The gripping third book in the internationally acclaimed series by New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni.

Detective Tracy Crosswhite has a skill, and a soft spot, for tackling unsolved crimes. Having lost her own sister to murder at a young age, Tracy has dedicated her career to bringing justice and closure to the families and friends of victims of crime.

So when Jenny, a former police academy classmate and protégé, asks Tracy to help solve a cold case that involves the suspicious suicide of a Native American high school girl forty years earlier, Tracy agrees. Following up on evidence Jenny's detective father collected when he was the investigating deputy, Tracy probes one small town's memory and finds dark, well-concealed secrets hidden within the community's fabric. Can Tracy uphold the promise she's made to the dead girl's family and deliver the truth of what happened to their daughter? Or will she become the next victim?

40 years of sadness 😔

Reviewed in Australia on 19 April 2022

This book kept me hooked, finding out what happened to you a young women 40 years earlier was not going to be easy but with the right people and new technologies now available will Tracy find the truth and finally give peace to the family? I loved how all the pieces fit together. So many lives were effected by this tragedy, lies and secrets.

Another great read from Mr. Dugoni.

Mr. Dugoni continues his engrossing and well written series of Detective Tracy Crosswhite books in this novel where she is simultaneously investigating the murder of a husband and a cold case for a law enforcement colleague in a township a couple of hours away. Captain Nolasco's animosity, thankfully, is almost nonexistent in the book. Highly recommended.

Only one of them is guilty it's up to Tracey and her team to unravel the evidence and find the guilty party. An old friend has contacted her about a cold case of a young girl who died 40 years ago it was ruled a suicide but why would the sheriff who died have the file in his home?

This was a very sad tale, of a life lost that didn’t have to be and the many lives impacted by that lost life! And the second story line being contemporary but very similar. As always, a good read.

Reviewed in Australia on 21 August 2017

After the first two books I was hooked, and book three doesn't disappoint. Well crafted stories that develop the characters so you can relate to them. What is really pleasing is the stories are easy to relate to and without a high level of violence. All too often now the real story gets overtaken by violence, but these books are about telling a really good story well and keeping you guessing to try end

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 August 2019

What a let down after the first two, brilliant Tracey Crosswhite books. I was so looking forward to reading this, but it just didn’t suck me in like the others. I was looking for electrifying action, thrilling pace, twists and turns, and instead got a run-of-the-mill, plodding police procedural with no pizazz whatsoever.

Dugoni’s mistake was trying to run two cases in tandem: one current and one cold. The aim was to show how solving one could trigger insight into the other. Fair enough, but there was a huge imbalance in their treatment. So much so that the recent murder actually seemed an irrelevance, a distraction even from the main narrative.

The real meat was in the reopening of a 20 year-old case involving the suicide of a young Native American woman. Fresh evidence has come to light and Tracey suspects a coverup for murder. While the mechanics of the investigation, in particular the forensics, are detailed and compelling, the actual rolling out of the plot is just plain dull. The story had great possibilities, but there were too many diversions and an inordinate number of characters who simply had no business being there.

Up until I read this book, I considered Tracey Crosswhite to be a brilliant detective heroine. Her back story - leaving teaching to join the police following the murder of her sister - gives her great motive and integrity. But Dugoni really missed an opportunity here to further develop the personal side of Tracey. I think most readers favor well-rounded characters with recognizable human emotions, foibles, strengths and weaknesses, but sadly Tracey hasn’t evolved at all from the person she was in the last book. For example, it would have been nice to explore more her relationship with boyfriend Dan, but he pretty much popped in at the beginning and the end, and that was it. He might as well not have been mentioned at all.

All in all, I think Dugoni dropped the ball big time with this one. I hope he picks it up again for Detective Crosswhite’s next big case.

Thanks for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful. You can find more candid book reviews on my profile page.

Another great crime novel from Robert Dugoni with two separate story lines for you to enjoy.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2019

Verified Purchase

I really enjoy these Tracy Crosswhite crime stories by Robert Dugoni, especially as one can read them as 'stand alone' novels. 'In the Clearing' has a terrific plot; we follow Tracy Crosswhite & her colleagues as they investigate two crimes, one of which occurred 40 years ago. I hadn't expected two separate story lines from reading the description about the book on Amazon, but as far as I am concerned, this was a bonus ... two separate story lines, running concurrently through the novel, all for the price of one.
I particularly enjoyed the 'cold case' story-line. I won't spoil your enjoyment by revealing too much about the plot but Robert Dugoni's style of writing is so effective that as I read it I found myself reminiscing about my high school days in Canada in the late 1960s (even though this story is set in northern USA and the mid 1970s)! The cold case story features more prominently in the book than the case set in the modern day and I think the book is the better for this. I found the cold case far more interesting to follow as Tracy Crosswhite and her colleagues use current developments in forensic science to uncover new evidence that would not have been available forty years earlier. The only (minor) criticism I would have is the convenience of having so much evidence available to work with 40 years on. The second case takes a different angle as Tracy and her colleagues attempt to discover if the person who has admitted to a murder actually committed it or if they were covering up for the actions of someone else. Sorry, but you'll have to read the story to find out.
So overall, another terrific book from Robert Dugoni that I hope you will find as enjoyable to read as I did.

Different feel to this book...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2021

Verified Purchase

Overall excellent writing as always & fascinating plot with interesting twists... There was a different feel to this than previous books, possibly due to the nature of Tracy's investigation into a cold case & how she had to handle it pretty much by herself...
I felt the pacing of the book fell a bit flat in the middle & I had to force myself to keep on reading as I knew the payoff would be worth it...
A bittersweet, moving ending & good premise for future books... On we go to the next one!

Nonetheless a good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 January 2020

This is the third book in the series, unlike the previous two, this largely concerned a 'cold case' from over twenty years ago and Tracey's investigation into it, which was done on an 'unofficial' basis. There was a current case running at the same time which she largey left to her partner, Kins. To me, the current case was the more exciting of the two story lines and i wish that story was developed more. Nonetheless a good read, but maybe not as exciting as book number 2.

Back To First Class

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 September 2017

Yayyyyyy, back to the class of My Sister's Grave. I'm so relieved. I bought books 2 and 3 on the back of how much I enjoyed that yet I really didn't get along with Her Final Breath. So I've just gone ahead and bought book 4 now I know we're back to business as usual.
Now I know book 1 was set around Tracy's sister Sarah's murder case but I did find in this one it got a little tiresome that it was mentioned so often and I just saw in the synopsis of book 4 that it's a theme once more. Too many people Tracy happened upon had grey hair, too, I found. At the beginning we're told Kimi had been dating for six months, going back to the end of the last year but we were already in November so that's closer to a year by my maths. I've no idea what a grounder is and even Google was no help !! There were mentions of Angela making 2 phonecalls to different people at the same time. That was written correctly later in the story but not the first time so that was a little confusing. And Americans love their acronyms, don't they ? I had to keep looking them up-REI, USGS, etc....I did have a mumble under my breath about those. Another baffling moment was after she found the clinic a chap had visited and refers to psychotherapy and mental health but it hadn't been mentioned at all what type of facility it was so I wondered how SHE knew. He does it again when she visits Sam for the second time and he goes straight to a box of archived newspapers without her telling him the date she'd wanted to see....and yet again I was lost by "When UW (I figured this acronym) came knocking, that was all she wrote".....huh ?? Someone had been sick in the clearing yet Buzz hadn't spotted that or mentioned it and he was no slouch.
I chuckled to myself at Jenny knowing what her son's crying in the garden was all about. I don't have kids but CAN relate with my dogs as they have differing barks so I know when they really mean it !! I really liked the characters of Sam and Adele. They were lovely folks. I also enjoyed how we saw November 1976 through differing eyes and points of view. I liked the way that was done.
Once again I loved the dedication for Joe and also the way Catherine's described in the Acknowledgements-she sounds a gem. I'm pleased I get to stick with this series.
