This is the latest in the Tracy Crosswhite series set in Seattle, and once again the author enters new and interesting territory, albeit in a slightly tongue in cheek manner with his references to the film A Few Good Men and the aspects that takes in the military in the Navy. The are two main threads in the novel that begins with a hit and run that turns out to be so much more and the increasing spate of fatal heroin ODs in the city. Tracy and her team work for the SPD in the Violent Crimes Sect...

He is dealing with the death of his niece due to a drug overdose.A lot in this story and certainly quite a few twists.

Once again Dugoni has switched it up for his latest instalment in the Tracy Crosswhite series. Personally, I love that he takes each new book in a slightly different direction, not just with the characters but with the overarching style too. This one was a mix between an episode of Law and Order and A Few Good Men, something I'd been thinking since the early on in the book and which made me laugh out loud when the author actually name drops that film, clearly well aware of what the readers will

This is the 5th offering in Dugoni’s popular Tracy Crosswhite police procedural series and his many fans will not be disappointed. Detective Crosswhite is the lead detective investigating the death of 12-year-old D’Andre Miller, killed by a hit-and-run driver. The driver proves to be Laszlo Trejo, a Petty Officer in the United States Navy; and the inevitable jurisdictional conflicts are just one of the many twists and turns the author presents in this fast-moving tale. Of note, Dugoni introduces...

Whenever I continue with a series, I have concerns. Will I continue to connect with the characters as they grow and change? Will things become stale? Will I have a hard time recalling their history? I'm happy that the Tracy Crosswhite series continues to work for me. This book is a bit different, having shades of a courtroom drama and involving the U.S. Navy. While sometimes the information can become overwhelming, I really feel like this book was well thought-out and extremely well researched.

ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review via NetGalley.4.5 stars!This is another great book in the Tracy Crosswhite series!The book starts with the investigation of a hit and run death of a young kid. The victim is an African American boy and the case instantly puts the black community on edge. I like how Robert Dugoni writes about current political issues in his books.

She then uncovers the drivers ties to a spate of heroin overdoses in the city and r...

This is my third Robert Dugoni novel and second Tracy Crosswhite book. There's something about this mans writing style that I love. A mixture of descriptive and factual detail along with great character development, Close To Home continues in this vein and delivers in spades. The book starts with Tracy investigating the hit and run killing of a young boy in her home town of Seattle. Her chief suspect turns out to be a service man at a local navel base. However when a crucial piece of evidence go...

I had never heard of Robert Dugoni until I received an Arc of his book "The Trapped Girl". I loved that book, btw and thought to myself, "why have I not heard of this Author before?" Needless to say, when I saw there was another ARC out in the same series, I just had to read it! One of the things I enjoy most about his writing is that he doesn't spoon feed the reader anything. He lays out his story in an intelligent fashion, there will be plot twists and reveals and all seem plausible and believ...

Five books into this series, and it’s still exciting to spend time with Tracy Crosswhite and her team. In every book, there is growth in the characters. Tracy and Dan are as strong as ever and want to start a family. Kins has hip replacement surgery. It’s Del who gets to shine in this book.There are two storylines. One starts with the hit and run death of a young basketball player. Tracy's investigation leads to the local naval base where JAG lawyers take over jurisdiction. The other has Faz and...

If I'm completely honest, this would be more in the *3.75 star range. And, that's only because it took me half the book to care about the plot.This is my least favorite Tracy Crosswhite book. The subject matter was something I hardly cared about. Which is mainly the drugs angle. Tracy gets involved after a hit and run on a 12 year old boy happens. Meanwhile, Del--another detective--is investigating the overdose of his niece. I did like the fact that we got more of a story on other characters liv...

I do love this series! The characters are great and the storylines are different. This book starts off with a hit and run killing a 12 year old boy but it twists and turns and becomes so much more. I always look forward to the next Tracey Crosswhite book.. i hope we don't have to wait too long for book 6..! Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher Thomas and Mercer for a copy of this book to read and review

Seattle homicide detective Tracy Crosswaite almost takes a backseat in this police procedural with two major storylines. In the first, Tracy and Kins are called to investigate the hit and run death of a young boy. The victim is an African American boy and there is tremendous amount of interest and scrutiny from the black community. Tracy and Kins soon make an arrest but since the suspect is in the Navy, the Navy asserts prosecutorial control and the case is transferred to them. To the black comm...
