Product Information

Having seen this repeatedly recommended for me, I finally succumbed to the Kindle Unlimited with Narration of this book.

Forty years after leaving the CIA, Charles Jenkins, the hero of this nail-biter from Edgar finalist Dugoni (The 7th Canon), is living in Camano Island, Wash. Tracy Crosswhite, a Seattle policewoman obsessed with solving the supposedly closed case of her sister Sarah’s disappearance. Dugoni does a superior job of positioning [the plot elements] for maximum impact, especially in a climactic scene set in an abandoned mine during a blizzard - which is melodramatic but nevertheless effective.Keera Duggan, the protagonist of this twist-filled standalone from bestseller Dugoni (The Silent Sisters), works as a criminal defense attorney in her father’s Seattle law firm.

Dugoni is the recipient of the Nancy Pearl Award for Fiction and multiple awards for best novel set in the Pacific Northwest. Bryan Hallett You're right, electricity is generally considered to be a topic studied in Physics, not Chemistry. And since I like police procedurals and mysteries, there is always the chance that that there will be more violence than I'm comfortable reading. A Seattle homicide detective is thrust back into a painfully personal case when the remains of her 20-years-vanished younger sister are uncovered in a shallow grave near Cedar Grove, the Washington mountain town where they grew up.The guy that’s in jail for Sarah’s murder is indeed, a seriously bad dude – he’d been in jail before for abduction and rape. This book has been sitting in my TBR pile for a long time, but finally made it to the top of the heap. It is a gripping emotional and strong character-driven suspense legal thriller, of one woman’s mission to find her sister’s real killer. When Tracy wins a competition because Sarah ‘missed’ two targets on purpose, Tracy insists on giving her the medal.

The main aspects of this novel that impressed me are (1) its writing - a real page turner of a story that is easy to read and follow; (2) the characterisation - all the characters are totally believable, including the bad guys and (3) the plot - very dramatic and increasingly so as it nears its dramatic climax. This story shows the destruction of an entire family when one of the two daughters disappears and her body is found several years later. The plot contains twists that will capture the attention of the reader, though I’ll admit I did figure out a few of the plot’s mysteries before they were revealed.Tracy's sister Sarah disappeared 20 years ago and Edmund House, a convicted rapist is accused and jailed for the murder, despite that they never found the body. Often I can pick up on that in advance from what's been said about the story, but I somehow missed it this time. One thing to be aware of is that the story contains a lot of characters and a number of possible suspects for the crime . Now that Sarah’s body has been found, Tracy hires her childhood friend, Dan, to help her prove the wrong man was convicted. The mounting evidence of ever more and ever worse skulduggery will pull Tempe deeper and deeper down what even she sees as a rabbit hole before she confronts a ringleader implicated in “Drugs.

I like my mystery/thrillers smart and aboveboard with no eyerolling adventures that take you in an illogical free-fall off a deluded cliff. Every turn that Tracy and Dan make, they find more secrets and someone starts threatening their lives. Tracy Crosswhite has spent twenty years questioning the facts surrounding her sister Sarah’s disappearance and the murder trial that followed. Forty-two-year-old Tracy Crosswhite has long felt responsible for what happened the night her goofy, fun-loving sister, Sarah, disappeared. When Sarah’s remains are finally discovered near their hometown in the northern Cascade mountains of Washington State, Tracy is determined to get the answers she’s been seeking.Tracy Crosswhite still looks over her shoulder in the direction of her sister's murder twenty years ago.
