Close to Home - Robert Dugoni

Close to Home - Robert Dugoni

She read

Release date:  September 5, 2017

I only discovered Robert Dugoni a year or so ago….and I am glad I did.  A prolific writer, he tells a good, cohesive story with strong character development that maintains reader interest.

This is the fifth in the Tracy Crosswhite series. Dugoni revisits familiar characters and introduces two new people whom I think may become recurring figures.

The Seattle Violent Crimes section is investigating two cases.  The first involves a hit and run that kills a young African American boy.  The culprit is a Navy man from nearby Bremerton which results in their official involvement in the case.  Tracy and her partner, Kins Rowe, receive this assignment.  Meanwhile, Del Castigliano and Vic Fazzio pursue the people responsible for selling a strain of heroin that has resulted in a number of fatal overdoses.  It’s personal for Del as one of the victims was his niece.  Add to that Tracy coping with infertility while Kins is facing hip surgery which he is sure will go wrong.  

As the cases unfold, the suspense builds and there are twists and turns that will keep the reader enthralled.  Another hit for Dugoni.


One doesn’t have to have read the prior novels in this series to understand who the characters are. However, if you are unfamiliar with Dugoni’s work, do yourself a favor and go back and read the four prior books.
