Tracy and Kins are investigating a hit and run that of a 12 year old African American , D'Andre Miller. The suspect is a Navy based Officer Laszlo Trejo but is proven innocent . Tracy though believes that justice was not served and digs deeper only to uncover a conspiracy that puts her in great danger. Meanwhile Del Castigliano is struggling with his niece's fatal heroin overdose and along with his partner, Vic Fazzio, tries to hunt down the dealer whose supply is resulting in the high number of OD’s happening around the city

Close to Home by Robert Dugoni is the fifth installment in the Tracy Crosswhite series .This is another action packed thriller with great characters that will keep you hooked to the end. A great addition to the series

I would like to thank Thomas Mercer & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.

I knew going in that this episode in the series wasn't great. I still thought it was better than the previous one but not by all that much.

There were plenty of bullshit moments with regard to just about every aspect of the handling of the two cases and the plot. Lots of eye rolling and mentally yelling at the characters - and sometimes the author - but I held out because the personal aspects of the book held my attention. Even though much of it was predictable. I'm not terribly thrilled that Battles is being set up to be a regular addition to the cast, either.

The narrator didn't do anything to make me happier. Her accents, particularly the two Italian detectives, were super annoying and everything Battles said made her sound like an insufferable asshole. She she sort of was but the tone wasn't necessary every damn time she said or thought something.

I think I'll try reading the next one with my eyes if the same narrator is used.

This was such a great installation to the Detective Crosswhite series. I loved that the author did not get caught up in her sister’s death and let that be her only thing. This installation was powerful. When Dale is reading his niece’s text and emails I had to stop reading because it was so emotional and I couldn’t read it again for LITERALLY FOUR MONTHS. Every time I looked at it, I got too emotional to open it. I was really sucked in. MORE TRACY!! Oh and I’m happy that her partner fin ally got that surgery. About time.
