About this deal

I was immersed in the story and couldn't put it down. The characters felt realistic, with their strengths and weaknesses. I liked Tracy's determination to do what she felt was right, her loyalty to her friends and colleagues, and her strength. I really enjoyed the courtroom scenes and testimony.

The character outlined above is Tracy Crosswhite, now a Seattle homicide detective. While working a case she receives notice that two hunters have found the remains of a body in the hills above her hometown, Cedar Grove. Is this the body of her long missing sister Sarah? This novel will appeal to fans of legal crime thrillers, courtroom dramas, investigations, and police procedures with well-developed characters, in a small town setting...with a twisted ending.

The Tracy Crosswhite Series in Order (12 Books)

MY SISTER’S GRAVE" by Robert Dugoni is a great legal thriller mixed with a classic police procedural. It is a gripping emotional and strong character-driven suspense legal thriller, of one woman’s mission to find her sister’s real killer. Charlie soon finds himself in Russia in a cat and mouse game trying to uncover the identity of the 8th sister, the person responsible for the murder of several Russian spies. Soon things become so intense and Charlie past experience in the CIA is put to test. Let me make this clear to you. You may be a big-time homicide detective in Seattle, but here you have no jurisdiction. Here, you’re just a citizen. I’m the law. I suggest you remember that and don’t go running around chasing ghosts.’

Oddly, House seems somewhat less than helpful when Tracy seeks the professional advice of her childhood friend, Dan, who has become a lawyer. Is it possible that House doesn’t believe there’s a chance of freedom for him after two decades? Or is something else at work here? The way he looks at Tracy makes her skin crawl. He seems to constantly be smirking and plotting something evil. But if he didn’t get a fair trial, she needs to set things right. The ending. To be frank. I'm not sure that I really liked it, I saw it as a possibility that it could end something like this. And, it just didn't seem that surprising when the book ended it the way I suspected it would. Tracy Crosswhite is a very engaging heroine and the main story is fast paced such that it’s almost impossible to put the book down once you get going. Tracy switches careers from a simple chemistry teacher to a homicide detective. The memory of it all is killing her mind, soul and heart and the only road that leads to peace is to tread down the memory’s pathway once again. Robert Dugoni creates his protagonist as an witty, no nonsense analytical reasoning heroine. And there is a bonus to the story.

Publication Order of Charles Jenkins Books

Robert Dugoni’s books are sold in more than thirty countries and have been translated into more than thirty languages. In the years since her sister disappeared, Tracy quits her teaching job, moved to Seattle, and became a homicide detective, while working on her sister’s case whenever possible. Tracy never bought into the theory that the man accused of killing her sister was guilty. Now that Sarah’s body has been found, Tracy hires her childhood friend, Dan, to help her prove the wrong man was convicted. But, the local sheriff pulls out all the stops to make sure a new trial never takes place. Was there a conspiracy? Who really killed Sarah and how will Tracy manage to prove it? Her parents are no longer alive, but the same Sheriff and others involved in the original investigation and manhunt are still around, and she questions them all.

It’s been twenty years, Lieutenant. I’ve gone through it every day for twenty years. I’ll get through these days the same way I got through those, one bad day at a time.’” Every turn that Tracy and Dan make, they find more secrets and someone starts threatening their lives. I mean you have to have that right? We realize it is in those quiet moments that each of us has the ability to make our lives extraordinary.”

Detective Tracy Crosswhite draws a long-dormant serial killer out of hiding in a nerve-shattering novel by New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni. When Sarah disappeared, Tracy Crosswhite was a high school chemistry teacher. Three years later, Tracy is divorced from a man who wouldn’t or couldn’t give her time to work out her grief and self-imposed guilt. She is estranged from a mother who blames her for leaving Sarah alone. And her physician father has abandoned her also, having spiraled into the swirling pit of grief, alcoholism and self-termination. As My Sister’s Grave opens, Tracy is 42 years old and a Homicide Detective. Tracy decided to become a law enforcement officer after her sister Sarah disappeared twenty years previously and was never found. Tracy’s ultimate goal is to find out what happened to Sarah and bring justice to her sister. There is an unexpected break in the very cold case, and Tracy is determined to find out once and for all who is responsible for her sister’s disappearance. I am a HUGE fan of Robert Dugoni's. The chance to read My Sister's Grave was a real treat. His writing is so good; while I have compared him to Grisham in the past her, I also am going to layer in a comparison to Sandra Brown. His plotting and characters never fail to completely engage me."
