Well done book. Felt realistic with the drug culture in our country. I enjoy Tracy Crosswhite but was glad to see them develop the character of Del in this book.

Great story!
Tracy Crosswhite is on to another tough and perplexing case to solve. A twelve year old boy has been killed in a hit and run accident that they are trying to solve. Once they get some evidence and start putting the pieces together the military comes in and takes jurisdiction but of course, once it becomes Tracy’s case she follows through to the end. And thank god she does as things go missing and problems occur with important evidence and more questions when things start to intersect with another case her fellow A team Del and Faz are working. This story had plenty of twists and turns and questions that just pulled you in and kept you hooked on the story! I really enjoyed it and was fully engaged from beginning to end. It is well written and just done well with how things are laid out. I loved this book and have truly enjoyed the previous books in the series and can’t wait for more Tracy Crosswhite novels. This character is awesome and feels very realistic and the supporting characters (A team and Dan) and great as well and I love the tidbits that we get with their lives as these stories and series progress. Well done!

CLOSE TO HOME is the 5th instalment of the Tracy Crosswhite series. As per Dugoni's usual fashion, two active cases are being investigated by the Violent Crimes 'A' team (Tracy, Kins, Del, and Faz). The first case is the investigation of the death of a young boy in a hit and run. The second case involves a recent surge of heroin overdoses which tie in with the suspect, an active-duty naval officer, of the hit and run. Tracy is quickly realizing the secrets lie deeper than she first thought.
I love how Dugoni writes such intricate and engaging plots, holding the reader captive as he reveals each new piece of information or plot twist. Emily Dutton-Smith is a fantastic narrator and I truly adore that she has been narrating each novel from the beginning.
I really like the character development Dugoni exhibits in each of the primary investigators as the series progresses. Kins and Del are heavily featured in this novel compared to previous instalments and this allows the reader to get to know each character more intimately. We get to see the day to day struggles of each main character: Kins is struggling with health issues while Tracy struggles with conceiving. Del's niece, Allie, recently died of a drug overdose so this case touches close to home for him. Dugoni does a great job of sharing Del's pain and struggles with both his personal and professional ties with drug use - aiding in opening the eyes and understanding of the reader.
While this series could be read as standalone, the character development and background progresses with each novel.

Many times I thought I had guessed the perp, killer, and the ending, I was very surprised! I can't wait to read more of Tracy and all the crew.

Nowhere near as good as the first 4 books in the Tracy Crosswhite series. I found this one to be boring and drug on in the middle. The ending was quite predictable too.
