"Tracy Crosswhite is one of the best protagonists in the realm of crime fiction today, and there is nothing cold about A Cold Trail." (Associated Press)

In New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni's riveting series, Seattle homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite returns home to a brutal murder and her haunted past.

The last time homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite was in Cedar Grove, it was to see her sister's killer put behind bars. Now she's returned for a respite and the chance to put her life back in order for herself, her attorney husband, Dan, and their new daughter. But tragic memories soon prove impossible to escape.

Dan is drawn into representing a local merchant whose business is jeopardized by the town's revitalization. And Tracy is urged by the local PD to put her own skills to work on a new case: the brutal murder of a police officer's wife and local reporter who was investigating a cold-case slaying of a young woman. As Tracy's and Dan's cases crisscross, Tracy's trail becomes dangerous. It's stirring up her own haunted past and a decades-old conspiracy in Cedar Grove that has erupted in murder. Getting to the truth is all that matters. But what’s Tracy willing to risk as a killer gets closer to her and threatens everyone she loves?

Not a true Tracy Crosswhite

Reviewed in Australia on 29 February 2020

Verified Purchase

This book has far too much "mom activity" - diaper changing, breast feeds, baby monitoring - and too much soul searching about "upsetting husband - who knew what they were taking on when they married. Lets have more detective work and less description of daily life. After reading all previous 6 Crosswhite books plus many other Dugoni novels, this book was disappointing and not up to the expected standard. Sorry, Robert.

Again this book was written exceptionally well, this time Dan was more part of this story which was great, we caught up with Faz and Vera.
Tracy, Dan and 8 week old Daniella return home while their new place is being renovated. It doesn't take long before Tracy's old boss Ron hooks her into helping out how 3 murders might be connected as things don't add up, it causes issues as Tracy should be on maternity leave but she just can't say NO, I found her to be selfish wanting her cake and eating it to, I could understand Dan having concerns as their daughter is so young and the investigation could lead to Tracy being a target. Sometimes it just isn't the obvious and that's what I loved about this book.

I never hesitate to buy the next book in the series. Another amazing book with twists and turns, always keep you guessing. I love the characters, the storyline and the fact it keeps you so involved to the very end. Well written, loved it.

A Cold-case thriller coupled with a new set of murders to sink your teeth into.

Reviewed in Australia on 24 July 2020

As a 'who dunnit'/thriller fan, I enjoyed the gradual unfolding of a case set well in the past with its tentacles reaching scarily into the present. There was a slow and suspenseful build, but it delivers all the thrills and sleuthing skills that we've come to expect from any Dugoni story.

Another entertaining chapter in the Crosswhite series. Dugoni has made us comfortable with this cast of crimefighters, yet can still weave a nuanced storyline around their lives.

As usual Robert Dugoni delivers in spades, with plot twists and interesting side pieces that link back into the main theme of the story. Enjoyed every page and will read more from this author in the future.

Just another fabulous Robert Dugoni read. He is a number one author in my opinion and his books never fail.

Not The Best In This Series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2020

While I am a fan of this series, I didn't like this as much as some of the previous stories. I did find myself getting a bit TOO bogged down with some of the (needless) legalese in this one. I know Mr Dugoni knows the law but us layfolk don't and in this instalment I began to glaze over with some of it. Perhaps because he was going on about contract law and purchases, etc....so not even the criminal stuff. So I lost interest. I didn't understand it but I wasn't interested enough in that side of things to WANT to understand it, either, I found......"The doctrine does not apply when a government performs a proprietary function"......just.........no !!
I really liked his dedication in this one and also the way he fleshed out his friend some more at the end as well. His loss is clearly ours, too. I very much liked the new character Therese. I was less than impressed with Chief Calloway, though, and some of his behaviour. At one point we had Tracy go to interview a prior mayor, who then told her he'd "let Gary know we spoke" apropos of goodness' knows what.....I didn't get why he needed to let Gary know at all !!
There were odd mistakes in this one, too. They visited a restaurant one night and were handed menus upon arrival and then again a few minutes later when water was served, he wrote knit and not knitted, born not borne, there were the odd apostrophe mistakes and missing punctuation here and there but nothing too often, thankfully.
I'll look forward to the next story in the series though I preordered this one so now have quite a wait, I expect.

Such a gifted 2 month old baby....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2020

I’m halfway through the book and enjoying the plot but a 2 month old baby who eats solid food, lies on her tummy and raises her head and plays with her toys??! Seriously?! Most two month olds are barely discovering they’ve got hands. I’ve skim read several other reviews but appear to be the only reader, bar one, who finds this intensely irritating! Mr Dugoni needs to either research babies better or use an editor who actually pays attention to content.

Another great book in an even better series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 March 2022

Verified Purchase

Lots to love in this novel & great to see a return of Leah Battles, however briefly... The overall plot was well written with the usual unexpected twists and turns but I'm always more gripped by the nuances of the sub-plot and character development i.e. Tracy navigating motherhood, marriage & her career, Dan's inner conflicts with a strong, independently minded wife and his desire to protect her & his daughter despite her stubbornness to see justice done at all costs... Loved to see the family bond between Tracy, Faz & Vera (her de facto parents, well older brother/sister at least)...

Lots to love & lots to look forward to in the next book, glad the series is going strong

Not worth the wait.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2020

Such a disappointment following the previous 4star plus episodes. Far too much legalese and lack of any real plot. If Cedar Grove was such a close knit community as suggested on so many occasions then it's hard to believe how 20 years passed without the storyline being unearthed before.So much of the storyline was repeated unnecessarily. Glad to be reunited with Faz and albeit briefly with Kins, but let's hope episode 8 gets us back to proper detective activity. Sadly if I had not read the whole series to date then book 8 wouldn't be on my "want to read' list. Sorry Robert, but I'm being honest with my opinion and for me not your best by quite a long way.

Not the best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2020

Fairly disappointed with this book so can only give it 3 stars which is a shame because all the others in this series have been fantastic. I felt it lost its way because there was no Del or Kin’s or even Nolesco and far too much time on Tracy’s struggles with the job and motherhood although with a the baby at 8 weeks already on solids and playing with her toys in her bouncer the kid will be able to look after herself by the time she’s one. Still I can forgive this slip up as long as the next book kicks back into gear.
