The Trapped Girl (The Tracy Crosswhite, #4)

by Robert Dugoni

In this #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller, Tracy Crosswhite must first identify the victim to catch the killer.

When a woman's body is discovered submerged in a crab pot in the chilly waters of Puget Sound, Detective Tracy Crosswhite finds herself with a tough case to untangle. Before they can identify the killer, Tracy and her colleagues on the Seattle PD's Violent Crimes Section must figure out who the victim is. Her autopsy, however, reveals she may have gone to great lengths to conceal her identity. So who was she running from?

After evidence surfaces that their Jane Doe may be a woman who suspiciously disappeared months earlier, Tracy is once again haunted by the memory of her sister's unsolved murder. Dredging up details from the woman's past leads to conflicting clues that only seem to muddy the investigation. As Tracy begins to uncover a twisted tale of brutal betrayal and desperate greed, she'll find herself risking everything to confront a killer who won't go down without a deadly fight. Once again, New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni delivers a taut, riveting thriller in the fourth installment of his acclaimed Tracy Crosswhite series.

Reviews

This was the most intense book so far. The case was riveting. Between jurisdictions being passed back and forth, dead bodies, fake deaths and money this was insane. And I loved every minute of it. I like Dan and Tracy - their romance is sweet but not overwhelming - it's a crime novel not romance. The mystery was crazy - every time I thought I figured it out there would be some other surprise development and I'd think it was someone else. The twists and turns were mindblowing.

I like all the characters and I love how each book seems to focus on different aspects. Like the first book had the point of view of the criminal. This one had a narrative of the victim/suspect/killer. Different cops in the team take the lead. Even though the books are subtly twisting the style and structure as the series progresses - it really works. Robert Dugoni is a very talented writer. This was the best book so far and I can't wait to read more.

I have just recently found Robert Dugoni's Tracy Whitecross series. The Trapped Girl is a great addition to the series which is shaping up to be on par with C.J. Box's Joe Pickett series.

A teenager finds a body in his illegally placed crabbing pot in Puget Sound. Identification of the women's body lead Whitecross and her Seattle homicide squad on search for the true identity of the woman, with lots of twists and turns. This is a well crafted, tightly woven plot. One of the best things about the book is the clues are all there for you to solve the crime with Whitecross.

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for the opportunity to review this book.
