What She Found

Written by Robert Dugoni

Narrated by Emily Sutton-Smith

An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling series.

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.

Robert Dugoni is fast becoming one of my favorite authors! I loved The World Played Chess and The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell. Then I found out that he has written three series of books! The Tracy Crosswhite series, The Charles Jenkins series and The David Sloane series! I have started reading the Tracy Crosswhite series and love it!!! This is his newest book in the series and I could hardly put it down!!! Again, I am reading out of order but it certainly didn't affect this book! Tracy Crosswhite is now married with a baby girl. A three times decorated detective, she is now working in the Cold Case division. She's asked to look into the disappearance of investigative reporter Lisa Childress by her daughter, Anita. After twenty-five years, she just wants the truth no matter where it leads. Excellent read!!! Going now to put some holds on more of these books!

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 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. Dugoni’s books are well written, with intriguing plots and good character development. I can’t wait for #10.

Review of eBookSeattle Police Department Detective Tracy Crosswhite, still working cold cases, looks into the case of investigative reporter Lisa Childress. Missing for some twenty-five years, Lisa’s daughter, Anita, who was two when her mother disappeared, wants the truth about her mother’s disappearance. Could the stories Lisa was following have something to do with her disappearance? Could it be a mayoral exposé? Or a sex scandal involving a city councilman? Perhaps the drug task force scandal? Or maybe she fell victim to the elusive serial killer they’d never found?Although there are some who do not want Tracy to reopen this cold case, she understands about Anita’s need for closure. But, as with all cold cases, the investigation is often difficult. But Tracy is determined to find the truth.What will Tracy uncover?=========Ninth in the author’s Tracy Crosswhite series, this story takes several surprising twists and turns as the intriguing plot unfolds. Well-developed characters and a strong sense of place anchor the narrative while the mystery of Lisa Childress keeps the pages turning.This police procedural brings many of the expected characters into the telling of the tale; readers who have followed the series will appreciate seeing how the characters grow and evolve. The revelation of long-held secrets leads to surprises for the readers, including one that changes the course of both the story and Tracy’s investigation. Fans of the series will find much to appreciate here as will readers who enjoy police procedurals.Highly recommended.I received a free copy of this book through the Goodreads First Reads program

What a frustration. The law protects even those who betray it. Looking from a home run and often disappointed in the result but never disappointed with Dugoni’s skill in crafting another installment in the Tracy Crosswhite series. He is a Master of this genre and I am always excited to see another of his books being released.
