Publisher's summary

An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller.

"Tracy Crosswhite is one of the best protagonists in the realm of crime fiction today, and there is nothing cold about A Cold Trail." (Associated Press)

In New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni's riveting series, Seattle homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite returns home to a brutal murder and her haunted past.

The last time homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite was in Cedar Grove, it was to see her sister's killer put behind bars. Now she's returned for a respite and the chance to put her life back in order for herself, her attorney husband, Dan, and their new daughter. But tragic memories soon prove impossible to escape.

Dan is drawn into representing a local merchant whose business is jeopardized by the town's revitalization. And Tracy is urged by the local PD to put her own skills to work on a new case: the brutal murder of a police officer's wife and local reporter who was investigating a cold-case slaying of a young woman. As Tracy's and Dan's cases crisscross, Tracy's trail becomes dangerous. It's stirring up her own haunted past and a decades-old conspiracy in Cedar Grove that has erupted in murder. Getting to the truth is all that matters. But what’s Tracy willing to risk as a killer gets closer to her and threatens everyone she loves?

im hooked

really liked the link of job versus friend. The hope of a pregnancy ready was Daniella

never disappointed with this series

loved it! very cool to always pick up where we left off! love tracy having the very real mom conflict of whether or not to return to work after a kid. the twist in this wasn't even predictable so that was also a win!

Dugoni ALWAYS delivers

I have read every book by this author and have loved everything he has written, as I reader I feel blessed he chose to follow his dreams of writing!!

The Tracy Crosswhite series is amazing and I’m always guessing. He develops the characters well helping you to understand their backgrounds and motivations!! Love love love

Only flaw....I read them so fast I have to wait for the next!

A “must read” series and another great mystery

I just love this series! Wow! Such well-crafted mysteries. There are two cases in this book. One is an old cold case which Tracy is talked into investigating, while the other is a recent court case of Dan’s. Both involve members of the Cedar Grove community. I don’t want to give any spoilers but I will say both storylines really grabbed me. I figured out some things but not everything, but even if you do figure out what’s going on, the story is still so well written and robust and the characters so real, that it’s still a joy to read and watch it all unfold. As always, the audiobook version is very nicely narrated. This series is a find. Don’t read them out of order unless you want the first book ruined by spoilers (there are a ton in this book). Highly, highly recommend the whole series.

An excellent read

A well-written, multi-layered crime drama! The narrator gave an amazing performance, utilizing many accents! I highly recommend this book!

Good as ever

I only listen to audible in the car. I found myself looking for reasons to drive. Hooked, as always, from start to finish. I loved all the previous books in this series and this one didn't disappoint, either.

Awesome! series

Loved it The characters are great. The narrator is wonderful. The stories will keep you guessing, who done it?

Great Tracy Crosswhite sequel

Great book with lots of twists and turns! Perfect follow up to previous books! Enjoyable listen!!

Tracy and Dan are never far from danger

Liked the story. Emily Sutton-Smith always does a great job reading the different characters. I could see who was the villain was from earlier than normal in Dugoni's books. But still a good story if your invested in the Tracy Crosswhite series.

Great, and I hope We Get More Soon

I enjoyed this story a lot. I liked how Tracy and family were back in Cedar Grove and back for another small town sinister plot. The intersection between Tracy and Dan’s case was well done. The Irish nanny had some humorous lines, and the best line was about how “Sonny could talk to a dead body for an hour before she’d notice the person wasn’t breathing, and likely finish her story even after she had.” The only reason I docked a star is because I felt that at times there was too much narration and quickie writing rather than showing me the story. Otherwise, it was a definite must read, and I really am sad I have no more Tracy for now to binge listen to... I really have grown fond of this cast of characters, their back story and will miss them. Please hurry the next installment.
