While investigating the hit-and-run death of a young boy, Seattle homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite makes a startling discovery: the suspect is an active-duty serviceman at a local naval base. After a key piece of case evidence goes missing, he is cleared of charges in a military court. But Tracy knows she can't turn her back on this kind of injustice.

This is the 5th book in this very good series.

In this instalment a young boy is killed in a hit and run and the car that hit the boy is traced back to a member of the Navy. Tracy finds herself dealing with a military that appears to want to close ranks and protect one of their own.
In this book we also get to know Del, one of Tracy's colleagues a lot better. He is dealing with the death of his niece due to a drug overdose.
A lot in this story and certainly quite a few twists.

This book had twists and turns keeps you guessing, we always think we know......? Even the experts don't always get it right. Reading this it makes you wonder in the real world how many times this sort of thing happens. 2 stories that are related by circumstance. A young girls dies and are young boy in a hit and run at first it's like how do these stories fit together but it was written so well it just all made sense.

‘Close to Home’ is the fifth installment in the outstanding Tracy Crosswhite series. Robert Dugoni is one of my top authors however I have tended to read this series over time and disparately but to be honest it makes no difference. Robert Dugoni's way of stringing words together makes it easy to follow both the mystery/action along with the personal stories of the characters. He takes the mystery trope and delivers the right amount of twists to make it feel believable but surprising and unpredictable in my opinion.

This too was yet another story of intrigue and sadness. It brought several sinister plots to the forefront including coverups, death and drugs that plague society today and in the fast pace way he delivered it kept me swiping into the wee hours of the morning.

I did struggle through some of the legalese parts but found them interesting and informative. I don’t know if it’s just the fact that I’m just not into books with a Military theme but I also felt this meant I had to concentrate far more than his previous books.

That being said, as always, Dugoni has a great team and there is much detail and research given. He has delivered another well written, fast moving book. If you like NCIS you will love this book!!

Nice to have a happy ending - in this case, two! A good plot with two investigations and new characters made for an interesting read, a good outcome for the cases, and something to smile about at the end. Robert, love your writing and I have a number to read, but, keep them coming.

This was hard to get into, I was crying within the first pages and sometimes I find it hard to continue. But I did, it was as always an excellent read. But at the same time, very close I imagine to a very real story happening right now. Drugs are hell!

Really Enjoyed This One

Reviewed in Australia on 30 September 2017

I was worried , with this being the fith in the series that I wouldn't enjoy it as much as the others...boy, was I wrong! I enjoyed this book a lot. The characters are always well rounded and developed, there's no superficiality about them. The 'whodunnit' aspect kept me guessing and I always end up up late trying to get to the end to make sure everyone I care about vis safe. Thanks for another great book

Enjoyed this novel it was fast paced, plenty of action. Allowed you to get to know the characters and also had a couple of interesting twists. If you enjoy detective books with a little bit of military thrown in you should like this

Different pace, same intrigue

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2022

Verified Purchase

This book felt a lot different from previous ones in the series, mainly because the storyline, both main and subplot, were unconventional 'murders' - one was a hit & run, the other a heroin overdose... However, as with all of his novels, the twists and turns keep coming, there is no shortage of drama and the overlap between both deaths is skilfully done...

I love the richness of the characters, they truly come alive in his writing and I'm hoping two of the newly introduced characters (Leah and Celia) will be regulars from now on - strong, interesting, intelligent women with intriguing backgrounds & sharp, witty personalities, similar to Tracy herself.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Dugoni has a real talent for writing about strong, interesting women without making them too intense or unrealistic - refreshing to read

Another Great Story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 November 2018

And.....another great story in this terrific series. There was only one of them I wasn't as keen on but I reckon everyone is entitled to one dud ! This one was a proper can't-put-it-down tale once it got going. I did begin to get a little bogged down with all the naval stuff and attendant legalities but, once past that it fair raced along.
We get to meet a couple of new characters in this tale among our set of regulars alongside Tracy. I liked Leah a great deal, though the nickname of Lee baffled me a bit. I wasn't sure what joke I'd missed there......maybe it's a play on Bruce Lee ?? Hopefully someone can translate that for me. Celia is another terrific addition, too.....what a nice lady she is. We also spent more time with another of Tracy's colleagues for a change than we did with her. There were some very amusing moments here and there as well that I noted. However, being an older reader I needed to get on Google to translate some of the texting acronyms used here. One of them, KKUT, I couldn't figure at all, even looking there.
There were a couple of sentences which I just thought were atrocious English in the way they were presented, which I just marked "Huh ?" in my Kindle notations...."Did you call the name of that therapist I left for you ?" and "I can tell you more later, when it's a little better time."
I spotted the odd error-corn and not corned written when he got it right every other time it was written, the same for parent's as opposed to parents'-again, written correctly aside from just the once. He wrote flog where I'd have used flood, salute and not salut (which I'm sure I referred to in a prior review of one of his books) and I'd write rollercoaster as the one word but that's all for my nitpicky stuff. Loved the ending here and look forward to the series' continuation.

A good read that grips you from the first page

This series has improved as it has gone along. I found this to be the best book so far and am looking forward to book 6 which I have pre-ordered. There iare still little areas where it goes over the same information, for instance the description of Melton, (like a bear etc) already in the book fairly early but repeated every time someone comes into contact with him.
Apart from that is was a great story with plenty of 'Red Herrings' to follow and this time the more personal side of some of the characters was developed which I like.

Once more, the author didn't disappoint me. I didn't want to put this book down. Drugs, and murder, it seemed as if Tracy was in a maze as she tried to find the right path to find out the truth about the hit and run driver. What secrets was he keeping? Why was he so sure he'd get away with killing the young boy? Who hid the evidence tape to help his case?
This book had me on the edge of my seat. Well worth the 5 stars

Good crime romp……but

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 October 2021

5th book in the series and I consider myself a Crosswhite fan. The story has the twists and turns I’ve come to expect from Mr Dugoni. But I didn’t find the story flow as smoothly as the previous books. Was a bit disappointed in the great reveal. I don’t want to put a spoiler in ,so not going to explain. Hasn’t stopped me purchasing next In series though.
