This is the fourth in the excellent Tracy Crosswhite series set in Seattle. This is a wonderful addition to a series that just goes from strength to strength. The teenage Kurt Schill is engaging in illegal crab fishing in the cold waters of the Puget Sound. He is shocked to discover the dead body of a woman which the crabs have fed on in one of his crab pots. This brings in Tracy and her team on this opaque and difficult case. It is hard to identify the woman given the state of the body, and it

First and foremost, a large thank you to NetGalley, Robert Dugoni, and Thomas & Mercer for providing me with a copy of this book, which allows me to provide you with this review.In another impressive addition to his latest series, Dugoni places Detective Tracy Crosswhite in her most confounding case to date. After a body is found in a crab pot at the bottom of Puget Sound, Crosswhite and her homicide team are called in. The victim is identified as Lynn Hoff, though there is little backstory or d...

5 Stars for The Trapped Girl the 4th installment of Robert Dugong's amazing Tracy Crosswhite series! This is my favorite book of the series to date. The mystery was interesting: A young boy goes out to do some illegal crab fishing and snags a bit of a surprise - a body! From there the story takes on quite a few different twists & turns. Just when I thought I had it figured out - something else would happen! I was glued to the book and couldn't read fast enough. This was one of those books where...

I need to ponder a bit before rating and reviewing. [Later...OK, I'm done.]This book is the latest in Robert Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite series, and a wonderful addition it is. I had not heard the term "crab pot" and a google image search showed some of them are huge. That was the only search I did, because Dugoni's descriptions of Mt. Rainier, Puget Sound, and other environs put me right in the scene.Tracy and her crew are working a case involving a body in a crab pot pulled up by an unsuspecting...

The Trapped Girl by Robert Dugoni is as much a “who is it” as it is a whodunit. Seattle detective Tracy Crosswhite is called to the scene when a teenager poaching crabs in Puget Sound comes up with an unexpected catch: a body stuffed in a crab pot. Who is the victim? Autopsy results and initial investigation queries reveal that the victim may have been on the run.But what starts out looking like a straightforward case of marital discord gone extremely wrong proves to have more puzzles and twists...

This is my third Robert Dugoni and I enjoyed this more than the other two. The others were decent, but not memorable. This one’s writing is a little zippier. I loved how he describes one gal as swearing like a sailor with Tourette's. And the writing and dialog continues to be sharper than before, more of a Nelson DeMille dark humor tone to it. The premise is a dead body turning up in a crab pot in Puget Sound. The dead woman is a “ghost”, a person deliberately living off the radar. The story alt...

A fine addition to the Tracy Crosswhite series. Robert Dugoni hasn't let me down yet. I finished the book about an hour ago and it's still on my brain, working out all the twists and turns it took. Just when I thought I had it figured out as I read, it went in a completely new direction. Bravo! I look forward to our next journey with Tracy Crosswhite. A teenager doing some illegal crab fishing has come across something very disturbing: a body caught in a crab pot. Not exactly what he expected wh...

I received a copy of The Trapped Girl through NetGalley. My thanks to Thomas & Mercer and to Robert Dugoni for the opportunity.What fuels the intensity of the flames of undying greed?Greed.....that gnawing, self-propelled instinct in some people with the "I wanna, no matter what happens" syndrome. You'll find it here. And it leaves some deeply embeddened footprints.An early morning jump from an illegal point of entry into Puget Sound leaves a young man with a shocking catch in his crab pot. More...

This is my second Robert Dugoni book in a row. Previously I read In the Clearing, (Tracy Crosswhite #3), and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed The Trapped Girl far more.The Trapped Girl is more tautly written; there is more suspense, more surprises, more of those delicious 'oh, I can't bear to put this down' moments, particularly in the second half of the book. Twists and turns in the plot were well done, and every time I thought I had it all figured out, Dugoni would throw in...

I have been a long time fan of the sassy and bad ass detective Crosswhite. This is the 4th book in the series. I would have to say this is my least favorite book out of the series. What do you ask keeps me coming back to this particular series? The infamous Tracy Crosswhite herself. I love Tracy and her team!!! She is such a sassy, sexy, and strong detective. This time around Tracy and her team find a woman's body in a "crab pot"... (interesting right?)..Well.. let me tell you ladies and gents t...

The Trapped Girl is another excellent entry in Robert Dugoni's series featuring Seattle homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite. The story opens when a high school boy, illegally trapping crabs out of season, pulls up a trap and finds trapped in it the body of a young woman. Crosswhite and her unit are assigned to the case, but even identifying the victim proves difficult, especially when it turns out that the woman had undergone a series of plastic surgeries in an apparent effort to conceal her ide...

THE TRAPPED GIRL is the fourth book in the Tracy Crosswhite series by New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni. I have read the previous books in the Tracy Crosswhite Series: My Sister's Grave (#1)Her Final Breath (#2)In the Clearing (#3)(I plan to read the 5th book in the series-Close To Home)I have always enjoyed reading his books, and this one is no exception…again another winner!Tracy is a detective in Seattle PD's Violent Crimes Section and she and her team are assigned to investigat...

This a taut, suspenseful murder mystery, set in Seattle, Washington. It is book 4 in the series, but I thought it worked ok as a stand alone. The book opens with the discovery of a woman's body in Puget Sound, by a man doing some out of season crabbing. The book switches back and forth between the police investigation and the thoughts of a missing woman at the center of this mystery. Tracy Crosswhite is the detective in charge of the case. She does not get along very well with her boss, Captain
