Together with Tessa Black, a childhood friend turned local deputy, Cate confronts dreary weather and bleak leads to make sense of the death.

Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

For high-powered personal injury attorney Noah Byron, the good things in life come with a price tag - cars, houses, women. That's why he represents only cases that come with the possibility of a nice cut of the action. But as a favor to his ex-wife, he meets with the mother of twelve-year-old Joel, a boy poisoned by tainted children's medicine. While the official story is that a psycho tampered with bottles, the boy's mother believes something much more sinister is at work...and the trail leads right back to the pharmaceutical company.

Nice Short Prequel to a Blockbuster Series
I am presuming you have read at least the first two Crosswhite novels. If nothing else, this reveals the beginning of the rivalry between Crosswhite and her commanding officer. I have finished the first three novels of this series and rated each of them with 5 stars. I just finished Her Final Breath for the second time.
Should you buy this short story? It is good, but certainly not neccessary. I bought it because I love the series.

As a female cop I found the book offensive.
What would have made The Academy better?
A training scenario that was more likely to happen and a reasonable response by the academy administration.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Not a cop book.
Which character – as performed by Emily Sutton-Smith – was your favorite?
Tracy Crosswhite
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I like the main character and the descriptions and behavior of the cadets.
Any additional comments?
I have read another book in the Tracy Crosswhite series and enjoyed it very much. I intend to read additional books in the series. This short story, however, suggests a highly unlikely training scenario. Surely no professional law enforcement officer or trainer was consulted before this book was published. I actually went back to check the date that this book was published. 2014! Not only is it unlikely that the behavior would take place, but there is no freaking way that the behavior of the trainer as described in the book would go unpunished. I spent 30 years in law enforcement and was one of the first females hired by my agency. I have been a certified law enforcement trainer for over 20 years. I am not usually critical of cop stories with flaws in police procedure but I do admire accuracy and when an author has obviously researched a topic. While I like the way that the cadets were portrayed in the book and the way that the female cadets handled the training scenario that I find so offensive, if this had been my introduction to the author's work I would never read another of his books.

Great prequel to the Tracy Crosswhite series
Robert Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite detective series started with My Sister's Grave followed by Her Final Breath. Both novels earn my solid 5 star ratings. The third book is this wonderful series In the Clearing, will be released on May 17, 2016.
Tracy Crosswhite is a detective with the Seattle police department. This prequel goes back to when she decided to give up teaching high school to apply to the police academy. It is a must listen for fans of Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite series.
Emily Sutton-Smith narrates this prequel as well as the novels in the series. She is superb.

Short But Good
What would motivate a high school chemistry teacher to become a homicide detective?
The Academy, an exciting prequel to Robert Dugoni's book, My Sister's Grave, answers that question. My Sister's Grave is a series featuring Tracy Crosswhite. All the books in the series are great. The Academy, Tracy must overcome the obstacles placed in her path to become a police officer.
Robert Dugoni has created a strong and intelligent female protagonist I hope to see more of in the future.
Emily Sutton-Smith was outstanding with the delivery of the story.

Very nice prequel
Robert Dugoni did a nice job on this prequel to My Sister's Grave. It provided background on the main character, Tracy Crosswhite. She is a very strong woman and I'm looking forward to starting book 1. Emily Sutton-Smith did a wonderful job bringing all the characters to life, especially Tracy. If you're into the mystery/thriller genre I highly recommend this book.

Bite sized goodness
Just long enough to enjoy, and Nolasco getting his comeuppance was a welcome read/listen. It's a shame it happened at a time when sexual harassment/assault was part of a woman's daily life, and Jen would have a long wait for justice without Tracey 😎

You have to read this before reading my sister's grave
Any additional comments?
I know this is only a short story but it's a must read before reading the next in the series. I started to read my sister's grave but didn't understand are follow the story so I looked to see if there was another book before my sister's grave and found this, I did not want to buy it because it was so short but I was so glad I did, it explains a lot for the next book, plus it's an excellent story I may be tempted to get some more short stories

Don't mess with women you don't know
Brilliantly funny 1.2 hours of sheer entertainment and enjoyment. Giving the history of Tracy's enrolment in the police it gives lots of foresight in this series and if possible should be read first before My Sisters Grave. Along with the other books of Roberts I've read this is well deserving of its 5* rating
