Tracy Crosswhite and her sister Sarah were competitive
shooters. On the night of a big competition one sister goes missing while the
other is accepting a proposal from her boyfriend. Tracy is now a detective and
has not been able to stop asking questions about her sister’s disappearance.
Tracy finally gets a call that changes everything. They have found her sister’s
body. Now Tracy is sure that the man convicted of her sister’s disappearance
and death was actually innocent. Tracy is determined to find the answers she
has been looking for and enlists the help of a childhood friend. Tracy faces
old demons and unanswered questions in her quest for just for Sarah.
This is the first Robert Dugoni book I have read. I found
myself unable to put the book down from the beginning. The author did a great
job of providing flash backs without making the book confusing. The author added
a little bit of humor in some of the dialog that broke up the tension of the
story. It was done in a creative and effective way. I also found that the
author had unique ways to describe everyday things, like what your breath looks
like in cold air.
I found myself aching for Tracy and wanting her to find
answers. By the end of the book I was hoping that it wasn’t true. I felt so bad
for her but grateful that she eventually had closer. The author did a wonderful
job developing the characters to the point that I was feeling emotions for
them. I found the story picked up speed for me about half way through the book.
The author did a great job of making the reader question things along with the
characters.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading
more Robert Dugoni books in the future.
