams come true and having her family. Losing her in that tragic way always make me sad. I felt her like a sister reading so much about. This time I was glad some autistic theme were included.

As much as I love reading Tracy Crosswhite novels, I am starting to feel like we might be stalling out on new ideas. This one had several elements from previous novels with just new characters, while this might not be a reason to stop reading these cozy thrillers, it has taken my usual 4 stars down to 3 stars. Would love if the next novels have more family time which Tracy clam is to want, yet seems to always pass on for her cases.

Thanks for the free NetGalley ARC. All views are my own.

Another good one in the Tracy Crosswhite series. Looking forward to the next one.

What She Found by Robert Dugoni is the ninth instalment in the Detective Tracy Crosswhite series but this mystery reads very well as a stand-alone. Having read several Dugoni books previously, I found that the usual well-written novel and diverse and interesting characters are as expected. This is a satisfying read and does not seem repetitive. Detective Crosswhite has been assigned to cold cases, mainly because of new scientific discoveries available now that were not developed when the crimes were committed. Her usual attention to detail and respect for the victims’ families lead her to a twenty-five year-old case: an investigative journalist disappeared and was never seen again. A supposed suicide occurred in the vicinity of the location where the journalist was last seen. This will disturb a hornet’s nest of huge proportions and will involve many important people who are adamant about not being investigated. This is a police procedural that takes the reader through the steps and procedures in a detailed accounting of a cold case. Robert Dugoni does not disappoint. Highly recommended. Thank you to Thomas & Mercer, NetGalley and the author for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fantastic addition to the series. I am not fully caught up on all Tracy Crosswhite journeys and I would recommend reading them in order, but I was able to read the book without feeling like I was missing something strategic. In this one, Det Tracy Crosswhite agrees to look into the cold case disappearance of investigative reporter Lisa Childress at her daughter Anita's request. After twenty=five years, Anita would like to uncover the truth, no matter where it leads but as Tracy uncovers the truth, it tests her loyalties and her tenacity.
Dugoni is an excellent storyteller, and Tracy's character evolves through the series as well. Tracy now has a family, which she never would have considered possible in earlier books. Tracy's relationship with her husband Dave, is mutually respectful and supportive. Her tenacity and determination to find the truth sometimes puts her in grave danger. I really enjoy this series and this story is a little more complex than some of the earlier books. I hope Dugoni will write more than the ten books originally planned for this series.
Thank you to the publisher, NetGalley and the author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Barely 3 stars.

I've read most of the Tracy Crosswhite series and this one is a bit of a disappointment. Don't get me wrong: it's okay and most people will enjoy it. But I've read too many stories like this so I know what to expect and what to look for. This felt sloppily done.

First, it took Tracy roughly HALF the book to realize something was off when I realized it back at the moment it happened. It's a pretty significant plot point and she's supposed to be brilliant. So either the author intentionally delayed making that connection - not sure why - or Tracy is getting slower as she ages.

Second, there's a pretty obvious connection to be made between one aspect of the case Tracy's working and the case Dan had been working at the opening of the book. It never came to fruition and it was a little annoying. The similarities made it seem like they'd be more important.

Third, I dislike how the author chose to handle Lisa Childress's autism. I don't think it was done well. Without going into massive spoilers, I think there's the possibility for some dangerous inferences in the autism throughline.

I might be finished with this series. I can't say I'd recommend this book, in particular, in any case.

I have read quite a number of police investigative books by now and almost all of them have in turns been thrilling, chilling, racy, atmospheric or a combination there of. However, very rarely have I come across a police investigative story which stays very close to the long, drawn-out, tedious and sometimes mundane process it actually tends to be in real life.

"What She Found" is the 9th book of the Tracy Crosswhite series by Robert Dugoni and it's quite popular. You only need to read the first few pages and can totally see why it is so. Let's just talk about the book first. Detective Tracy Crosswhite is currently working cold cases and has just come out of a highly publicized decades old case she had helped solve. This prompts journalist Anita Childress to get the detective to look into the 25 year old disappearance of her mother, investigative journalist Lisa Childress. Though Tracy doubts the chances of finding her alive, she still works in earnest to solve the case so as to give Anita the closure she deserves.

This begins Tracy's journey of tracing Lia's footsteps and trying to find out what might have happened to her. There are many roadblocks on her road to find the answers and some of them lead her to people she cares about. Does she manage to find Lisa? And is she able to make things right and get justice for the victims? We find out the answer to these questions in a story of quite interesting twists and gray characters. And I must say some of these twists are genuinely jaw-dropping.

The protagonist Tracy Crosswhite is very likable and relatable; she is a person of complex nature but also of a strong moral compass. All the other characters in the book all will-defined and close-to-life people. The dynamics and relationships between Tracy and these characters manage to pull us into their lives and make them real to us. These human aspects against the backdrop of the stark investigation pulse life into the story.

Also, author Dugoni makes an effort to make the investigations as close to a real police investigation as possible. There are delays and frustrations while the police await test results. The people the police interact with aren't always honest, cooperative and forthcoming. The answers don't come in bright and blinding moments of truths. It takes dogged effort and determination from the whole team of officers who work the case. The effort Dugoni has put in and the research he must have done, to get the details right, is clearly evident throughout the book and his story telling style. All these things combine to make a great recipe for a well-written police-procedural thriller which is thrilling and extremely engaging. In fact I can't wait to get my hands on the next one in the series.

I can't recommend this book enough to police-procedural lovers. Do not miss it!

This book was amazing! I loved the mystery and the storyline was well done! I would highly recommend this book to everyone!

I have loved this series since the very first Tracy Crosswhite story.

He brought the story line from his previous short story The Last Line into the present as Tracy works on a cold case. I love how he can easily tie several threads together to bring the story to a satisfying end.

If you are new to this author and Tracy Crosswhite, start with the first book My Sister's Grave.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Thomas and Mercer for the opportunity to read and review this story. I apologize that I am woefully behind on my reviews.

This is an engaging novel. It is the ninth one featuring Tracy Crosswhite, a Seattle police detective now working on cold cases. How have I missed this series? I am frequently skeptical when a male author writes a female lead but Dugoni has done a great job developing a tenacious heroine. She is willing to pursue a case and find the truth even when it means her own career might be in jeopardy. There is a good balance of investigative work and Tracy's personal life. There are also good hints to Tracy's background for those of us reading this one but having missed the previous ones.

This novel deals with police issues from decades ago. We read of the lure of money and the temptation to use police activity to gain it. We see how Tracy gets frustrated in her work by the political influence on police work. We see the reward of Tracy solving a cold case, of putting the welfare of a citizen above her own.

Dugoni's writing style is a pleasure to read. The plot kept me engaged and I loved the setting as one does not read of Seattle often.

I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.

No wonder Robert Dugoni is a world-wide bestselling author. He sure knows how to keep his reader totally enthralled and invested in the story. This book is peopled with wonderful characters who really come to life and are totally believable. The story, of a cold case investigation by Detective Tracy Crosswhite, is totally unpredictable, horrific in places, charming and heartwarming in others, but always gripping. The writing style is bold, very readable, short and sweet, and guaranteed to keep you reading.

The next installment in the Tracy Crosswhite is another great read that fans of the series will love.

Now that she oversees the cold case division, Tracy Crosswhite just solved a major case and is looking to solve another. She is asked to investigate the disappearance of investigative reporter Lisa Childress who went missing almost 25 years ago. Lisa’s daughter, Anita, has asked Tracy to help find the truth no matter where it leads. As soon as Tracy starts digging into the past with this case, she finds evidence that proves there is much more to the case than anyone could have imagined. It doesn’t take long to figure out that Tracy is going to be pushed to her limit and her loyalties.

The Tracy Crosswhite series has been one of my favorites since the very first book. This newest edition was a fun look at Tracy in her new role overseeing the cold cases which brings her all the way back to the disappearance of her sister. Each of the characters in this series are great to see grow and develop. Traci is one of my all-time favorite female leads to read about. This book had a good premise, good characters, and an overall good flow, until the end, which felt a little rushed. It was the ending that should have played out but for this kind of novel it left me feeling a little underwhelmed. Dugoni is a fantastic writer but this addition to the series fell a little flat. I still give it at least 4 stars but it is hard for anything to stack up to My Sister’s Grave. I will for sure be reading the next in the series and recommend this to fans of the series and those that enjoy suspense thrillers.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishing house and the author for the opportunity to read a complimentary copy of this book in return for a review based upon my honest opinion.

I’ve had a few of the books in the Tracy Crosswhite series and I have enjoyed them. This wasn’t as thrilling a read as the other books I’ve read in the series but it was an enjoyable book. A very interesting concept a missing journalist, who may or may not have been murdered or who may have just left her husband and small child 24 years ago. As Tracy looks into the case she finds that there were a couple of stories the journalist was working on that were very high profile and would have definitely caused distress among some people causing them to perhaps strike back. As Tracy delves further into the case she discovers that it may actually impact the police force and some of the officers that she knows.
Great ending to a pretty good book.

I find this series getting stronger. Tracy has her family and her career. It’s different. But good. Here she investigates a cold case of a missing woman encourage by he woman’s daughter. The missing woman was an investigative reporter and it draws Tracy into following up on her investigations. I also like Dugoni doesn’t tie everything up. People get away with some things.
Good addition to the series
I was given a copy by Netgalley. Opinions are my own.

Another fantastic addition to the Tracy Crosswhite series that I have long anticipated! Tracy is still working Cold Cases when Anita, the daughter of a reporter, Lisa Childress, who has been missing 25 years, requests Tracy investigate her mother's case. Anita presents the case to Tracy, which sheds Anita's father in a poor light and sheds light on Anita's obsession. Tracy who was obsessed with her sister's cold case for years decided to look into Lisa's case. What she uncovers will cost Tracy more than she realized.

I cannot wait to read the next installment!

Thank you #NetGalley , #RobertDugoni , and #ThomasandMercer for this eARC in exchange for my honest review!

What She Found is the 9th book in the Tracy Crosswhite series. This can be read as a stand-alone.

Detective Tracy Crosswhite has been relegated to the Cold Case files and is now working solo instead of working together on a team. Tracy has been contacted by Anita Childress and has agreed to look into the disappearance of Anita's mother, investigative reporter Lisa Childress. After 25 years, Lisa's body still has not been found. Anita just wants to find out the truth on what happened to her mother. Even if it means finding out her mother intentionally left her husband and 2 yr old daughter or exposing her father as the murderer.

Since Lisa was an investigative reporter, Tracy needs to look into the stories that Lisa was working on during her disappearance: 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.

Great writing with a complex plot. I love Tracy's character. You don't see a lot of strong, female detectives with a stable home life. Faz and Del are back but I miss Kins.

I highly recommend this book and series.

Thank you NetGalley, Thomas & Mercer and Robert Dugoni for an ARC of "What She Found" in exchange of an honest review.

Robert Dugoni always satisfies all my reading needs with his Tracy Crosswhite novels. Excitement, page-turner, likable characters, guessing until the very end! Robert Dugoni is one of my favorite authors!
She is back working in cold cases. These novels are always exciting and feel so true to life.
Tracy has always been one of my favorite characters and I’m so happy that Robert Dugoni is still writing novels with her as the protagonist.
She was the reason I fell in love with his writing to begin with, and I’ve never let go,

If you haven’t read any of his novels, I say you must! He is a keeper for the TBR list!
