The newest Tracy Crosswhite book is a must read! Tracy and her crew are back and ready to tackle their toughest case yet, which will hit close to home for Tracy.

Detective Tracy Crosswhite has devoted her life to helping others after her sister went missing. When Tracy is called in to consult on a case involving the disappearance of a young woman, all the old memories come rushing back to her.  When the body is found Tracy knows her instincts were right.  The case becomes more complicated as Tracy is pregnant and trying to stay on the job as long as she can.  A new detective has joined the team and Tracy fears she is here to replace her. Tracy’s partner Vic is also facing trouble when his investigation into the murder of a local community member turns out to be more complicated than any of them could have expected.  With both of their careers on the line, Tracy and the team have to work together to save the lives of those they have sworn to protect and continue working together.

Robert Dugoni has done it again with the latest Tracy Crosswhite story! The nice thing about this story is the focus on the rest of the team.  Tracy is still a main part of the story but we really get to see into the lives of Vic and Del and the rest of the team.  This series has captivated me since My Sister’s Grave; some installments in the series are better than others but this one fits pretty close to the top of the list.  Tracy is my favorite character out of almost all the books I have read in a very long time. She is tough but also has her vulnerable side and Dugoni shows this side at all the right times. Showing her working a case while being pregnant and having to take on new challenges and responsibilities she has into consideration really changes her and the story.  Dugoni has a way of carrying a story forward in ways other authors have yet to figure out.  There are times he goes back and forth between characters as well as time but it never throws the reader from the story.  It is an intricate way of weaving a complicated plot and story line together to make an unforgettable novel and characters.  It’s not only the main characters that shine, each and every character in this novel had their moment to shine, and shine they did. Robert Dugoni is one of the top authors out there for a reason. He has mastered the art of storytelling and I can’t recommend his novels highly enough.  Everyone looking for a remarkable story that will leave you thirsting for more Tracy Crosswhite adventures needs to grab A Steep Price immediately.
