My Sister's Grave - Robert Dugoni
She read
This is the first in the popular Tracy Crosswhite series. It has been on my TBR for a very long time as I have read all nine others, but missed this one.
In this introduction to Tracy, she is a detective with Seattle police department. Twenty years ago, when she was a teacher in small town Cedar Grove, her younger sister, Sarah, went missing. Someone was arrested for her murder and is serving jail time. Because a body was never found, Sarah has always been unsettled about what really happened and even spent a lot of time doing her own investigation. When Sarah’s remains are finally discovered, evidence is revealed that is contrary to what was used to convict the alleged killer. Things just don’t add up and she contacts childhood friend, attorney Dan O’Leary, to request a new trial for the “killer” so that the truth can finally be uncovered. When the prisoner is unexpectedly set free, it unleashes secrets, danger, and perhaps a lasting relationship for Tracy.
This is one of my favorite series. Tracy is strong willed and has a mind of her own, which can often get her into trouble. Having read all the subsequent books, it was fun to see how Tracy has grown and changed a bit as the stories have progressed. What hasn’t changed, though, is that from the beginning, Dugoni writes a story that pulls you in and doesn’t let you go until you finish.
If you like police procedurals with strong female MCs, and are not familiar with Robert Dugoni’s works, do become acquainted with them. The books work as stand alones as Dugoni does a good job of filling in background information in each one, but I think it is much more satisfying to read all of them now that I have.
