I’ll admit to being a big fan of Robert Dugoni and his Tracy White series. And this one doesn’t disappoint. In this, the sixth book, Tracy is hiding the fact she’s pregnant. On the investigation side, she’s called in to consult on a missing person’s case. This series always just feels very real to me. Here, Dugoni tells the present day story from Tracy’s POV and gives the background in flashbacks told from the missing woman’s POV. Not my favorite technique, but it helps to keep the story flowing...

EXCERPT: The daylight had nearly extinguished, the forest now an ever-deepening gray. It was time to go home. Something moved. She turned. Something in the brush. She turned again, then a third time. Something circling her. She turned yet again, but saw only the trees, straight and tall, like darkened sentries. She fought to hold her breath, struggling to listen. The crickets clicked and the unseen insects buzzed. A light breeze caught the limbs of the trees, causing them to moan and creak. A bu...

On the surface A Steep Price is a fine police procedural about Detective Tracy Crosswhite’s team working two entirely different cases. Tracy’s case is at the request of t Detective Katie Pryor, Missing Persons Squad, and involves the disappearance of a beautiful East Indian woman, Kavita Mukherjee. Tracy is hung up testifying in court, so Det. Kin Rowe is soon roped into the investigation. When Tracy finds Kavita's body, Tracy is determined to retain this case despite jurisdictional issues. At

Normally, I love Robert Dugoni’s Tracy Crosswhite books, and I can dive right in. Number six, A Steep Price, was a whole ‘nuther ball of wax for me. I did love it, for the most part, but it took a while for me to get into it. Why? For one thing, Detective Tracy Crosswhite starts out in court. She’s not even involved in the main case, which is the murder of a woman, a mother who’s fighting to organize her neighbors and her community to fight gangs and drug dealers. That sounded pretty nasty to me...

Thanks to the author for writing another book in the Tracy Crosswhite series. The two main stories told in this book alternate from one chapter to another with Tracy and Kins investigating a murder of an Indian woman and Faz and Del investigating a murder related to a drug gang. Added to the mix is a new A team member, who majorly ruffles Tracy's feathers. Tracy is hiding her pregnancy, Vic is keeping the lid on his wife's new cancer prognosis, and the new team member has secrets of her own. On

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone can see." (Confucius)And Robert Dugoni will keep that thread weaving throughout his storyline. We'll catch a glimpse of those who cherish every moment given and those who throw life away like yesterday's news. The goodies, the baddies, and those in-between. Detectives Del Castigliano and Vic Fazzio of the Seattle Police Department A Team are called to a shooting in broad daylight in a city park. The victim is Monique Rogers, an African American community

First and foremost, a large thank you to NetGalley, Robert Dugoni, and Thomas & Mercer for providing me with a copy of this publication, which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review. Presenting yet another stellar novel in the Tracy Crosswhite series, Robert Dugoni has not disappointed his fans whatsoever. While trying to come to terms with her pregnancy, Detective Tracy Crosswhite has yet to tell anyone, save her husband and partner, Kinsington Rowe. An added stress befalls Crosswhit

If you have not yet discovered Tracey Crosswhite and her team you really need to jump on that train...but don't start with this one. Go back and start with book one and work your way up to this -0 book 6 in such a fantastic series. I always know when I start one of these books that I am in for a treat... and definitely not disappointed with book 6.This one is a bit different with the team working different cases. Tracey is pregnant (and hiding it) and giving evidence in court. The rest of her te...

3.5 StarsThe sixth book in the Tracy Crosswhite series, while enjoyable, was not one of my favorites. The story, or more accurately stories, revolved around families. There are a couple of murders and a little bit of action during the investigation of one murder but mostly that appears to be a side story to the stories of families.Tracy is pregnant and wants to keep it a secret. She has told her partner but that is it. She certainly doesn't want her captain to know. As readers of other books in

I’m a fan of Robert Dugoni's books and have read them all except his single non-fiction book. This is the sixth entry in the Tracy Crosswhite series, and I’m happy to say the series is going strong.Once again, there are two cases for the A team, and there is a new “fifth wheel” for the team, Andrea Gonzalez. Faz and Del investigate the shooting death of an anti-gang anti-drug activist. Del throws his back out, so Andrea teams with Faz. Faz is also dealing with a personal crisis. Tracy and Kins a...
