This book was so incredibly good. I am so obsessed with this author. All the crime mysteries had me hooked. And I couldn’t have imagined a better ending. I also read the two short stories about Tracy’s early days while reading this and that made the Nalasco humor in this one so much better. I absolutely love Tracy.

Book 8 in the Tracy Crosswhite (TC) series.
Tracy returns from her maternity leave to find that her position is not available. She is instead offered a job as the Cold Case investigator. Rather than quit the force, Tracy recognizes that she will be doing families a service if she can solve the cold cases.
A few years earlier, a little girl, Elle Chin, goes missing from a corn maze. The father, a member of the Seattle PD, with a domestic abuse charge is a suspect, but he swears innocence. The ex-wife also claims innocence. Meanwhile, there is a woman that has gone missing while out jogging. This brings Tracy's attention to the homes surrounding the trail, specifically the Sprague brothers, and a dog walker, Bibby.
As Tracy investigates, she uncovers a horrific crime, all while trying to close the cold cases.
Another great TC book. I love this series! Well written.

Fun to read, love the switch in perspectives and getting insight on the characters. At first, I wished we didn’t know that the brothers were involved, but I enjoyed the chapters that showed us what they did and the relationships. Big plot twist, didn’t want to put the book down in the last quarter of the book.

In Her Tracks (Tracy Crosswhite #8) by Robert Dugoni
Tracy Crosswhite is back! Even though her baby is already ten months old, she is just coming back from extended maternity/compassionate leave and Tracy now sees a counselor regularly due to events from book #7. Despite the fact that she should be getting her old position back, she's reluctant to bump another woman out of that job so she takes the opening as the only person on the cold case unit. The hours should be less grueling and will allow her to be home with Dan and the baby in the evening and on weekends.
Tracy picks three cold cases to work and two of them (missing prostitutes) have a connection with a current missing girl case that her former partner, Kins is working and he asks her help. So basically, Tracy is back in the game, once again raising her stress level by focusing on cases that are similar to that of her long missing, now known dead, sister's case. Dan's worried, her counselor is worried, but Tracy can't give up on these women.
Quickly, Tracy and Kins have their sights on three brothers who are working hard to stonewall the detectives. Tracy is also investigating the cold case of a missing five year old girl who disappeared from a corn maze five years earlier. I like that Tracy knows she wants to work, knows she has to do this right now, and doesn't let the fact that she is going to miss some firsts with her baby keep her from pursuing the job she loves. She and Dan have a full time, trusted nanny, the baby is with people who love her, at all times, and Tracy can continue to help those who depend on someone who cares. This is another entertaining addition to the Crosswhite series and I'm glad that Tracy is still on the job.
